What an incredible weekend for Hyperlite. Hyperlite product and/or riders not only took the podium, but won almost every single division.
Junior Boys was won by Freddie Wayne on his Motive and Murray bindings. He came and talked to us after then event, and Eddie Beverly was gathering his info as a prospect for some kind of product sponsorship. Freddie was totally stoked on our product.
Junior Men’s had Jimmy Lariche taking first overall yet again. First, Board Up Miami, and now Wake Games! He had some tough competition with Bob Soven, but Jimmy’s nose grab crow, Batwing, huge floating bs 180, bs 5, dum dum, and very solid backside lipslides put him ahead of the competition as the clear-cut champion!
Nicola Butler won her first event ever as she competed in her first Pro Women’s competition. She was a tireless worker all week. After her heat would be done for the day, she would take off for the cable park and ride for an hour or two really working on the sliders and a few of her spins. Our Pro Men were watching her and were really impressed! And what is most amazing is that she dominated the Women’s competition only four weeks after dislocating her shoulder!
Brian Grubb had an incredible finish to his final run to fend off Danny Hampson and Reed Hanson for first place. After a fall on his first pass, Brian put together a clinic of a second pass landing shuv-it indys, shuv-it indy 180s, and a bs 3. The whole riders dock was pumped up seeing him dominate his second and final pass to take first place as the Men’s wakeskate champion.
And Rusty Malinoski had as close of a finish as you could ask for with Phillip Soven but he came away as the Champion. In the finals were Josh Sanders, Adam Errington, Rusty, and Phillip Soven. Rusty came out charging with a melon crow, heel 7, bs 1, 270 transfer on the transfer box, stale glide, switch malto mobe, nuclear backroll to blind, and nailed a huge heelside backside 7 off the double up. Rusty stood up both passes and just had to watch Phil stand up both of his as well. But when the announcer called Rusty’s name for the Wake Games Pro Men’s Champion, the crowd went crazy, and Rusty walked proudly displaying his Marek 146 as his weapon of choice as he continues his quest to capture the King of Wake title for 2008.

The first parts of the building began to arrive on site on Thursday Afternoon! The crew is expected to start putting up the building on Monday!
This shot looks directly at the front of the building towards the back. The front part of the building (the large area in the shape of a diamond) is the showroom.
This shot shows one of the entrance ramps into the showroom. From this angle, you are looking directly across the showroom floor.
From this angle, you are looking from the very back of the building towards the front. This long rectangular area is the service area. The service area is huge, measuring 80 feet across and allowing us to house six 24 foot Supra SSVs inside with the service doors closed!
This is our traditional shot from across the street. The building is pointing almost directly at where I am standing. The building is in the shape of a large arrow. The point of the arrow is the showroom, and the back of the arrow is the service department.
