That's it! How did the last thread only have 5 deleted pages, an this one has 6? The last one had way more technical an difficult discussions, this is an outrage! I clearly think whoever is editing these should be ashamed an fired. I'm never posting or looking in this thread again!lmao

EME News Release, 2011 World Finals.
There has been confusion concerning EME rider, Lee Stone, and his choice to not ride in Sundays World Finals competition.
Eric's Comments Follow,
I prepared for Havasu this year as I have for the past 15 years.
I built for Lee Stone an Aerial 8 ski with a 1200cc engine/pump combo that I tested and knew to exceed all others.
Lee made the decision (Contrary to my judgment) at Havasu on the Wednesday prior to competition to switch to a larger pump, once the pros and cons were discussed. Secondary to the altering of the product I knew to work, there were sleepless nights of experimenting and modifications to try to make the new setup work during the days, hours, and minutes before competing on Saturday.
After the competition on Saturday, the decision was made to switch back to the original setup that EME had brought to Havasu.
Lee made his own decision to not ride in Sunday's competition secondary to not enough time on the ski.
EME and Eric Malone did not make the decision to not participate in the competition.
Thanks, and looking forward to next year!!

I gonna call BS on that. I have competed with my ski running like crap, borrowed skiis when mine crapped out, even jumped on my SXR once.
If your going to go the trouble to go to Havasu, you are not going to not compete because a pump setup.
Riders of that caliber can hop from one ski to another and still do well.

So I am guessing Eric is not real happy about Lee's decision........lol
If I were Eric and was unhappy I would have rode the ski my self. (If I was Eric Malone and could win on a john boat).LOL

The way i read the Matt post, its not Malone but Stone who decided to not compete ??
That's Eric's side of the story, I'm sure Lee's is different and the truth is somewhere in between.
Keep in mind that was just EME's official stance. Who knows what really went on.
Lee has been heralded as the second coming in Freestyle champs - heck, he won last year! He certainly went big, got the superflip, etc.
Then he shows up at Havasu and sees the Japanese and Russian riders throw their insane combos. Maybe he lost a bit of nerve and thought he couldn't possibly win against that.
Edit: Oops, Darin beat me to it.
Edit: For an "official" company press release, there sure is a lot of finger pointing going on.
