Teleprompted Anthems just sent over the latest teaser for their new project; looks like things are shaping up nicely. More details on the movie should be coming soon, but until then, be sure to keep checking www.telepromptedanthems.com for updates, videos, and all kinds of other internet goodness.
(Merced, CA) - Every year Fox Racing rewards their motocross team with a group vacation for a job well done. This year the Fox Wake Team took it upon themselves to show the MX Team some love. Fox MX Team Riders Brett Metcalfe, Jeff Emig, Ricky Carmichael, Ivan Tedesco, Daniel Reardon and Trey Canard met Todd Hicks, the Fox Brothers, Shaun Murray and Chris Bischoff in Lake Shasta, California for a weekend of wakeboarding and wakesurfing behind a Malibu Boats Wakesetter VLX.
Todd Hicks, Fox Wake Team Manager, explained the tradition of the team trip and the motivation for this year's outing. "We have visited Hawaii a couple of times with the athletes. MX Team has enjoyed surfing with the world's best surfers, so this year we wanted to give back from our wake team side. Our Fox Team managers wanted to let the MX crew enjoy some wakeboarding."
Hicks put the call into Malibu Boats requesting the big wakes of the Wakesetter VLX. That's why he had the chore of boat pick-up, but he was excited to do it. Even more excited once he saw the boat. "I went ahead and picked it up from the factory on our way to Shasta. My mouth dropped as I approached the Malibu Factory. There was the sickest looking boat sitting out front of the place. I thought there was no way that was the boat we were going to use. Sure enough, I was told this was our boat." Hicks added, "I about passed out!"
Even on a fun, relaxing weekend after a grueling year of supercross and outdoor motocross, the Fox MX Riders couldn't fight their need for more competition. They went head-to-head behind the Wakesetter VLX trying to one-up each other with wakeboard moves. So Bisch and Murray acted as judges in this impromptu wakeboard competition. Bisch said, "They got so into it!"
The Fox MX Team received VIP treatment at Lake Shasta for their reward trip. Fox provided the Malibu Boats 2009 Wakesetter VLX as well as all the gear the guys needed to wakeboard and wakesurf. They stayed in a four level houseboat fully stocked for the trip and by every account a good time was had by all.
To check out the Wakesetter VLX, the same wakeboard boat the Fox MX Team rode behind, visit your nearest Malibu Boats Dealer. Or take a cyber trip the Malibu Boats Family of web sites.
The world Cup Series is taking place in china this weekend and as the weekend draws closer wakeboarders are jumping on planes heading to china. At least 10-20 pro wakeboarders will be attending the world games in china this weekend. With a showing of every country involved in water sports it should be a great weekend to showcase the sport. The long flight to china is not too pleasant for some already I've heard. Facebook is supposably banned from china and most wakeboarders are facebook fanatics. So this week facebook will be short 10-20 people and my updates page will probably be stuck.
Among the 10-20 riders going to china is Andrew Adkison, Aaron Rathy, Kyle Rattary, Austin Hair and more. There even some women heading out to represent america. If this weekend is anything like the past America should have no problem bringing home the win. Its no secret that the best wakeboarders come out of America. Having the wakeboarder of the year and phoneme Aaron Rathy riding I am sure hell be a tough contender. Any news and results Ill be to sure to keep you all in the loop.
Check out one of the hottest wakeboarders on the scene right. No one is going bigger and landing more new tricks right now then Rathy. With a huge 2009 year for Rathy I can only imagine how crazy 2010 is going to be.

Above is the new Reflex for 2010. Said to be the most progressive cable/ rail riding board on the market. The new FRT construction makes this board indestructible. Whether your sliding the sketchy rail in your buddies back yard or jibbing the concrete ledge of a spillway downtown, never again worry about catching or blowing out the edges of your board.
Above is the new Response for 2010. This is what slingshot has to say about it. Designed with rider versatility in mind, the response offers several advantages for individual riding styles. The continuous rocker line gives you the speed needed to carve hard against the wake and to boost big into the flats.
There are 3 more boards in the 2010 line up for this up coming season and some new boots also. So run over to www.slingshotsports.com and check it out. Check out their team riders, videos, and more. Maybe buy a board who knows.
When your in vegas you gotta collect them all. The hooker/stripper cards that is. On every corner they hand out these little baseball cards covered in naked women and slogans like "40 dollars to your hotel room in 10mins"!
What you cant see here is that Ryan Doyle actually had like 300 of these cards and was asking the little guy for more. It was quite the show down for who could get the most.
I know you've heard of the beds with mirrors above them right. Well at this casino there was a mirror on the ceiling and what better to do then take a picture of us looking up.
Woopi Golberg usually doesn't pose for pictures but when Ben Horan asked nicely she couldn't deny us.
Nick Taylor actually wanted to know what he would look like with a dread mustache.
There are so many stars in vegas its crazy. Here we found the rock and convinced him to take a picture with ben's mistake from the night before. Yes thats a lower back tattoo.
Nick was worried about this guy and wondered why he was so blue. The guy never responded and just kept banging away on his trash can.
After a long day of walking around the city and checking everything we flew out. The long flight home was not as fun I was hoping but making it back to orlando was much needed. If your ever in vegas make sure u check out all the crazy stuff. Vegas really is the city that never sleeps.
