Yep - and now all we need to do is find her a boat with footholds as a back-up in case we cannot get hers installed on her superjet during Finals....chick is racing Pro Women's class at Finals...most likely a ProAm men's class too - AND saqued up to "try" freeride in Pismo too. For sure she deserves major props.

Who's got an extra boat for stand by for LeeAnimal?
Who wants to volunteer thier assistance in installing those footholds in Havasu?
Who wants to ride with her on Thursday at Pismo before the event to work on the first ever backflip a chick has ever pulled off in competition?

She can ride my stripper ski. Stock 701 with a B-Pipe 247 footwells front footstrap if your goofy, tubbies, no trim but it does have a bad ass paint job.
We'll be there late tuesday night so she can ride it the day she gets into town until she goes home. Offered it to Pete, but Cuong already stepped up.
So it's available.

LeeAnimal could use a ski with straps. The ski she rode in Daytona had footholds, but she couldn't keep her feet in them.
If she had a way to keep her feet in the tray, she would have def pull it!
No one hucked it as big as her in the cherry popper contest! She really is an Animal!

The second Annual HYDRO-TURF Surf Slam is right around the corner...in just three short weeks, 30+ of the world's best freeriders will come from far and wide to compete in this stellar event in the Oceano Dunes near beautiful Pismo Beach, CA

60.jpg

There's some awesome stuff on tap in addition to the competition; The Fourth Annual Smashing Pismo Beach Party camp-out (on site AT the event venue), and of course, since the event is held in conjunction with the WORCS Motocross races, there will be some great handle bar to handle bar action going on as well. Not to mention the 1,500+ acres of the Oceano SRVA sand dunes to play in 24x7....and keep your evening free Saturday night - I can't tell you yet exactly what we have on tap, but stay tuned for an important and exciting announcement in the next few days. Suffice to say, if you were there last year and enjoyed your evening, then you should be very happy campers this year!

ALSO: Please be sure to swing by the HYDRO-TURF Surf Slam lounge located conveniently between the Blowsion Kustom Kolors booth and the HYDRO-TURF booth on the main vendor ally during the IJSBA World Finals this year. We'll have some comfy digs to kick back in, and ice cold beverages to sip while you take a load off and view some of the best freeride videos released to date - for free!

See you all soon!

Lisa, I was added last week and I have been doing some serious training on the water to prepare for this event with sicki.
My company will be setting up shop at the worcs pit row since I am a sponsor of the WORCS Series and will be bouncing back and forth between both events.
Is anyone competing in both the Worcs and surf slam this year?

LOL! Yo know, I don't know how I missed yo on the list earlier...to say I've been a little busy is an understatement...and preoccupied (mom's preparing to have a life threatening cranial tumor removed in the next few weeks)...sorry about that.

Then again, at least you know I was wondering where you were, right? Not sure who may be competing in both, though I know a few who are spectating/riding for fun who want to run the WORCS race too.

See you soon,

Alrighty - consider yourselves warned...The gang from NorthWest Freeride are going to be shooting at the HYDRO-TURF Surf Slam this year, and it's a feature flick FOR and ABOUT Joe Kenney. Alisha Gohring will be doing much of the interviewing honors, along with Daylite Ramsey and his crew...so all competitiors, as well as spectators, be prepared to give your input on your feelings about Joe, how he may have influenced you in freeriding, o rlife in general...relate any funny stories you may have (and we KNOW there are tons with Joe) and anything else you'd like to contribute.

My personal thanks to the Northwest Freeride gang for doing this...it's just another facet to this event which pays tribute to Joe and our sport. Awesome!

K - normally I don't share emails, but this one is very touching and I think captures the excitement and luv involved in this project for Joe...from Alisha Gorhring:

Lisa,

I love you! Let's go HUGE!! We would love for you to expose it as much as you can. I have made two consecutive trips up to ride and chill with the guys in the surf....and work on our project.

The name of the video is "4JK....a tribute to Joe Kenney". It is the three of us and I have one other person committed to filming. Daylite and I are planning on doing the interviews...subject to change of course. Dayton will be in charge of the other footage. We are making crew shirts - 2 day Productions on front...4JK on back. That way our "crew" is a crew. We have three professional cameras, tripods, and the works and two handy cams that we just want lots of footage on for the filler stuff.

I hardly sleep with out dreaming about this and dreaming about being in the surf. I am SO FREAKING STOKED you are on board to put the word out. With all my heart I want the success and heart-felt-passionate-loving impact that we can imagine. I am sure that you know our goal is to make this go HUGE and have the proceeds (above a few of our incurred costs being covered)to go to his recovery and health. I - personally - want to get as many doors open - ASAP. It is three weeks and we have a ton of ground to cover.

Warren (Baze) says that I sound so happy and excited I just might jump out of my skin! True that! I know it will be a lot of work, but it is so freaking worth it. We have been studying up on the documentaries that we love...and the ones that don't quite hit the bar to really get a mental picture of what we want to achieve.

Additionally, please send any of your suggestions our way. We may or may not be in the film...my preference is to be in the "behind the scenes" part for direct shots. I don't mind as long as I don't feel like the camera is staring at me. I am so camera shy....I think! We are not the important people here.....And it is NW Freeride / 2 Day Productions.

Did I already tell you I love you? Thank you SO SO much for your support! I have this ever growing passion about riding since taking on my part for this project and spending some time in the surf.....it is my coke (even though I have yet to ever do drugs!) I am hooked!

In our interviews, we would like to have a general theme that addresses: what does Joe mean to you, how did you meet (if you know him personally), what is your favorite / most memorable experience, what makes free style / riding so important to you, how has freestyle/riding/ Joe changed or influenced your life, etc. Please feel free to direct questions, comments, suggestions, contacts, etc. to me as well as the guys. We would also love donations of existing footage of Joe.....riding, chillin, anything that people want to give.

Thank you again! I totally agree that it needs to get out there. HUGS!! Alisha

And one more thing....(there's SO much, it's really cool)

In case I haven't mentioned it yet, Mike Jones, owner of AzHiAzIAm Clothing is not only volunteering his expertise to announce the event with Joe Gesicki, but he and his wife are designing a benefit shirt which 100% of the profits will go to Joe.

Just weeks before Joe was injured, he and Mike had a conversation about new t-shirt logos...Joe had suggested "Airing Is Caring"....this will be the theme for the new shirt.

Little did we know how much that would ring true in his life...so when they become available (hopefully in time for sale at the event, but for sure online afterwards) please consider purchasing one...the logo design and quality will be top notch.

My thanks to every single person who has pitched in and made the event what is it. Without the likes of Ronny McHenry (Logo Desing) Erik Hahr (website develpoment and Admin), Carol Anne Guistina (Official Event Promoter) The IFWA (giving Pismo Beach a shot and a three year deal for the final stop of the World Tour!) The Folks at NorthWest Freeride for their documentary, as well as a super cool custom painted handle pole which will be auctioned for Joe's benefit) The folks at WORCS for allowing us to conspire with them for THE event of the year on the central coast, our advanced ground crew (Jeff Troegner for staking out the HUEG area well need to make this event a go, and my parents who live local and are currently papering the counrtyside with posters for the event to promote it)...our amazing sponsors - HYDRO-TURF, Blowsion, Skat-Trak, Jet Connections, Hot Products, K-38 Rescue, Liquid Militia, and RonnyMac.Com....and so many others I cannot seem to remember right now - well, a HUGE THANK YOU.

You guys rock,

Lisa,

It is probably somewhere in this super long thread, but can you explain when and how the auction is working?

As well as the raffle. How does it work, where can we purchase tickets, when will numbers be called, and do we have to be present to receive our prize?
