The Original – No Skis, No Tubes, No Bulls#!t
The United States of America’s very own son of Michigan…The “Dirty” Mike Dowdy just topped the podium and grabbed 1st place at the Pro Wake Tour in Texas this past weekend! Mike put together a super solid run as we knew he had it in him! Take a peek at his run and and we can’t wait to see him back on the podium more this year!
Harley is starting off 2016 exactly how he wanted. Winning. The level of tricks going down between him, Mike Dowdy, Dean Smith and others is astonishing. This year’s Nautique Wake Open at Orlando Watersports Complex featured a packed crowd of onlookers and the best wakeboarders and wakeskaters in the world. Legend JD Webb even through down and proved that he still has what it take stop be on the podium.
BRADLEE RUTLEDGE recently caught up with Blake Bishop to talk about his new Slingshot LTD wakeboard and what he plans on doing with his summer riding. Check it out!
How did you find out about your first collab board with slingshot and Buywake?
Derek Davis from Ambush/BuyWake called me while I was in Australia and told me on my 18th birthday. It’s probably the best birthday present I have ever gotten, haha. I can’t thank BuyWake and Slingshot enough for making a board with my name on it.
What’s your favorite part about the board?
The color way and graphic we’re a perfect combination and the Shredtown base is my favorite. The Shredtwon base is so good and different than the rest of the boards so combining my favorite base and shape made for everything I could ask for in a board. Also, Windsor is one of my best friends so to have my name on his board shape that I usually ride was super cool. I was staying with Windsor in Australia at the time I found out so it was super cool.
The boys have been steady killing it down at Valdosta Wake Compound filming for The Coalition movie that should be out around Surf Expo time. Seriously these guys are not only good wakeboarders, but they are putting in the work building and doing the damn thing! Make sure you keep up with The Coalition crew here.
