Push-Ups For Taylor: Here's the concept

Okay, many of you will come to this site and laugh a little bit. Others will think I'm weird. And some of you might be right there with me. Well, here's what it's all about:

Taylor Knox is an American surfer on the Foster's ASP World Championship Tour. He's currently getting ready to start his 15th year on tour, and he only has 1 career win at that level. This site is an attempt to help him achieve success and win another event before he retires.

Now, I know that;
A) He's a very talented surfer and doesn't really need my help,
B) There are MANY of you out there who would love to see him win an event, and
C) Like many other people who are fans of Taylor Knox, it has become very frustrating to watch him year after year and not taste victory

So here is what I propose - PUSH-UPS FOR TAYLOR

All of you who are familiar with who he is know that he is extremely fit and athletic. Strongest surfer on tour. Best cutback in the business. Strong and powerful style.

So this goes right along with that theme - for each event, commit to a number of push-ups that you will do if Taylor Knox wins that event. For example, the opening event of 2008 is the Quiksilver Pro on the Gold Coast of Australia. If Taylor Knox wins that event, I personally will commit to performing 500 push-ups. You can commit to doing any number of push-ups that you want, but the goal is to do as many as you can should Taylor win an event. The count starts over again after Taylor is eliminated from an event, so you will need to re-commit before all 11 events.

It is my hope that this will help Taylor and the American contingent on the tour know that we have their backs and support them.

I will update with all the Taylor Knox updates I can and give a status update for the total push-up count. This is also a Taylor Knox fan site, so feel free to send in photos of you and Taylor and we'll post them up.

And away we go!
