X Games To Double Number Of Events In 2013

Beginning in 2013 the X Games, the world's largest action sports competition, will expand from three annual events to six, ESPN announced Tuesday, with four of the events to be held outside the U.S. as organizers seek a stronger global foothold for the franchise, now in its 17th year.  

Currently, X Games events are held in Los Angeles during the summer and in Aspen, Colo., and Tignes, France, during the winter. Under the new plan, called Global X, four events will be held outside the U.S. ESPN will hold a competitive bidding process beginning in 2012 to select the three new locations, which will be signed to three-year agreements and work with ESPN to stage the events.

Wake the Line

Sunshine, Water, smiling and grooving people -- this is summertime in one of the biggest swimming pools in Cologne. But this time the people didn't come to swim but rather to watch the world best wakeskaters and wakeboarders ripping on the obstacle course.

The New Liquid Force boards are so SWEET!!

The new Deluxe Hybrid combines the flex and response of our hybrid technology with tested and proven hull features to give you a board that performs great at the rail parks AND behind the boat. Working with our rail dominator Kevin Henshaw, a new shape was created that features a thin flexible profile with plenty of bottom concaves/channels to give that extra control needed to hold an edge up the wake. With everything exiting out a deep tip concave, the Deluxe thrusts out of turns and boosts off wakes. Finishing off with our super durable GRIND base, this shape will handle anything you can dish out on rails, kickers and obstacles. If you're looking for lively hybrid flex with all-around responsive hold, the Deluxe is your new ride.

• Hybrid Technology - Have it all. A proven, performance hull shape and the great flex properties of our hybrid construction brings you a board that launches wake-to-wake and delivers the goods for your park experience.
• Lf Exclusive Grind Base - The ultimate in durability from our sintered base material while maintaining the hull shape.
• Aggressive, Three-Stage Rocker - For a straight up pop behind the boat and catch-free transitions in the parks, this rocker style works great in both worlds.
• Center Concave with Edge Channels - Concave softens landing and maintains speed while edge channels increase control and hold.
• Liquid Rail Sidewall - Our elastomeric edges give you a rail with unsurpassed durability. The liquid rail will keep your ride together for session after session.
• CNC-Milled Wood/PU Composite Core - Triple stringers give you ample tip flex with central control; all computer-milled with the perfect hull shape.
• Triax Glass Layup - Our special weave provides torsional control while delivering the proper spring and snappy flex.

We got lots of sizes in stock at www.grizzlysport.com
