Slider Slam: One Hell of a Party

Kennesaw, Georgia - Ambush Boarding Co., the world's most progressive boardsports retailer and Buywake.com, the only real online wakeboard shop, are pleased to announce the winners of the Win a Weekend with Shawn Watson Contest.

Many companies run contests to promote themselves and their products. Typically, these contests involve hundreds of entrants, of which a handful win some sort of prize, which is usually a physical object such as a car, TV or even cash. Liquid Force, on the other hand, offered up something a little more special in their recent Relentless contest with Buywake.com. They served up an experience that could potentially alter some lucky rider's entire notion of the sport of wakeboarding. The grand prize is an all expense paid weekend with Shawn Watson.

In order to qualify, those interested in entering the contest had to simply purchase a copy of Relentless, the new Liquid Force team video from Buywake.com, which, given the tremendous amount of hype surrounding the video's release, was an easy task for most wakeboarders. Immediately after the contest was announced, the orders came rolling in at such a dizzying pace that it seemed as if the contestants were being entered into a drawing to win a date with the last girl on Earth. In the end, it was Patricia Salmon of Bloomfield, New York whose name was drawn. Upon notifying the winner, it became apparent that, for her, perhaps it was like winning a three-day getaway with the last guy on earth, and, fortunately for Ms. Salmon, that guy was Mr. Dreamboat, Shawn Watson.

However, Patricia Salmon wasn't the only winner. Susan Nelson of Camarillo, California, Todd Riley of Berryville, Virginia and Kelly Steele of New Paris, Ohio were each lucky enough to win the second place prize of a Liquid Force Relentless hat. Their respective reactions to winning weren't quite as dramatic, but they were still ostensibly glad to have won something in the process of purchasing one of the best films to be released this year.

Additionally, Buywake.com partnered with WakeWorld to add a little extra flave to the contest. In this contest, all that was required was to enter your e-mail address. Daniel Roberts of Portland, Oregon scored a 2005 Substance 138. Runner-ups Martin Dumais, Andrew Jon Lysne and Jim Bogden each won $50 gift certificates to Buywake.com and one-year subscriptions to Alliance Wakeboard Magazine.

Ambush Boarding Co. and Buywake.com are privately held, rider owned and operated corporations established in Georgia in 1997 and 2001.
