PJ MARKS - Tribute

david-d · Guest

With all this recent hype over PJ Marks, I just thought I'd post a little thread saying how much I appreciate learning ollie 180's, etc. from his techniques. That is all. Please chime in if any of you have love for PJ like I do.

david, jeff7, is my buddy that I was tellin you about in the other thread.. And fo anyone with any doubt, Pj is presumably the very best one handed ollie'r in the entire world, and those ollies to blind are nothing to sneeze at either... I LOVE YOU PJ

okay, am I the only one who has searched freakin everywhere on the internet and cant find a picture PJ? The only one I can come up with is the one above... Its a conspiracy against PJ, another example of the world just tryin to hold em back

but I guess I can just pull up some of the personal pictures I have of PJ, like some from our tour to Iraq. Man we got close, Id trust that joker with my life.. he was always a bit darker than us

and I will never forget the day he did this, that guy is so funny

Could someone explain the recent "hype" about PJ?

I don't know this guy from a hole in the wall, but I do have one PJ story:

"Back in the day" of early wb history I was living in NY after having lived in S. FL for about a year and I wanted to come down to ride. It seemed at that time that every wb'er knew every other. And every wb'er knew either Darin, Travis, and/or PJ. So, I called PJ's school and he answered the phone. I inquired about going to his camp and then he asked how old I was. I said 28 or something and he said "oh, we don't take campers that old." It was very funny b/c of course we are about the same age.

That's my PJ story, and i've watched his tape something "dirty tricks" 100 times when I was first learning.

for those of you who do not know PJ Marks - he is the owner of the wakeboard camp, and used to be a tour commentator.

I am not sure what this hype is about though......Anyone want to comment on what is happening?

david-d · Guest

Alright since I am the one who started this thread let me elaborate once again.

I wanted to have a tribute thread for PJ because he is a really underrated rider and doesn't get enough attention. Is that too much to ask? Is that a crime? Am I doing something wrong here? Christ. Rolling Eyes

like josh said the word tribute makes it sound like he died.

david-d · Guest

Well maybe the word tribute means:

tribute/[trib-yoot]
–noun
1. a gift, testimonial, compliment, or the like, given as due or in acknowledgment of gratitude or esteem.

And besides, we all know he didn't die...

RIP pj marks Crying or Very sad

david-d, I know what it means, but usually that is the only time you hear it.

david-d · Guest

Well I think many would agree if I said PJ was a special occasion...

flyhigh · Addict Joined: 18 Jul 2006 Posts: 809 City: Monticello

david-d, DOnt let the haters get ya down, I feel ya, and they have tributes to lots of things that are not deceased..........

intotheflats, In this wild world today I am married and completely hetro, but For PJ, I might have to think about it, but I am pretty sure I would carry his love child

pj doesn't own the wakeboard camp anymore.

My first instructional vid was Higher Education and PJ's SUAVE style of riding has been very inspiring to my current riding style & which I'm still working on.

jumalian, Are you serious, who owns the camp now?

garveyj · Addict Joined: 12 Jan 2003 Posts: 877 City: Savage, MN

jumalian, yeah - who owns it now - Last I knew he and Kyle Schmidt were on a joint venture with the camp, but he was the owner of it.
