You may remember the story we did a little while back — Titan introduces their innovative bimini – without pictures?.  We were pretty critical of their newest release.  Well, the boys at Titan came through and sent us some pics of their new “over-the-top” bimini.  Of course the Stallone movie poster wasn’t in the media packet they sent us, but when we’re talking about “Over The Top” I couldn’t resist.

Many of our questions seem answered when looking at the pics.  The build quality seems top-notch as we’d expect from Titan, and the different design doesn’t seem goofy-looking at all.  We remember Titan as being one of the first manufacturers to break the mold on wakeboard towers with a “different” innovative design several years back.  It is good to see they are still looking for ways to differentiate themselves from the rest of the pack, and try to create new-functionality that actually upgrades the product instead of just selling a gimmick.

OK, so if you haven’t seen the Stallone movie “Over The Top”, what are you waiting for?  Go and see it immediately (pure gold).  And if you haven’t seen Titan’s version of “over-the-top” peep the pictures below.

In the Pro Men’s Division, five riders battled it out on the water for the national title. Last year’s winner Rusty Malinoski looked to have a repeat performance in the finals, but Phillip Soven threw down a near perfect run, posting 98 points to take the top spot in the finals and ride away with his first-ever national title. Malinoski finished in second-place followed by Andrew Adkison in third.
