2011 World Finals Pics - AM Freestyle World Champion

Hey guys, here's a few photos I've found from people posting on Facebook. Winning a World Title for Freestyle has easily got to be the best moment of my life, so I've been trying to save all the photos I can of my 5th year of competing at World Finals. I also found out that I was the first American to win AM Freestyle at world finals since Josh Lustic in 1999. At 18 years old, I am the 2nd youngest winner of AM freestyle (behind Lee Stone - 15?), and was the youngest competitor in Pro Freestyle.

I'd really like to thank everyone for their support and kind words, as well as my sponsors: The Ski Clinic, The BOB Hull, DK1Designs, MotoOption Clothing, Full Spectrum, Hydro-Turf, D&H Enterprises, M&M Marine, Optima Racing, and especially my mechanic and my trainer - my dad. He got me to practice almost every day for 2 months prior to Havasu, and managed to get all the parts and rebuild my motor when it blew up just 5 days before we were leaving. I definitely would not be where I am today if it weren't for him.

Photos courtesy of 'Typhoon' Tommy, Brian Bowen and my mom.

We found it a little ironic how I managed to win a world title on a backflip hull and only pulling off 1 flip, haha.

Thanks guys!

I finally finished my 2011 World Finals video. The video has my AM Freestyle routine, AM Freestyle announcement, Pro Freestyle Qualifying routine and my Pro Freestyle routine.
