Yes! Blake Bishop has his own cable park
Recently, a few of the Ambush Board Co. and BuyWake.com Team Riders ran out of town to visit fellow team rider Blake Bishop at his private cable park. You may or may not have heard of this kid, but one thing is certain – you will remember his name. Blake is an amazing 16 year old kid with the seasoned skills of a veteran and is backed by Slingshot Wake. Cole Vanthof sat down with Blake and probed his brain with some random questions. Take a minute to get to know this up and coming Georgia Boy.
1.Who is Blake Bishop?

Valdosta Wake Compound for sure. They have rabbits on their land gap, D.I.Y Skate Park, and all their rails are hand made. What more do you need?
