Sunday August 7th is the Final Contest of the 2005 Season for
Bliss Sports.

All the points will carry over from the Pierfest contest and the June 12th contest. If Solie & hopkins make the podium, it will be a close call on who will take the title. It will be a great contest cause Rodriguez or Harvey can creep up and take the season.

and w/ wakeskate you have Danielo, Brewer, & Watson competing for the 2005 Bliss Title.

here is a video of David Watson's Run at the June 12 Bliss Sports Contest

If you think Hopkins has got it under his belt you might want to reconsider. Solie is one heck of a rider and very consistant with some huge tricks... The first stop last year Solie beat Hopkins out to get first place... But due to busy working schedule Solie could not make it to the other events so Hopkins got the title. It will be close but I am pulling for Solie... Get out there and watch it it will be tight!!

Still, Hopkins is just as consistant as Solie. He landed the 900 in last years tournament. I was there it was sick. I think Scott also has a lot more style than Solie and that stuff counts. It might be close right now but Scott is def gonna tear it up. I think he'll come out with the number 1 spot.

Their is no way Hopkins has more stlye.... Yeah he landed the 900 and that was awesome but all of Solie's tricks are all smooth and clean and he is bursting with style.... I still bet my money on Solie... you wanna make a small wager on this??? LOL

I might be willing to make a lil money wager..lol..i dunno...they are both good riders..in my opinion i guess i like Hopkins' style of riding better than Solie's..i just think he is a lot more fluid..espcially in his spins...they are both better than me so it's not like im saying Solie is a horrible rider...im just pullin for Hopkins...jus wonderin...are u entering the tournament?

you can't leave out John Rodriguez, Chris Harvey, Frank Ball.
Rodriguez has points from the other 2 events and Hopkins didn't ride in the last contest, so if Rodriguez has a consistant run and w/ a few new tricks he has dialed in; he could walk away w/ the cash.
the August 7trh Contest will be the heck of a good time.

here is the latest video of Solie, Harvey, & Rodriguez

Not to be a d1ck or nething but Scott will completely tear john rodriguz apart...Johns a good rider...but scott has so many more tricks under his belt..he's doin 9's..Solie is def the only one that can give Scott a run for his money...again..im not sayin ne of them are bad riders..they all blow me out of the water...but...the whole topic of this was to see who u think is going to win....n i thinik Scott will pull it off.

Once again I am going to say you might be a little off.... I don't know much about John, but Frank Ball is crazy and if he puts together one of his good runs he will be in the running for it also. we will see.

O and Jake.... if you didnt want us to forget about the other riders, you shouldn't title the post "AUGUST 7TH-SOLIE OR HOPKINS".. LOL... anyway... see ya there man!

no I agree Hopkins is the favorite to win and the best rider out of the entire crew.
but he didn't show up for the last contest and solie might still be in sweden. So that is where Rodriguez comes to the table.
Just found out that Bliss is only going to count the points from the last contest not the Pierfest contest. So that means that Harvey & Solie have best chance to take the season/prize money, since Hopkins didn't compete in the June 12th contest.
