Oklahoma City, Okla. — Fans packed the shorelines of the Oklahoma River in Oklahoma City today to witness the final rounds of the 2008 Rockstar Energy Drink WWA Wakeboard World Championships, presented by Supra.

As expected, the defending world champ Phillip Soven, 19, of Longwood, Fla. reached the Pro Men’s division finals today and as the top-seeded rider. But the pressure of retaining his title got the best of Soven, as the Florida native posted a score of 82.00, landing him in third-place.
Taking the top spot in the six-man final and claiming the 2008 world title was Rusty Malinoski, 24, of Humboldt, Sask., who became the first Canadian rider to win the world title since Jeremy Kovak claimed it in 1997. Fellow Canadian rider Aaron Rathy of Nanaimo, B.C. finished the contest in second-place.

X Games skateboarder Jake Brown walked away from maybe the nastiest fall ever when he plummeted 40+ feet during the X Games Skateboard Big Air competition at the Staples Center in LA [video]. Jake didn’t come out completely unscathed though, the skateboarder did suffer from both a bleeding lung and liver. The hospital is reporting that Jake has stopped bleeding from his lung, but is still bleeding from his liver. Jake is expected to make a full recovery, but the hospital plans to keep him there until the bleeding in his liver stops.
