The Monster Energy WWA Wake Park Triple Crown hits KC Watersports this weekend! As the 2nd stop of the series, this is going to be a killer event at KC with lots of riding from the likes of Nick Davies, Tom Fooshee, Lior Sofer, Bob Soven, Shane Bonifay, Jim LaRiche, Kyle Hyams, Aaron Rathy, Keith Lyman and Kevin Henshaw.

Needless to say, with all the heavy hitters going to KC this weekend there is going to be some unreal riding going down. Probably one of the most anticipated parts of the event will be the Ten-80 Obstacles-Only division. With a healthy mixture of the best cable and boat riders it's going to be rad to watch them on the water at the same time hitting the rails and kickers.

A big thanks to Monster Energy Drink, Ten-80, Liquid Force, Ronix, Slingshot, Oakley, Pro-Tec, Alliance Wakeboard Magazine and KC Watersports for making this event happen.

The format of the Pro and Open divisions will consist of one and a quarter laps around the cable, with riders getting a Monster Energy Trick at the end of their runs in the Finals. During the Ten-80 Obstacles Only divisions it will be a timed jam format that allows multiple riders to go out on the cable at once and go trick for trick on the rails and kickers.

If you're coming out to watch the competition you don't have to stay dry all day. The general public can actually go and ride all weekend long during the event. KC Watersports is offering a two-day event pass for $50 for the general public. During the day there will be designated time slots to demo different products from all of the event sponsors, and the cable opens right after the contest is over until 8pm. Come out and ride with all the top pros!

All riders will be required to have a Coast Guard Approved vest if they plan on riding during the public sessions throughout the weekend.

Registration for the 2nd stop of the Triple Crown is now open. Please fill out the Triple Crown Stop #2 Registration Form and submit it to the WWA at EventOrganizer@thewwa.com.

You will receive a confirmation email once you have registered. Please print this out and bring it with you to the event.

Sparks, Nev. -- The King of Wake,The world's elite pro wakeboarding series -- makes its fifth stop of the 2010 season on July 14-18 in the greater Reno area of Sparks, Nev., for the Air Nautique WWA Wakeboard National Championships, presented by ROCKSTAR. With four of the eight stops already in the books for the 2010 season, only 27 of the 62 riders remain in contention for the King of Wake crown, and from those 27 pros, only 10 will still be alive in the points chase, following the Air Nautique WWA Nationals.

The Air Nautique WWA Wakeboard National Championships, presented by ROCKSTAR serves as the final contest in the series before the "Chase for the Crown." The Chase tightens the points race in the series by adjusting the totals of the top 10 riders in the standings, following the fifth stop of the season.

Only the 10 riders involved in the Chase will have the three remaining stops in the series to top each other in the standings for the King of Wake crown.

"The Chase is kind of like our version of the playoffs," said defending King of Wake Aaron Rathy, who currently ranks 20th in the standings. "Nationals is going to be a high-stakes contest, with a lot of added pressure to step up our riding. Nobody wants to end their season early."

Currently, 16-year-old Aussie phenom Harley Clifford leads the King of Wake standings with 360 points. Two-time King of Wake crown-bearer Phillip Soven trails closely behind Clifford with 335 points, while former wakeboard world champion Rusty Malinoski rounds out the top three with 246 points.

While the top three point leaders are very likely to remain in the Chase even if they don't compete at the Air Nautique WWA Nationals, for everyone else this event will be their last chance to save their season.

For the Pro Women's division, the Air Nautique WWA Nationals serves as the third stop in the five-event Queen of Wake series. While the Queen of Wake does not use the Chase format, the Air Nautique WWA Nationals does mark the midway point in the season, when the top riders begin to break away from the rest of the competition.

Former crown-bearer Nicola Butler sits at the top of the standings with 190 points, while 2008 Rookie of the Year Raimi Merritt trails closely behind with 165 points. Current Queen of Wake and defending U.S. national champion Dallas Friday rounds out the top three in the standings, tied with Merritt at 165 points.

Unfortunately, Friday suffered a season-ending injury to her right knee during the second stop of the series and will be unable to continue to defend her crown. With Friday out for the season, the door has been opened for newcomers to step up to contend for the Queen of Wake title.

You can see Aaron Rathy is trailing far behind the lead in 20th, after a hard start to this season with injuries. Its gonna be hard to stop Harley Clifford from running away with the lead soon. The top 10 is pretty interesting with some riders who people would not of bet on pushing for top spots. Its only half way through the season so there is a lot more action to come this year.
