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

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 weve lost, and for the people weve 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. _________________ - Bret Little

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. _________________ Get ya' hair did. |

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 _________________

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
