Question about coverage of 1st tour stop

Perhaps I'm over analyzing this but, when Parks was riding at the 1st tour stop, the announcer commented that it looks like Parks was having a tough time getting use to the wake behind the new deck star. It looked to me that this was also the case. As far as I know, Parks rides for Mastercraft- if the wake is so ground breaking surely he has a deck-star at his house. Why would he not be used to the wake? Or- if the wake is so good, why doesn't he already have one? Just thinking...

He got one the week before the Dallas VTC.

Thanks- I'll say it again though, if the wake is so great, why is he just now getting one? They've had them out for around a year now.

IMO, the commentator was probably in error. Naturally, it takes time to get used to a wake, especially for us mortals, but I doubt the problem for Parks, if there was any, was the wake. I do not think the wake was, or could be, that different. I was at the Orlando pwt stop. Also, did parks get an x-star, or an x2? Tara Hamilton got the x2.

Parks got the new X-star
