Winter is approaching and what will your off season consist of to stay in Wakeboard Shape?
Hopefully snowboarding a ton, a Little P90-X with Tony, Standing at boat shows for 12 hours at a time and walking through many airports to and from boat shows.

Give us your most memorable Wakeboard moment from 2010.
I was finishing up a set down at Lake Norris in Tennessee and the water was glass so I cut out away from the wake and turn my board to do a butter slide. Im gliding along and I catch the whole front edge of my board.  It slapped me so hard my lips and the right side of my face swelled up from hitting the water. It felt like Liddell hit me.  It was probably the hardest fall I have ever had on a wakeboard and the lame part about it was that I was doing nothing cool.  Fortunate for me, there were about 16 people (half babes) in the boat so witness it. Epic Fail!

And how about your most memorable Non-Wakeboard moment.
I think the 38 mile Barefooting endurance relay that we race in is at the top of the list. There are always awesome diggers and we never do that well but its one of the most fun events of the summer.  Even though we got 9th place “Team Truth” is still the most legit!

Free Ride or Train?  Is there a difference between free-riding and doing well in competition?
Free Ride for sure!  When your free riding there is no added pressure to do the same run over and over again.  You can do what feels good and go as big as you want to go.  When I train for a contest I have to rush things together so I can get 5 to 6 tricks in and not go as big as normal.  Its still fun, but its nothing like taking your time and during free ride set to enjoy every trick you do.  Competitions are good because it is the only real way to measure your riding against others in a consistent environment.  Its good to be a disciplined contest rider for sure but I bet every good contest rider would say that a glassy free ride set in their back yard is really what they live for.

Big plans for next season?  Give us the low down.
Put more than 200 hours on my boat next season,  Film as much as possible and get more Midwest riding out for the masses to see, Continue to push wakeboarding and getting more people involved through clinics and demos at Hyperlite and Nautique dealerships,  Land a 1080, Stand up my best contest pass to date, Live dreams.

If the world were ending tomorrow, what would you go land today so you’d be happy?
