Red Bull Wake of Fame - Ft. Laud. - Friday, 12/3/10

[ricki]

This just came out of no where, should be interesting ...





"Red Bull Wake of Fame marks the next generation of wakeboarding and wakeskating as it pushes the boundaries of the sport. At the legendary Ft. Lauderdale Aquatic Complex that is nestled just behind the International Swimming Hall of Fame, there are three pools that typically host world champion swimmers and divers but on Friday, December 3rd it will transform into a “wake park” and become the newest playground for the industry’s... top riders.

Set amongst three outdoor pools – training lap pool, competition pool and diving well – each is linked together by features including hand rails, sliders, a quarter pipe and a kicker that are sure to make for some big air tricks. The winch system allows the athletes to use their most creative and dynamic skills along the course, which is inspired by skateboard parks.

Caution: Sitting in the front rows will more than likely lead to soggy pants and frizzy hair... In other words, expect to get wet!

Twelve wakeboarders: JD Webb, Adam Errington, Parks Bonifay, Steel Laferty, Ollie Derome, Raphael Derome, Keith Lidberg, Danny Harf, Nico von Lerchenfeld, Kevin Henshaw and Shane Bonifay

Six wakeskaters: Brian Grubb, Reed Hansen, Ben Horan, Nick Taylor, Andy Pastura and Brandon Thomas

Gates open at 6:00 p.m.
Athlete meet-and-greet at 6:15 p.m.
Competition begins at 7:00 p.m."
