NNew Braunfels, TX –
The fifth annual Cablestock is over, and the anticipation for number six is
already here. The 10,000 spectators that came out during the three day event
were treated to the best riding ever at TSR. Not to mention a pretty good bikini
contest and the best beach party so far this year!
Sunday kicked off with the first stop of the
inaugural WWA Wake Park series presented by 1080. After four rounds of
eliminating riders, the head-2-head final pitted two TSR riders against each
other. Tom Fooshee, winner of the past two Cablestock cable wakeboard
competitions, was riding against 2005 World Games champion, Josh Rice. Both
riders proved to be the most versatile, killing it both on the structures as
well as tricks in the flats. Tom, who also won the structure only comp, edged
out Josh in what was the most talented riding I have ever seen on any cable.
Both will sit on top of the overall series standings after defending home court
in stop number one.
John Ruark upset Bret Little at his home site in the much anticipated
cable wakeskate division. Bret and John are by far the most talented wakeskaters
at TSR and OWC respectively and will be battling it out all season long. The two
will likely face off again in the Phillipines this weekend and again at the
second stop of the Byerly Toe Jam held at TSR in June.
During a break in the action on Saturday afternoon, the
women’s cable champ, Heather Johnson, and the women’s boat champion Amber Wing,
entered the always famous TSR bikini competition. They were just two of many
beautiful girls who helped motivate all of the athletes to ride a little better
all weekend long.ew Braunfels, T
The
wakeskate competition on the boat lake saw three riders qualify on Saturdday:
Ross Gardner, Oury Yarborough & Ben Kiser, to meet up with three protected
riders: Aaron Reed, Brandon Thomas and Clint Tompkins for a six man final. Ross
was the only rider to successfully slide the A-Frame, but Brandon Thomas and
Aaron Reed were able to finish first and second because of their strong runs
behind the MasterCraft X-Star.
The boat competition had just as much suspense as the finals on the
cable. Just one year ago, Jeff Weatherall handed Andrew Adkison his first and
only loss in over 25 head to head match-ups since TSR reinvented the format back
in 2003. The two would have to face some difficult competition to make it to the
finals to square off. While current world champion Andrew Adkison made it look
almost to easy, it took almost everything Jeff had to beat cable champion Tom
Fooshee in the semi finals. The matchup was set and it lived up to the
expectations. Andrew regained his title and was congratulated first by Jeff
Weatherall. As always at Cablestock and TSR the atmosphere was laid back and all
of the competitors rode better because of it. The pressure was off as everyone
was joking around and having fun all weekend. It was sad to see it end, but as I
mentioned earlier everyone who attended and competed is already looking forward
to 2008!
A big shout out to all of those
who attended and supported Cablestock! TSR could not have put on such a quality
event without the support of: MasterCraft, Nike 6.0, Liquid Force, Helium, Reef,
Wakeboarding Mag, WWA, 1080, WetSounds, Anarchy, Nixon, Swami Studios,
WakeWorld.com, Wakeboarder.com &
