September 14, 2010
Vote texas people
September 15, 2010
there is NO WAY that's in Vancouver. Maybe Kelowna or some other Interior area of B.C.
September 15, 2010
Vancouver is where Jimmy and I are both from. If you want the specifics photo shot on allisson lake, half hour north of Merritt. Great little lake to ride. And a really cool clay like moutain as a backdrop.
Meka.
September 15, 2010
Both photos are great but the first one is much more interesting to look at.
September 15, 2010
How is the Canadian dude ahead. The rider is just kinda there, not doing anything…just sayin
September 15, 2010
He is definitely more than "just kinda there." Just Sayin'… That looks like a pretty stylish poked out indy type grab (if thats what its called in wakeboarding)… The other photo in my opinion is kinda tailfish and it looks pretty twirly! I don't wakeboard but I like the photo that Meka submitted. The photo is bad ass it looks kinda rugged with the mountain in the background…
September 15, 2010
hmmm…maybe because he's twenty feet in the air basically cruising on the highway and the other guy is doing a simple grab that lots of beginners can do no problem, the camera man is the guy who captured a nice view and it just so happens theres a wake boarder in the way. the other photo is a mix a great wakeboarding and beautiful northern BC scenery.
enough said
September 15, 2010
Agreed. Photo two is weak sauce. I could have done that in my first month of wakeboarding. And its sad because there is no possible way a random viewing wakeboarder would vote meka. That fool is definitely repetatively voting for himself to have that many votes and be winning.
September 16, 2010
wakeboarding , cool water blue skys, big air. Only one of these pictures does that for me. Let's go matt
September 16, 2010
The Guy in the second pic definitely has some big air, but not enough color or depth in the shot I think. I really hate how some people on here are so biased and keep trying to tear down the riders. Mobe grab vs wake to wake Indy..no contest. I might have read wrong, but did somebody write that the bottom trick is harder than the top? Really? And ive seen the GORGEOUS B.C. scenery before…that's not it. Good photos. .good riders.. good luck.
September 16, 2010
FYI the kid in the second pic, Jimmy is only 16 and has got more style than some of you will ever have.
Just saying. Oh it's off adouble up an he went this high thirty in a row…
September 17, 2010
Nobody is hating on the rider or the style its the picture bro…. Matt's picture just has more depth to it than meka's but the rider in meka's is getting some sick air and a styling poke … and to whoever said a beginner could do that isn't a wakeboarder.
September 17, 2010
forget the pictures….who still uses Zapafino…seriously
September 17, 2010
No question, it is Jimmy all the way!
September 17, 2010
jimmy for sure.. hes from BC and is already at a disadvantage cause hes baked…. the texas dude is sober as a judge with only 5 feet of air compaired to 20… all u jimbo!!!
September 17, 2010
Jimmy frandsen is an awesome wakeboarder, jimmy all the way
September 17, 2010
To be fair E$ (Rider in Matt's pic) is an OG for sure.

September 19, 2010
This is retarded! If the rocks are REALLY a better picture then so be it…however, this vote count is f*cked.
September 20, 2010
Good job guys, both photos are extremely good, tough to vote. I like the color contrast in MEKA's photo, but the lighting is amazing in Matt's photo
September 20, 2010
Thanks for all the votes! I really appreciate all the support!
November 13, 2010
