The results are coming in hot from Pattaya, Thailand and the annual King’s Cup. The big news is of course, all of the American competitors who are coming home holding championship gold. And in this instance, Hydro-Turf’s favorite son, Mark Gomez shook off the rust and absolutely wowed audiences with a flawless Pro Freestyle routine.
Gomez wrote: “I have kept my head down working hard with my team to dial in my equipment and catch back up to speed over the last two days. Jet ski’s don’t seem to like traveling so far away without giving you some sort of grief. Besides that, it’s been over a month since I practiced flatwater freestyle to focus on the freeride championships in Japan. The competition field here is aggressive with some big stuff getting thrown down in the challenging rough water. I dug in and laid down the most clean and technical run as I could, incorporating variation, trick count and variety that earned the top spot!”
In the final moto, Gomez executed a flatwater routine that not only masterfully displayed moves that were Pro-level tricks in Freeride competitions only a couple of years ago, but also bested fellow Hydro-Turf athlete, Tanner Thomas who came in 4th to Gomez once the dust settled. To the victor goes the spoils (as well as a big fat check), so congrats to Mark! See him in action HERE:
