Ben Horan - Wake
 |
Although Ben Horan’s professional status is in wakeskating, his roots are in skateboarding and that concrete influence is apparent in his smooth style and his technical tricks. Ben is known for skate-based tricks, kickflips, backside flips, frontside flips, and backlip and frontlips on the rails. Hailing from Nahunta, GA, Ben wowed the crowd in his winning run at the 2007 Byerly Toe Jam when he kickflipped his way to a win, even impressing fellow Nike 6.0 rider and judge Silas Thurman. “Ben came out and put together the best run anyone has ever seen at this park and possibly the best run ever done behind the Sea-Doo and on rails,” Silas said. “He even ended his run with a trick that I don’t think anyone has ever done.” A backside boardslide to kickflip out.
