Do the Flippy Thing with the Helicopter!!!

A soon to be classic quote from Company Wake's Marc Rossiter recent video appearance in Alliance Wake's Virginia and Back: Day 2 when talking to wakeboardSTL's Jonathan Prehn Marc says " Let it be known that the Prove It rider is on the water. Do the flippy thing with the helicopter!" has inspired Tommy T and I to do our best interpretation of the flippy thing with a helicopter. While not being done at the same time, Tommy T took the flippy part and I did the helicopter. You may not understand the purpose of this post, and I am not sure I do either, but we think it's funny.

Chance Bixby joins the RideFourEver Wake Team

Chance Bixby

Chance Bixby

wakeboardSTL's own, Chance Bixby has officially announced today that he has joined the RideFOUREver wake team. Some of you may be wondering what is or who is RideFOUREver. Taken from their website www.ridefourever.com, here is who they are:

RideFourEver started as a small retail store in Lenexa, Kansas selling skate, longboard, wakeboard, and snowboard equipment and apparel. While riding up a ski lift one day in Colorado we thought to ourselves, “What better way to live life than to be surrounded by the sports we love everyday?” Thoughts lead to action and RideFourEver was established later that year.

Demand for skate goods and accessories rapidly expanded and the Studio Skate Supply at RideFourEver was born. Located above RideFourEver and complete with a mini ramp and Red Bull lounge, the Studio Skate Supply carries a wide range of footwear, apparel, and skate products and accessories. Check out the Studio page on this site for more information, as well mini ramp time slot sign ups.

Our company constantly focuses on providing customers with quality products, unparalleled customer service, and great prices. We strive to extend our shop atmosphere to RideFourEver.com and therefore want make your shopping experience as personal as possible. We hope this is accomplished for you through features such as customized accounts, blogs, and customer feedback.
On behalf of everyone here at RideFourEver, thank you for your support. If you are ever in the Kansas City area, make sure you come check out everything we have going on here at the shop. We look forward to seeing you.

These dudes get it and we love them and what they are all about. Forget all of the retail big box stores and the boat shops that don't always have what you want, support the guys that get it and support the sports we like. Did I mention they have probably the coolest shop you will ever go in? If they don't have it, they will get you dialed, but most likely they will have it, from snow and skate and all the way to the wake they have you covered. Here is what Chance has to say:

Can you do an S-Bend? Probably not, but Chance can!!

Can you do an S-Bend? Probably not, but Chance can!!

I am super pumped to announce that ridefourever.com & I have signed a wakeboarding sponsorship deal. I am honored and priveledged to work with such a great group of guys! Ride4ever is a local rider owned shop that started from grass roots and made what we think a shop of their caliber should be. Be on the lookout for some photo shoot and video session updates (with my new Ronix setup!!)

Look for Chance to be rockin' the new Ronix One series of boards, kitted with the RideFOUREver and wakeboardSTL stickers at KC Watersports or at a waterway near you. Congrats to deserving bro who has put blood, sweat, tears and body parts into becoming a better rider and helps to motivate me to learn more. You're the man and can't wait to ride soon. If you are in some need of some wake, skate or snow products, look up our bros at www.ridefourever.com. Stayed tuned for more from wakeboardSTL and RideFOUREver in the near future. I told you 2010 was going to be big for wakeboardSTL.

By the way... Chance now has S-Bend's!!! Just sayin'.

It’s HARD Being GNARLY

When we all used to ride BMX, we had an old saying "Using your face and your body". Here is wakeboardSTL's own Todd Watson doing a front lip... LITERALLY! USING YOUR FACE is not recommended. Glad you're all right Todd and were still able to shred with us the rest of the day.

wakeboardSTL Ginger Jon Prehn is PISSED at South Park

I mean... someone has to take a stance to defend the Ginger Nation. Why not wakeboardSTL's own Jon Prehn?

* Disclaimer - wakeboardSTL wants you to view this in parody only and this is not really Jon Prehn. Jon Prehn is a ginger kid and we love him for it.

wakeboardSTL has MAD LOVE for Rob Jacques

Hands down, Rob Jacques is one of the most down to earth, AWESOMEST dudes you will ever meet. I am proud to call Rob, not only a friend, but also a mentor, both on and off the water, just like the rest of the crew at The Boarding School. Rob is one of those guys that just gives off a positive vibe that makes you glad to be alive and on the water.

For those of you who may have been living under a rock for the last few years, or refuse to embrace the bros over at Slingshot and what they are doing, here is what Rob, in his own words, wants you to know about the Slingshot Sports Reflex, his signature model, another one of the "Sickest Boards Ever" for 2010. Now go out and get one from somewhere and start slaying the rails at your local cable park.
