What is Wakeskating?

[Jonesie]

there are probably grammatical errors/some run-on sentences/some stuff that isn't in the right order to make sense...oo well, try and read through it all and get the meaning of this and not to just look for ways to bash it

constructive criticism is welcome


hope everyone enjoys it

peace

What is Wakeskating

[integrity640]

I <3 It

[liquid]

deep bor deep, i love it man
same with me every part of it

[Pete Caruso!]

that is amazing i never really thought about it but he is exactly right. all you people out there keep ridin and keep lovin it!

[wakemitch]

good job man

[Bad Luck]

thats tight.

i like that part about the "feeling", its good to see more people that understand what its about. one day in class i wrote down a list of reasons to ride, and the "feeling" is one of the reasons.

heres what i came up with:

Ride – because your body will let you, because you have the means to do so.

Ride – because there is always another rider out there that will drive you.

Ride – for the love of the water.

Ride – for the people we’ve lost, and for the people we’ve gained.

Ride – for progression, or just for the soul.

Ride – for the love of the board.

Ride – for the riders that inspired you, or to inspire other riders.

Ride – for yourself, ride in your own direction.

Ride – for the high, or just to escape from the low.

Ride – for that “feeling.”

Ride – with style.

Ride – because you have the privilege.

Ride – to live.

Jonesie, I totally experienced what you have described there, when I first started wakeskating this summer. I get something from wakeskating that nothing else can bring me.

It's the stoke, the time with friends, and the positive atmosphere that keeps me coming back for more, and for that i'm very grateful for being involved in this sport and community.

Thats rad dude. Im sure everyone here feels the same.
I almost cried.

[Nekkie]

Jonesie, very cool

well, I always have that weird look when I pass by my board during the day. It's a mix of love and frustration of not being riding at that precise moment, so that brings up an urge to ride it... it's weird

[wake_junkie]

Can't wait to ride today after reading that. Nice job.

[daniel]

[bigpimpinalberta]

probly the best written piece on how every wakeskater feels.
-lookin for lines in ponds
-staring @ skate
-eraser thing fushizz
-always laugh (i get the question everywhere i go) "Whats wakeskating?"
kool thing about it is that i explained it to this one chick who had no idea and when somebody asked she passed it on!
Peace
