Just rolled in from a long and eventful weekend! I would like to thank everyone for their lasting support and encouragement. Id like to apologize now for anyone i may miss---

Id especially like to credit Patrick Bogart with X-Metal and Chucky at Team Scream, for building equiptment that has carried me throughout my freestyle career since the earliest of days. I am thankful for Pat's continuous training and mentoring that has helped me achieve above and beyond expectation. Bogey, your the man!

Nashville would not have been as easy to transport equipment without the help of Chic with Royal Flush, Jeff Lutker, and Kevin Green, thanks guys!

My sponsor AlphaTrade.com was very helpful all year in providing me the nessacary means to travel to competitions and national events, check them out at AlphaTrade.com!

Id also like to thank the following people for being influentual throughout the years (in no particular order), once again, sorry if I miss anyone!:

and you!


Finally, without the everlasting support of my parents, who have ridden with me long before I knew my path, I would not be anywhere close where I am today, and for them I am truly blessed and greatful.

Id also like to thank my girl Autumn, for putting up with me and my antics behind the scenes and keeping me focused. Ay bay bay!

I would quickly like to address my decision to ride a legal AmII class boat (which Chucky describes in an earlier post). For amateur freestyle, I not only wanted to raise the bar, but wanted to do something that no one has done before. This being the first flatwater backflip in amateur class. Id like to thank the calibur of riders competing, and cant wait to see everyone again next year! World Finals here we come!

Sincerely,
Michael Ratti
