nationals day 3-finals

today concluded this years nationals..there were cameras everywhere and the weather was nice. it was really sick and felt super legit. edan rode early and placed fourth in mens c. joel rode after in mens a semis and had a sick run. tantrum, sw tantrum, perfect whirly, scarecrow, method, turn, frontroll fall, roll to blind, switch raley, huge kgb. he advanced to the finals and ended up placing sixth overall in mens a and fourth overall in wakeskate. tennessee took the team title which didnt surprise anyone. they were sick. they had their riders land a handle pass invert in mens a, c, and d and qualified for finals in five or more divisions. nuts. chico got second and uf got third. uw madison and uw lacrosse got fourth and fifth and vtwake got sixth. not bad. really proud of how everyone rode and hopefully we can build on this next year. i really believe if we had brought our best possible team that we could have placed second or third. have a great summer everyone and remember to turn  on cbs at two o clock saturday june twenty fifth and three o clock june twenty sixth to see edan and joel and all the rest of the finals action from this year.

nationals day 2

day two in san diego, joel placed second in his heat of five, with the top three advancing. so he should have a pretty solid position in the semis for mens a tomorrow morning. mike and valerie didnt advance but rode pretty well. they both tied for seventh in their divisions. edan had another good run and posted the second highest score in mens c, qualifying for tomorrow. the top four scores in that division were all within eleven points out of a hundred so that final should be really good. i didnt have my best run and didnt qualify for mens but was third in my heat so i tied for fifth. lastly, joel somehow snuck into the finals in wakeskate which was pretty awesome. so we still have joel to ride semis for mens a, and have two riders in the finals tomorrow. not bad.
