Kyle Alberts needs to be on the list.

Yea, Kyle Alberts for sure, and don't forget Raphael Derome, a great combo of style and tech.

Isaac, coop da loop is killin it for sure, but he is in the boys division.

AJ Racinelli. Saw his run on Fuel TV last night... he has really stepped it up... Could not believe his 9 off the double up...
Congrats.

Jimmy and Kyle ride like the pros. AJ and Ryan are right up there. Any of those 4 guys are a good choice. Alex is up there and Derome can ride too. Mitch Langsfield from Australia killed it in the APWT and is a rider to look at. The other Australian who was at Worlds last year in Boy's division I believe is also up there.

The thing I notice with Jr. Men is things can change from one year to the next very rapidly. Who would have bet that Jimmy would be 0 fo 4 on the tour? Not me. It must be the CC vs. the MC. He is 3-0 behind the CC and 0-4 behind the MC.

Caught Fuel TV myself last night and either I was dreaming or AJ was throwin' down HS BS 7's.

(teamvaldez) · (teamvaldez) **Join Date: Apr 2003** 07-17-2007, 10:25 AM

Ryan is an awesome rider and I absolutley adore him. AJ is killing it this year for sure. Jimmys run at Masters was at a pro level for sure, it was amazing, and Alex... when he is on (much like Eddie) is so fun to watch!
The australian rider that you mention is Harley Clifford. Mitch Langsfield seems like he came out of nowhere but is a huge factor.
It will be interesting to see how Jacob does with the big boys next year as well.

(dudeman) · (dudeman) **Join Date: Mar 2005** 07-17-2007, 11:26 AM

Not sure what the name was, it was on at 9:30pm EST. May have been highlights of the 1st 3 stops. Not sure if it will air again. I always miss these. Got lucky last night.

(andy_nintzel)

I think it was the King of Wake series they are running on Fuel.

How can I check out FUEL TV ??? Is that cable ?

(dudeman) · (dudeman) **Join Date: Mar 2005** 07-17-2007, 1:24 PM

Satellite channel 612 on the SE Coast.

The whole Derome family is a gift to the sport. Both Oliver and Raphael are awesome riders and just great people!!

Dudeman, Aj did a backside 5 on fuel last night from the texas stop, super smooth on it and it's in his contest pass at every stop, he makes it look to easy. Portland should have great water condisions for Jr. men's quarter finals this weekend with a 9:00 am start time on Sat. I can't wait.

I think Kyle Alberts has the best overall mix of tricks and style, not to mention he is a great kid. There are quite a few kids riding really well though.

(ynot) · (ynot) **Join Date: Jan 2007** 07-18-2007, 12:27 AM

anyone say Rhett Whatley yet? killer rider, big bag of tricks, super smooth and 2nd at 2 stops this year.

but i agree with everyone on here. all very good riders.

(razorjaw)

Mitch Langfield.

(pjdave) · (pjdave) **Join Date: Oct 2002** 07-18-2007, 1:19 AM

Mitch Langfield, there isnt much this kid cant do, every week he has a new set of tricks. He took out Kelowna, lets see what happens in Portland.

I agree about Kyle Alberts... there really isnt a trick that he can't do- and he can do it switch!!! If he could put his contest riding together he would be unstoppable.

(headhunter) · (headhunter) **Join Date: Jun 2007** 07-19-2007, 4:57 AM

They're all good!!

Keep in mind, Ryan is coming back from a Shoulder injury and he's tearing it up. I expect him to improve as the season goes on as he continues to regain his riding level.

All of the above riders rip!

(cheeseman) · (cheeseman) **Join Date: Oct 2005** 07-19-2007, 11:47 AM

All of the guys at the Junior Men's level are awesome and are incredible riders. I vote for Alex Scagliotti because he rides behind my boat alot and I get to see him the most. He can ride with style as good or better than most of the names that have been mentioned. It amazes me how big some guys can go. Like Tony Carroll, he can go huge and has many different stylish tricks but you never hear his named mentioned. He deserves some props.

(wakedad33) · (wakedad33) **Join Date: Oct 2005** 07-19-2007, 4:14 PM

Another rider not mentioned yet is Alex Hamrick, he had his season end before the 1st stop with a serious knee injury, he has the talent to contend at every contest. Hope to see him back on the tour next year, (i think he has one more year) super nice kid. I know that my son was really bummed out when Alex sent him a text the night it happened. Alex, hope your rehab is going good.

(knarbar) · (knarbar) **Join Date: Nov 2006** 07-19-2007, 4:22 PM

Tony Carrol, give that guy a year or two and he'll be throwin wake to wake 7's with ease

(knarbar) · (knarbar) **Join Date: Nov 2006** 07-19-2007, 4:25 PM

Wow didnt read your thread Chuck before i wrote that but ya he definetly needs some credit. Done alot of boat shows with him in the past 2 years and he's just gotten more and more chill. I think he'll fit right in on the pro tour.

(ynot) · (ynot) **Join Date: Jan 2007** 07-19-2007, 4:44 PM

Alex Hamrick, wow, he did a 9 in every one of his runs at nationals last year and kgb to switch kgb in just about all of them as well.
I was another person really bumed to hear that he was not going to be able to ride this season. Hope your doing good bro.

(nathan_from_downunder)

harly cliffod, mitch langfield and jarrod askew all kill it

(bigmikesvl) · (bigmikesvl) **Join Date: Jul 2007** 07-25-2007, 9:37 PM

I will admit that they are all great. But let's give props to the Jr. Men's rider who won the tour AJ Racinelli.

(nathan_from_downunder)

mitch won 2 from 2 so i think at this point of time he is the best jr mens rider going around
