Legends on Extreme TV
HI all, AS some of you may have noticed Extreme TV are running a Extreme legends month,profileing top extreme sportsmen.Covering lots
of sports, i was pleased to see Bjorn Dunkerbeck listed as 1 of these men,i have voted for him through the Extreme TV web site &
would urge all the windsurfers on this site to do the same!!! Also Laird Hamilton is listed & he is a GOD,so i used my wifes e-mail
address to vote for him,as only 1 vote per e-mail address is allowed,so all the surfers on the site should also take a gander...i think
they are doing all the final results show on 22sept? Happy voting

I saw some of that on ther Extreme Sports channel last night.... Did relaise you could vote online though... I think my vote will have
to go for Laird as he really is a legend!!!
Bjorn is obviously a damn good windsurfer (and not a bad snowboarder or surfer either), but although he won the World Title more often
than Robby, my windsurf hero/legend still has to be Robby Naish. For some reason Bjorn just doesn't have that certain 'something' that
turns him from the best windsurfer in the world into a hero!
Just my thoughts, and I think Laird deserves the 'Extreme Sports Legend' title because he is just so good at everything he does, and he
really does push it to the extreme. He 's always pushing the limits, and innovating new 'things' to push the limits just that little
bit further... besides, that wave he rode at Teahupoo was just insane!!

Hi AL,, yeah know what you mean bout Robby,he is way more of a legend than Bjorn,but i wanted to show my support for Windsurfers,its
good that they acknolegded the sport. Thats why i used the wifes e-mail to vote for Laird(note i did call him a GOD before).My wife is
6 months pregnant & we were going to call him Laird,but its turned out to be a girl. Not long to the FON weekender now.
