Ya man, they really nailed the graphics this year. I can't wait to see the new stuff at Expo!

that is such a sick setup.

I saw the new harley on LF Australia's FB page and I'm really liking the colors and cleanliness of it. I buy way too many wakeboards lol

Is it still the same 2011 shape? That original 2011 Harley should be an instant classic. Harley's first pro model and a kickass board as well. I think that was one of the best looking boards to come out in recent years. I loved it!

Yea he's had some cool graphics. I'm really thinking of picking up his 2013 model, I'm almost positive the shape is still the same.

But I absolutely love the 09 Watson I have. Never ridden a board I liked more. But I've never ridden the Harley... Hmmm... haha

That is a solid looking setup! I'm really liking the new gear so far, especially from LF and Slingshot..
As far as I know the Harley hasn't changed, I rode the 2012 this season and absolutely loved it. Hopefully for 2013 the 143 core is a little stronger, I went through 4 boards in 4 months, but LF backs their product up and I have a 2013 on the way so I'm stoked!
Nice riding btw man!

Thanks! Points Chase has really pushed my riding a lot this month. I encourage everyone to get involved in the future. It's a great format and a great series. It's just so much fun riding against all your homies who you play scorpion with every day. We had like 10 guys showing up for intermediate division, and they were all my friends/riding buddies.

TheHebrewHammer, I've been wanting to do these since they started at McCormick's but unfortunately they're always during the week and I can't get out of work in time. Maybe next season. Would be awesome to have a competition in mind to keep me progressing and trying new things.

Sadly, the scheduling will always be a problem for some. This year, we scheduled it for Tuesdays. A lot of people asked their jobs for 5 Tuesdays off in a row, and most got it. But when it rained, we had to move to Thursday, and a lot of guys couldn't make it Sad

I'm not Mike McCormick, but I can't see him scheduling it on weekends because there are just so many new people who wanna come out and ride on those days. We'd lose a lot of business that way.

TheHebrewHammer, Yeah, I totally get it, just kind of a bummer. Wonder if he'd consider opening early on a weekend and keeping regular hours for non-contestants.

Riders don't have to make all of the events correct? Just a few and if they ride well enough they can still qualify?

The rules this year were that we counted your top 4 finishes out of 5 stops. It was definitely an advantage to make all of them because that meant you could screw up once. But my buddy Chase who I mentioned in the film only made it out to 4 stops and still racked up enough points to win, so yeah.

Another thing you could do would be to compete at a different park for a stop or two. Your points from the other park would count towards your total at McCormick's. So if we had ours on Tuesday and you couldn't make it this week, you could go to O-Dub on Thursday and compete there instead. Or Revo. Or Rixen.

TheHebrewHammer, Ah, got it. I thought it was that you had to make 3 or something. That's cool about being able to hit different parks. Unfortunately doesn't help me much but good to know. I can probably make it work next year if I just plan it better, my boss is usually cool about stuff like that.

Word, good luck. I see we're in the same city! O-dub is a helluva drive from St. Pete, but I'm gonna try to put in a lot of time there to tune up for nationals.
