Jordan Sien's Blog

It’s been a while since my last blog and a while since I last had a wakeboard set but no need to worry life has been alright. I hurt my knee working on my competition run and have been out for a little over a week with an ACL and LCL strain and severe bruising on my Tibia. So unfortunately this week end was the Wake Games competition and the the start on the King of Wake series so I couldn’t ride but was still there to support my roomate and great friend Andy. These past two months of training with Dave have been full of pain, stress, and happiness all for wakeboarding. For myself and Andy these past couple weeks have been extra stressful because we have been worried about how our riding is compared to and how we would do in the Pro Junior Men category against others. Watching the Pro Junior Men today ride was a reasuring feeling for Andy and I, noticing that our tricks and passes can compete and hold up against most of the other riders. All of our training has paid off, seeing that we have the ability to ride with the up-coming pros in the business. It was also a good to be there all day to see how living life going through the Pro Tour really is, sitting around all day in the sun watching all the riding and than finally your category coming up for your time to ride. Giving props to the pros in the bizz who do this month after month week after week and still go out and ride their A game after a day of sitting and waiting around. So for all those who comment on your wakeboard lifestyle as something nice that sounds fun, you can now explain how being a pro really is hard work because all the hard work in the months of training can easily be lost in less than 30 seconds of a competition run. 2 falls and your whole day and week end gone.
