alright. i know this sounds a little out there. but in my history class we have to do a project on someone that "inspires" us that was alive between 1920 and modern day. and being me, i decided to do keith lyman. it took me about 20 minutes of trying to convice my teacher to let me do him. (im a junior in high school by the way) im posting this here because im looking for any random facts that might not be on the web. if anyone has anything cool that they know about him. please do share.. also. we have to have some sort of a visual (video, poster etc.) does anyone know of any links to videos that are 4 minutes or less? also. if you happen to run across a cool picture of him. post the picture or link here.
thanks a ton guys. im hoping this turn out sick!

haha. thanks for your help everyone. hes been my favorite rider since i got into the sport. i thought it would be pretty sick to do a report on him. im going to bring my board in, a video and the written project (i ride the lyman btw laughs) its not due until like april though....

David. Great pick for that project. I say you just show Lymans section in "push process". its about 4 minutes.

I would not be suprised if you contact the right people, I/E David Williams from wakeworld or Matty B From Oakly you could score your own personal interview with Keith he is a very approachable.

^^^^ already working on it.

Okay so I got in touch with my friend who helped with Push Process. He is the voice in the intro.

He is going to call Keith right now and get back to me. At the very least, David should be expecting an email from him or Keith very soon.

ahahahaha, way to go VLX ENVY!

When I was posting I put up Matty B's Email and a few other emails, then I thought about it for a second and was like, I better not post these in a public forum!

Good WORK!

David, give me a call. I left you my details in your e-mail. I'll give Keith a buzz for you. I am sure he'll be stoked to help you.

Apparently I wasn't the only one. Keith's phone has been inundated with calls about this.

Gotta love the wake community.

WOW!

Love wake world community. sometimes we can get at each others throats at times but for the most part, most of the time, there is so much support.

you should film the speech (if there is a speech to be made), at least for your own memories ehh?

You should post your homework on the site so we can see what you have to do to get 100%.
