Watched both episodes last night. It's a riot just like I thought it'd be. Definitely watch it if you're a fan of wakeboarding and seeing the laid back chill lifestyle we all want lol

The first episode was OK and I thought really poorly edited. The first 10 minutes were just choppy and didn't flow very well.
The second episode was way better, more entertaining and pretty darn funny. My wife was cracking up. Really good for the sport that's for sure.

I agree - definitely needs more riding footage, but they are so hilarious. My fiance has never been wakeboarding and he totally got their humor. Seems like just yesterday little froggy was a little tator tot on a board...

Did anyone else notice the ridiculous splash sound effects they put in when wakeboarding? I was expecting glitter and light effects to pop out of the board.

KyleHenry, Try mtv.com. I watched the first episode on there. You can usually stream them, you just have to wait until a day or two after it airs.

I was able to DL the torrent successfully as well, if anyone decides to go that route.

GnarShredd - I definitely caught that...so bad its almost comical in itseld!! Laughing

I actually have seen plenty of the riding from bob and phil over the years. I like to see the other side. but we do want people to see the riding part of it and maybe we can gain more people in our sport of wakeboarding.

Yes! Would love to see more riding!! Very Happy

yah, on the more riding, but the funny stuff is ok with me aswell. perhaps they could do a whole episode out on the boat in the future.

There was only a small bit of riding, and the rest was of their at home lives...it was still really funny but would love to see more riding.

cchandy · Criminal Joined: 08 Jun 2012 Posts: 65 City: Lexington

Rob is hilarious....Phil on the other hand, seems to be a bit of a moody poon. Maybe that's just the way the show is trying to portray him tho...

Would love to see more riding as well, but maybe that's something they will increase over time once they get some ratings under the belt. If there was a lot of riding right from the get go I would expect it would be hard to build an audience considering the majority of those watching probably don't ride.

Regardless, great for the sport IMO.

^The show really does make Phil seem worse than he is, Bob is the funny laid back guy, I like Phil better, just because he takes it serious and is trying to be serious about it as a career. I like the comical part of it, but the 2nd aired show had less wake boarding footage than the 1st, which was pretty sad. My favorite part of the first episodes was the part where they played PIG.

My wife is friends with Mrs.Soven, and just a heads up they have already inked a deal for a season 2.

Ps205, I have a day walker little brother like Phil and they tend to make you moody

It's a to little wakeboarding! Especially yesterdays episode!

I believe much is set up, but the punch Phil threw at Bob at the cablepark was real.

If I was in Phil's position, I would be moody as f*ck to. Missed yesterdays episode, will have to look it up.

I was watching it for the first 3 episodes but unfortunately deployment kind of messed up the season for me. When I get back home hopefully I'll get to catch up on the rest of the season.

Sick show, by far the best MTV has to offer considering all the rest are garbage shows.

Anyone know how many episodes Season 1 has? I've seen all 12 so far, but are there more to come?

mgs917 · Addict Joined: 17 Sep 2008 Posts: 532 City: Spartanburg

Episode 11-12 were the finale for the season. I think it depends on who you talk to whether they are doing a second season. I have heard yes and no. Someone posted above that they know Mrs. Soven and she said season 2 is already a done deal. I would like to see it, I did enjoy the show.

Agreed!
