Saturday Night I went downtown to Seville with Matt & Amber to the the Wake Boarding Demo Parks was doing for Red Bull. Parks is a 3rd cousin , he started skiing at 6mos old and could balance himself in one of his Dad's hands. He grew up at the Cypress Gardens Park, and skiied in the water shows as a kid. He went on to become a Professional Wakeboarder and has won numerous XGames, earning him endorsements along the way. He is currently designing his own boards.
The event was fun and the set up was really cool. There was a wench at one end of the pool that pulled the guys over the ramps that were set up on buses and vans at different levels and they landed in the large pool. Too bad Matt didn't get that board you see him holding, he was so close! (maybe next time!) I looked up Parks on You Tube and found a Mastercraft commercial and another clip....Take a look.
And, Here is the Wikipedia definition for Parks:
Parks Bonifay NickNames: P DIDDY and PB was born in Winter Haven, FL USA on September 30, 1981. Bonifay is Considered the world's greatest wakeboard freerider.
His present Hometown is Lake Alfred, FL. He became a Pro Wakeboarder in 1994. Parks took the wakeboarding world by storm as a 14-year-old, winning the X Games in his first visit. He has held many major titles including the PWT titles in 1999 and 2001. When his dad put him on skis at 6 mo. old, he became according to Guinness book of world records the youngest water skier in the world.
