CWB recently released episode one of their new CWB TV Series featuring footage of Andrew Adkison's ride with the Blue Angels last year. There's nothing totally new to report in the video, but it is nice to see some video footage of the flight.

Murray Gets Airborne With the Bonifay Brothers and Blue Angels

The winners of Parks Bonifay's 2007 Double or Nothing contest got a chance to test the limits of the human stomach when they were invited to go for a ride with the Blue Angels. Red Bull arranged the once in a lifetime ride for Parks, Shaun Murray and Shane Bonifay as an award for capturing various titles at the double up contest they sponsored. Between flight training that included learning how to breath to control the flow of blood through your body, and actual instruction on flying the Angels F/A-18, who wouldn't jump at an opportunity like this? At the end of their separate flights, the three riders were able to compare the G forces they experienced, and of course were pretty pumped about breaking the speed of sound.

"This was the most insane thing I have or will ever experience in my life. All I know is that I finally broke the speed of sound," exclaimed test pilot Parks Bonifay. "I hit 7.4 G's for 9 seconds before my eyes rolled in the back of my head and my body went limp."

After a morning of flying, Parks and his comrades returned the favor by taking their hosts out on Andrew Adkison's X-Star for an afternoon of riding. All we want to know is what did Andrew do to deserve getting stuck in the boat without a chance to go flying? Check out the full recap after the break courtesy of WakeWorld.

Trailer for Push Process, Oakley’s Incredible New Video

Jason — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 00:28:28 +0000

Like pretty much every one in the wakeboard industry, we thought Justin Stephen's film from last year, The Truth, was amazing. From the first time we saw the final cut we were asking ourselves "how can he possibly top this?" Enter Push Process, the new Oakley team video directed by, yep you guess it, Justin Stephens. This time Chase Heavener (that's a name from the past) also works his magic with incredible effects. Although all we've seen so far is the trailer, it looks like Justin has worked his magic yet again, and the result is a movie that appears as though it will surpass even The Truth in terms of cinematography excellence and mind blowing angles and slow motion action. It's also incredible to see to how much the sport has progressed in just the last year when compared to the riding in The Truth. We'll stop talking now so you can check out the trailer after the jump, enjoy!

Wakeboarding gets another shot at primetime on Fuel TV's Insane Cinema program throughout the month of April. Sure, it's not a major network, but anytime you can catch someone riding a wakeboard and it's not part of some cheesy commercial, that's a good thing for the sport.

So program your DVR if you haven't already seen this unique film from Sean Kilgus and if you have seen it, make sure you remind all of your buddies that haven't to check out Fuel TV this month.

Check out all of the details, along with a preview of the video after the jump.
