Anyone who has ridden off a ramp knows how much is involved, much less sticking a precise landing during tropical and shifting winds. No matter what, the exposure for the sport is terrific. They really built it up and whether it was as hard for Slezak as they made it seem or not, it was pretty fun to watch. However, I could have gone without then monotone guy w/the shades from all of the REAL videos. 8) If you noticed, he was wearing a PFD during the entire shoot. Who knows, maybe he can't swim. In any case, REAL, Liquid Force, etc. got some great free PR as well.
