'Relentless' Was There For The UK's First Pool Gap Project
June '06
Dialled in and nailing it. Dieter does skategod.
Honestly? When we think of Skegness we think more of 99 Flakes and donkey rides than we do hardcore action sports and a UK first on the wakeboarding scene. But then we'd never been to the Skegness X-Fest. A truck full of Relentless and a plan to power the kite, skate and wake community through the weekend we arrived at this seaside mecca in the early hours of Saturday morning. The kite crew were setting up their markers buoys, the skate dawgs were kicking back and spinnin' the decks, the boys from Wakeboard Alliance were....well these lads were putting together something very special. Say hello to the UK's first ever Pool Gap Project! In a car park in Skeggy!
The Alliance Team had their challenges, no doubt about it. Building the rig, filling the rig, holding the rig together, rebuilding the rig .... repeated as required! We're not sure the local scaffolding company had ever seen so much business nor the local fire brigade so much beach front action. But come mid afternoon, the team had nailed it. It was game on and the wakeboard posse that had come to play did not let the spectators down! We're sure you'll get the full low down from Alliance in the weeks ahead - for now rest assured that Craig McCulloch, Tim Woodhead, Chris Woodhead, Rob Moyle, Solid Jim, Jenna McAvoy and Dieter Humpsch ripped it up on the rigs 2 rails on offer. Mixing poetry and pain there's was a full on No Half Measures session!
When the crowds had dispersed and the boys had refuelled they came back for a sunset ride ... and it was phat! Look out for this killer footage on line and the Pool Gap making an appearance later this summer at Wakestock
