Unlike the gambling for most of us here in Reno, the riding was on fire today. We’re here for the last stop of the MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour and Sparks Marina has the perfect setup for the riders with a small, calm, private lake allowing each rider to throw down their best end of season passes. Since it’s the last stop of the PWT, the pressure is on as each rider tries to improve their rank before the finals on Sunday. With the increase in elevation also comes the increase in wake size behind the MasterCraft X-Star, which everyone is pumped on.

The Junior Pro Men kicked it off this morning. Should be a fun weekend with Mitch Langfield and Bob Soven as top contenders for the first place finish. The Pro Men followed up the Juniors this afternoon and were given a mandatory practice ride today to allow them to adjust to the wake and be in position to throw down tomorrow. Check out all the steeze they brought today in the photo gallery.

As for tonight, we’re headed to do some sand dune 4x4 in the hills tonight and then hoping our luck changes at the Nugget casino. Stay tuned tomorrow for results of the Junior Pro Men, Pro Women, and Pro Men as well as the results of tonight’s wagering.

JD Webb is always stylish in competition. Here, he pulls a stalefish batwing.
