OTHER STUFF:

When Wakeboarding and Jetpilot came together back in the day (circa 1995), the team was Murray, Gator, Parks and his little 80 lb. kid brother named Shane... All we can say is, damn, times have changed. It's 2007 and Shane's the MAN. His style and approach in the water has helped shape the entire industry today. And that same style out of the water has shown the world what a Wakeboarder is and what the lifestyle is truly all about. Shane's been down with Jetpilot since the beginning. He's come from the little grom kid brother years ago, to the team leader of today. If you don't know Shane, you don't know Jetpilot, and if you don't know Jetpilot, you don't know Wakeboarding...
