Default And the best trick award goes to........

Billy Parker!!

The best trick was judged by the riders and the overwhelming majority (95%) voted for Billy.
1k wealthier and major recognition.

Billy threw down a tow up behind a jet ski, 60 feet at least, 3 kiteloops on the way down and rode away. The crowd went wild and before he could do another one the rope got sucked into the ski.

I have personally seen Bills tow-ups on several occasions and he is just FEARLESS!!! Great job Billy! We should all buy him a long island iced tea or two for his insanely positive reflection of St. Petersburg on the rest of the kiteboarding world...Bill and now Josh and Alex have effectively put St. Pete on the kiteboarding map!!!

AWESOME.

Funny thing is, we saw one even higher also with 3 kiteloops that he rode away from clean just last week at the Skyway (like Toby said). Sweet!
We were all going crazy out there watching that stuff! Glad it got best trick, I know it was the most unreal thing I've in a while :wink:
(I wondered why he was risking getting hurt just prior to a comp... now I know :P )

Can we fast forward thru the podcast?
I never got past the first 15 minutes of sponsor shout outs and similar stuff.
Also, can we somehow go straight to Bill and stuff?
I've never listened to one, so am clueless.

Just heard Bill's interview and it was awesome. Good job Bill. I think our boy has finally hit the bigtime and noone deserves it more than he does.
