Riding with a 'pro'

For those of you who have never had the opportunity, make it a point to check out your local dealers/shops to see if any pros are coming to give clinics this summer. On one hand, it is depressingly sick to see them throw all their tricks so effortlessly while you struggle to get a simple grab. On the other hand, I have had no experience behind the boat that made me simply stare in amazement making primitive 'ooooh' sounds (unfortunately, no hot chics on our lake flash us like they seem to all the time in CA :-)

Anyway, here is JD Webb riding last summer at a clinic. I didn't shoot the footage/make the vid, but I was sitting in the boat staring open-mouthed in wonder. Good times!

JD Webb is one of the classiest acts around. I love that kid. I always watch how a pro handles kids even in the worst conditions.

His section in Delta Sessions 2 is amazing. Out of all the pros I have rode with over the years, JD seemed to be the most complete and consistant. Also he always seemed to be having fun.

Riding with the pros is humbling. I got to ride with Kevin Henshaw two summers ago. Although he was new to the scene back then, he definately went big and smooth on everything.
