With rain at Lake of the Ozarks in the morning there was worry that BROstock 2015 wouldn’t get off to a good start, but Mother Nature decided to play nice and bless the double up hitters and the raging partiers with some sunshine. The first round of riding went off without a hitch as all 16 riders launched off the double ups served up by the one-and-only Gregg Necrason behind the signature BROstock edition Axis A24.

As the party raged in the flotilla from the over 100 boats in attendance, all the riders tried to put down their best tricks in order to make it to the semifinals on Saturday. Highlights from the day included Shane’s toeside tail grab back 5, Dean’s indy KGB, Langley’s huge air, and Randall’s signature nose grab half cab front way into the flats. With Silas Thurman and Kevin Henshaw as the official judges all the riders knew they had to be on point with their tricks in order to make it to the next round of riding.

The contest wrapped up just in time, as minutes after the last rider finished the skies opened up and it started raining. That just meant the party at Captain Ron’s got off to an earlier start, which around these parts is never really a bad thing. Be sure to join the fun tomorrow, either with us out on Lake of the BROzarks or via live stream at www.brostock.com. It is guaranteed to be both a good time with some of the best riding in the world.
