Utah Water Sports took a break from X-Dance to put on a show at their pro shop last Saturday.  A bunch of the new Mastercraft boats were being showed off in their showroom while contestants rocked to their hearts content.

Spectators could check out the new boats and chat with Billy McKee about the new Mastercrafts and the great deals they had in the pre-boat show sale.

Winners of the Rock Band contest walked away with some great winnings, which included a Wake Surfboard, an Obrien Natural Wake Board and bindings and a Slingshot wake board and bindings.

Check out some of the pictures of the event!

Team Wake Utah recently had the opportunity to ride with Park City TV for a segment about ‘Wakeboard Tips’. With the help of local riders; Ward White, Phil Chadwick, Marc Glover, and WakeUtah’s own James Kleinschnitz, we were able to film three separate pieces. During this session we worked on the heel side wake jump, backside 180’s, and the heel side front flip (View videos below).

The Big Winners!

As usual, Wake in the Woods tuned out to be a great contest. It got a bit breezy a few times, noticed only by the spectators who had to chase their canopies down the hill and into the water. The water, however, was not affected too much. A little rippley, but not bad at all, the whole day. I even heard a few say that this was the best water for a comp all year. It was a pretty good sized run which was entirely viewable from the seating area. Wake in the Woods is always a good time. Thanks to all the riders, friends and family, The Glovester for towing up the boat, dudes on the mic, judges, drivers, and Tim along with all who helped set up for putting on an awesome event.

Last year many of you turned out to the premier of Transgression at X-Dance, the movie was a hit, a great wake boarding flick! And X-Dance was a great venue for the movie too, the action sports film festival that runs the same time as the Sundance Film Festival. The X-Dance theme gave us an idea, why now ask wakeutah.com if they would host a contest for short films and have our community vote on the best films, the film with the highest votes gets an automatic entry at X-Dance. Little did we know, WakeUtah.com would be in our hands a few months later. So here we are, we have been in contact with the guys at X-Dance and they have given us their support for the idea. Now it’s up to the WakeUtah.com community, There are some great videos on our videos section, now is your chance to step into the film director role and submit your best short film for your chance to be in X-Dance!!!

Once your video has been uploaded, the community can vote on their favorites and the one with the highest votes will be submitted to our contact at X-dance and will be a part of the film festival.

That’s it, get all your wake boarding friends, family and neighbors on wakeutah.com to vote and upload their best video too. Good luck, I have seen some great films in our videos section and I know some of these films will be awesome!

All videos must meet the submission requirements set by X-Dance, see www.x-dance.com for more details.

Get your cameras rolling and fine tune your editing skills for this great opportunity!!! Submissions must be in before mid October.

X-Dance is January 17-21, 2009 in Salt Lake City.

Sponsorship opportunities available! Please Contact Us
