Go support a local Northwest pro shop. BAKES Board & Ski has all the gear you’ll need for the wake season ahead.

BAKES has been an integral part of growing the Northwest wake scene by sponsoring some of the Northwest best riders including: Bret V, Brent Starr, Brandon Robins, Chris Craig, & Nick Jones. BAKES also supports and sponsors the Northwest Rider clinics and Sean Kilgus of BFY Productions which brought us wake videos - Running on Empty, Butter Effect, and last years Bent Felix.

Stop by and say hello to the shop crew that includes local riders Brandon Robins and Bret V.

Last year I got the call from Kilgus, “how would you like to go to Australia for the filming of Bent Felix?”. Without hesitation I obliged and started planning for a trip of a lifetime.

The trip was stacked with a top notch crew of riders from around the world. Joining the roster were JD Webb and Keith Lyman and from Australia Scotty Broome and Dean Smith. There would also be a few cameo appearances from Amber Wing.

Check out the video trailer for Bent Felix and a few teaser galleries from our trip to Australia.

The Butter Effect has been recut for Fuel TV. Have a look at the film from a new perspective with the feel of a documentary style riding feature. Northwesterners Sean Kilgus and Riley Poor did a great job editing the film for television. Catch The Butter Effect at various times this month.
