Originally from Ullapool, Scotland, and now based in Orland, Florida, 20-year-old Adam Errington lit a fire under the worldwide wakeboarding scene this year. A fierce personality matched with precision riding skills, Adam bashed competitive boundaries with his consistent, technical and aggressive riding, taking a top-five place in all of the King of Wake events this year, and scoring the 2007 Rookie of the Year title. Look out for Adam as he finishes the ‘08 contest season, and blazes through the New Year into a collaborative video project for ‘09.

“is one of the best all around wakeboarders I’ve seen in a long time. He’s good at every aspect of riding, from free riding for the mags and films, to consistently placing top five in the pro series this year. I’m very excited to see what he brings to the team in the years to come.”
–Silas Thurman, Wake Mentor

Adam joins Nike 6.0 wake team members Nick Taylor, Matt Manzari, Eddie Valdez, Steel Lafferty and Ben Horan.

Nike 6.0 Wake Nick Taylor

What’s the difference between Nick Taylor and the rest of the wakeskating world? Only Nick can call himself the 2008 Wakeskater of the Year.

Nick received the award at the fifth annual Wake Awards, which were voted upon by a panel of wake industry heavyweights. Nick was honored by the wake community for his continual pursuit of game-changing innovation.

Another guy who’s innovative to the fullest is 6.0 wake photog, Josh Letchworth, who earned Photographer of the Year at the awards ceremony.

Well done guys and we look forward to seeing what you get up to in 2009.

Nike 6.0 Wake Cush and Nike 6.0 Wake Mogan Mid Coming Soon…..

September Nike 6.0 has arrived. This month we’re bringing you a couple versatile options to take you from the action to the streets. Perfect for heading back to school or heading back to being cool.

Nike 6.0 Air Zoom Cush Shoes – Boulder StoneThe 6.0 athletes are ADD, impromptu, shred-loving fiends twenty-four/seven. Being spontaneous means being ready at a moment’s notice. As demanded by the 6.0 athletes, the Cush is built for serious performance, with a “less is more” approach. They took out all the bulk and over-techy features to focus on the basics.

Nike 6.0 Air Insurgent Shoes – Midnight Fog/Ozone

Inspired by clean lines and any terrain from the water to the streets, the Air Insurgent will keep you looking hot in the fall’s cooling air. Spencer approved for skate, snowshoe, and bmx. Features include:: durable TPU overlays and hidden lacing system, grippy plus/minus tread with cushioning pods, and excellent heel impact absorption.

You’ve probably seen it gracing the pages of Alliance and Wakeboarding Mag this month and asked yourself what in tarnation is that thing? It’s the Wake Wall and it’s the latest and greatest innovation to come out of the NiKE 6.0 think tank.

“The Wall build was an idea myself and Josh Letchworth came up with to add a different look to our sport,” explains 6.0 wake mentor Silas Thurman. “We wanted something different and new. Greg Necrason came over and built the Wall for us in Josh’s backyard. The idea was to have a studio-style shot. We didn’t want anyone to recognize the area and have a spot that every kid would want to hit.”

What they created was a secret spot that worked perfectly as a stage to highlight some of wake’s most revolutionary riders doing their thing for the world to see. “It was one of those ideas that you talk about and usually goes nowhere,” says Thurman, “but this one did and actually worked out exactly how we had talked about.” Read more…

From the very beginning of action sports, punk music has always been blasting out the speakers. As the two have grown up together, they’ve only gotten closer. And now, Nike 6.0 Sneakers is taking it one step further by hooking up with punk icons, Alkaline Trio.

The Heart and Sole Air Nike 6.0 Cush is the love-child of Alkaline Trio’s irrepressible creativity and Nike 6.0’s relentless pursuit of innovation.

“We chose red and black as the main colors to reflect our Chicago roots and pay homage to the Bulls. We are huge fans,” said Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio. “I’m also into sneakers, so seeing the Swoosh and our logo on one product is unbelievable. The shoe looks amazing and provides some insight into who we are.”

The Heart and Sole Nike 6.0 Air Cush and a limited run of messenger bags will be released June 27th exclusively at Jacks Retail Shop in Huntington Beach. Alkaline Trio recently kicked off their summer tour in support of their new album “Agony and Irony” and the release of the shoe. The Nike 6.0 Heart and Sole Air Zoom Cush will be available at select retailers nationwide on July 11th. (Editors Note: Same day as the IPhone 3G will be released.)

The shoe pops with custom reflective details and bike-tread inspired graphics, which symbolize the band’s early days in Chicago where they worked as bike messengers. The Heart and Sole Cush is also constructed of all synthetics, which was of utmost importance to the vegetarian members of the band.

When the Heart and Sole Air Zoom Cush drops, the Alkaline Trio will be in the midst of a summer headlining tour in support of their highly anticipated new album “Agony & Irony,” in stores July 1st. Check out Alkaline Trio’s MySpace page for the entire tour schedule.

For sick punk rock steez, do yourself a favor and put a little Heart and Sole in your wardrobe.
