Ants Colling shot by Alex Bowater With day ones competitions over, most of the riders stuck around and rode the cable until they couldn’t hold on any longer, before retreating home to recover for day two. The morning kicked off with a good few phone calls asking ‘if the event was still going ahead’, the reason for this was the weather conditions which swept in that night, to keep it short it was raining.... alot! Josh-O, Air Ralley, by Alex Bowater The weather didn’t stop anything, the WakeTours VLX was on the water, the tents went up, the music was cranking and the riders started to arrive. Due to the pretty cold, miserable weather we revised the format so the riders only had to put their cold wet wetsuit on once! We opted to give the riders a long set, with more falls to get things moving. 4 passes, 3 falls - SIMPLE!
