WWA Wake Park World Series - PPA - Toulouse
RESULTS FINALS + Prize giving ceremony + Video HIGHLIGHTS - 10.05.2008
Toulouse wakeboard video highlights - This is the last report from Toulouse, but not the least, cause when I came back home this week I will upload report with all photos from the France trip. Yeah, prize giving ceremony finished and we have winners of the WWA Wake Park World Series (PPA in Toulouse)... could you guess who they are, it wasn’t too hard, those who know about wakeboarding could almost easily guess who will be between top 8 riders. I have to say that Will Manns joined the top riders in really short time. He is 24 years old and in 2 years he has the top tricks which put himself in the top 8 and he didn’t finish his final run, he was hurt in semis, ancle hurt him a lot so he gave up, but only for this time ;) And yeah, Tom Richter got the chance to fight again against Sam Collins. Last year in T-mobile Playgrounds in Hamburg, he got him in his round. Who knows, maybe on the next competition, with few more tricks more... You never know... ;)

2008 Cablestock at Texas Ski Ranch
REPORT & PHOTOS - 10.05.2008
2008 Cablestock at Texas Ski Ranch - The 6th annual TSR Cablestock is now over and we can all take a minute to take a breather and reflect on the best TSR event ever. Things started to get hectic on April 15th when TSR received the winning design in Liquid Forces Design a rail contest. The dedicated team of cable operators then began construction of what is now known as "The Iceberg." Brett Hileman from Phoenix, AZ won the design contest with a double-sided banked wall ride with a center rainbow. Its been done at snow parks and just took Bretts inspiration to get us to build at TSR. The structure was finished Monday before Cablestock, just in time as Don Wallace and 6 of the LF team members (Shane, Collin, Henshaw, Tom Fooshee, Aaron Reed and Danny Hampson) were arriving and ready to session it. After being picked up in the LF RV and a helicopter ride at TSR, Brett and the LF team experienced a private night session that may have been the most fun in the entire weekend. Mad props to the LF guys and Bret for making this contest turn out better than anyone expected!

WWA Wake Park World Series - PPA - Toulouse
Starting list for the semi finals... RESULTS before semis - 10.05.2008
WWA Wake Park World Series - PPA - Results before semis - Last day ended with incredible night in tent on the site. The evening started with guitar here where some riders showed us how they can make good music ;) Marc Shuster, Raynald Tanny, Kevin Calvez... Everything was continued with a good rock music from a wakeboarding bend “The Bufallo’s” (Yann Pegaz is a drummer) And, yes, it was hard to wake up in the morning so some riders didn’t make it on time and were disqualified, unfortunately… During the first rounds, someone took Kinga’s “lucky” west from O’Neill 2007 (black, with gray O’Neill letters in front and red zipper behind) and I hope this won’t influent on her result… If someone took it by coincidence, please contact me via mail boardforce (at) boardforce.net, so we can be sure that she gets it back :( THANK YOU A LOT!!!

European Cable Wakeboard Championship 2007
Almere, Netherlands, 17.08.

After 22 hours trip we came far away from our country, to Netherlands, Almere, where European Championship will be held. Of course, every time when I bring my tent to sleep in, it has to rain, and like this was last two nights, but at least, we had some parts of the day where we could be without our unbrellas. One day we spent getting used to the camping place, with the nice bbq in German "area"... And the day after, after having some training sessions few of us went sightseeing of Amsterdam... bus, train and we were there in a too crowded, too coloured and too loud town... I imagined the town will be more silent, but maybe when you smoke one or two it became like this ;)

Nakon 22 sata putovanja, bili smo daleko od naše države, u Nizozemskoj, Almereu, gdje će se održati Europsko prvenstvo. Naravno, svaki put kada donesem svoj šator, mora padati kiša, kao i prošle dvije večeri, no barem smo preko dana imali neko vrijeme bez naših kišobrana. Jedan dan smo proveli navikavajući se na kamp sa odličnim roštiljem u njemačkom "području"... a dan iza, nakon par treninga neki od nas su otišli razgledati Amsterdam... autobus, vlak i bili smo u zgužvanom, šarenom i preglasnom gradu... zamišljala sam ga puno tišim, no kada popušiš jedan ili dva, vjerojatno postaje tako ;) - HISTORY Events
Prehrana sportaša
Žitarice, proteini, voda...što je na prvom mjestu?

Baviti se sportom kao hobijem zalog je za kvalitetniji i duži život, no vrhunski sport zahtijeva mnoga odricanja i često velike napore u pomicanju granice ljudskih mogućnosti. Stoga je segment prehrane u sportu u posljednjih nekoliko desetljeća postao nezaobilazan. - Clubs&Training
Trening i prehrana???
Kako se hraniti prije, za vrijeme i poslije treninga?

Svaki oblik tjelovježbe zahtijeva energiju koju tijelo dobiva i koristi u obliku kalorija. Količina kalorija potrebna za tjelesnu aktivnost ovisi o nekoliko čimbenika uključujući godine, spol, razinu tjelesne spremnosti te intezitet i trajanje aktivnosti. - Clubs&Training
