I'm going away for the weekend, and when I get back I want to read this thread and be stoked.

What's your best/most stoked memory from wakeskating? Be descriptive.

I'll miss you

love,

`tnt

Mine would be when Nick, Pirate, JT, and Chad all came out and rode.. it was an epic day seeing Nick doing the reentry "270" flip.. even tho i never landed the 180 into the flats it still was an insane feeling knowing i was about to die... Nick, do you remember these from that day?

Getting up for the first time ever on my home made skate...and realising that skating is SO much better than wakeboarding. And also realising that I can actually make shizzle that works. Laughing

my favorite moment wakeskating is everytime i rode with grant and/or chris barcellos at the delta this summer. those guys are seriously the best most positive guys on earth. i learn so much from them and always have the best time. i miss sitting at rivers end and making fun of the retarded duck

I have two:

first one was when i landed my first kf at tsr at Cable Stock this past year with all my friends watching, i came back around again and stuck another, i was jumping with joy and my legs were shaking cus i was so happy Birthday

second one was when i was riding doubles with a really good friend of mine also know as Slapdown on here. I landed my first good combo with him behind boat, i asked what i should try: he said re-entry 3 shuv, i stuck it, and we high fived and laughed cus it was so much fun with someone right next to you, then he told me to try a re-entry kickflip and out of all situations, being happy as i was in the moment i stuck it and i just yelled in excitment because i knew that feeling with your bro next to ya and doing a line like that wont happen very often. Slapdown it was the perfect day and i want to thank you for inviting me Birthday

Mine is deffinately Wakeskating in Cancun last spring break. Me and my girl went out with Scott Smith from waterski Cancun and rode on the Cancun lagoon in chest deep water after not riding for 7 months. I rode decent considering that I was rusty and my girl was doing the best riding I've ever seen from her.

i also have 3, pretty much the same as SkateForce's, first was my first kickflip, it may have been sketchy but after trying them for 3 years it felt so good to ride away.

second was probly riding doubles with jono boysen. just like going out and shredding, trying kickflpis at the same time. calling out tricks to eachother.

and the best would have to be the whole summer riding at the boysens cottage with scott (and jono when he was around) just chillin, watchin videos then goin out on the boat and comin back and chillin in the hot tub after for like an hr. the best day from all of that was probly goin wakesurfin with scott, my brother corey and my friend john.

che blanc, the day we rode is tied for the top.
Since you know that story I'll tell the other.

The best would be when two friends and I went to the lake for a three-day weekend, and hit it hard everyday. One person would lounge or film on one jet ski while the other two would be driving and pulling on the other one. Three days of just getting into trouble and finding new spots/ stunts all over Watts Bar. It was the best time I've ever had with or without wakeskating.

first is probly landing my first kickflip i worked so hard for it and it finally came around one day.

then 2nd would have to be hitting my cousins pool gap in jax. Its so chill and relaxing and just brings together everything i love about wakeskating and makes me feel so grateful to be involved in this sport.

Ditchboarding at midnight, in the pouring down rain and cold, with one street light to light my entire run and sticking a front board shuv out. Love.

1. The day Oury already mentioned... Just wow. I know i enjoyed that day just as much if not more than he did. It was my first time riding with someone who knows what they're doing. He helped me out on everything, and riding doubles with him was the most fun i have ever had. Truly an amazing day, thanks for coming out Oury Cool

2. Don't know if this counts, but i just woke up from a dream Laughing

All i remember is i was messin around on my old k39 and i threw an INSANE in/out shuv off the start up roller.. It was either slow motion or just that damn huge. Haha it feels so real thinking about it Very Happy

Well let me take you back to the begining. We were looking at a jet boat with a tower in Delaware. Then we checked out their wakeshop and I got a new wakeboard. ....................Then I so clearly remember looking up on the wall and I saw a board with griptape(old cassette projector) and I did not wonder, somehow I already knew. I said to myself ...I need that. It was a feeling I'll never forget.

stompin my first bigspin. me and the guys went up to the KC park for a day. we had been riding all day and i kept getting closer and closer. eventually they all stopped and i was the only one riding. i fell right at the dock and said one more try. last try of the day, i came around the corner, relaxed, and popped that mother perfectly. didnt even have to shift my feet after the landing, it was zero sketch. i just yelled and threw the handle. and all of my best friends were watching the whole thing from the dock. it was the best feeling ever, after trying so hard and finally gettting it with everybody watching.

yea i know what you mean. spring break last year we went behind our boat with some people we knew and there was this hot, HOT, chick that came along with somebody. anyway, i totally impressed her (and got her number Cool

) and everyone else by land my first 3 shuv (i had only landed maybe 3 or 4 shuvs before it, it was dumb luck), i just kicked board as hard as i could and it was perfect. also landed my first raley on a wakeboard. best feeling ever to land a new trick, even better when everyone is watching.
