GvR Wakeskate Jam

Personally I think the level of wakeskating this and the past year or two have really stepped it up and already new stuff has been thrown down. The amount of riders today is amazing and more unknows keep popping up not only in the US and Canada, but all over the world such as Australia, Asia, Europe, South Africa, New Zealand, and many more countries I cant spell that start with an S.

I do think that a new contest should be born, givin birth by riders who want to push each other and laugh at how much fun the sport we so cherish most can be. A Goofy vs. Regular Contest would be such of that and I believe it will one of the top contests around. Wakeskate only it brings a bunch of riders we dont see much together and putting them on two teams battling for the coveted prize their team so desires.

Who's in agreement?

SkateForce, Definitely. The GvR in skateboarding looks like a blast every year. What it seems to me is basically a bunch of riders chillin, having a good time. It also gives you that extra motive to pump up your friends. They're a part of your team and that kinda puts a fun aspect to competitions.

lake tarpon, skate can be alot of fun especially if your riding with someone better than you. I learned a new trick or two playing skate.

I love riding doubles.

Playing skate will really help your riding, especially if you're riding against/with someone better than you.

i know that, just with two people that is 2X the chance you will have to stop.

che blanc, Let's play skate Cool

But definitely, riding doubles is the sh¡t. The first day i rode doubles i landed one of my first shuvs, and improved my ollies by like 500%. Riding with someone better than you even if it's not doubles is a great thing Very Happy

Well, you are coming down for toe jam right? I'll probably see you there if i go... It's kind of a 50/50 right now on whether or not i'll be there, but none the less... you're welcome to come ride with me anytime (as is anyone else coming down to central tx anytime) Cool
