- 2011 -

Hopes? I hope someone does an invert on a skate. So everyone can hate it. And I hope there are no more injuries in 2011, for anyone.

Dreams? Maldives, Nicaragua, and some offshore atlantic hurricanes

Expectations, Predictions, or Accusations? Expect to get a job and my daughter on the water. I predict an invert, despite everyone, and economic recovery (at least a bit.) I can only accuse myself.

SEAMAN, I've had a vision in my head for about 2 years of someone coming in heelside, doing fs shuv roll to revert thing.. ive tried it on a trampoline once or twice but couldn't keep the board with me. But i think going through the wake you could get the right angle to pop the board where it needs to go.

Hopes:
The byerly toe jam has a winch set up like Ben Horan's back yard or the Obscura contest so more than fs boardslides and fs 180s can happen. The level of rail riding and tricks down drops has gotten so crazy, but few contests let this be shown.
Companies coming into wakeskating like Vans and Rusty help promote the sport like DVS and Nike. They have the ability to show wakeskating to people who have never heard of it before, but might be interested in it. These skate and surf companies (and nike) are doing so much for wakeskating it seems. they are the sponsors that keep the pros riding and hopefully out of a day job. I have really come to respect Nike for what they have done in wakeskating.

Dreams:
I land a kickflip
A cable park opens up near Sacramento and/or in the San Francisco Bay Area

Expectations, Predictions, or Accusations?
More people will try wakeskating and will love it.
Andrew Pastura and Reed Hansen will dominate again

Hopes:

-Finish rebuilding my winch. Smaller Frame, better gearing, releasing spool and adding another 400ft of rope for the beach.
-Put a cheap tower on our inboard/outboard boat
-See some buddies get their lemonscraft up and running.
-road trip too wakenation and boarderpass (Sarnia, ontario's 2.0)
-build/hit more rails

Dreams:

-Trip to CWC
-land a kickflip

Expectations, Predictions, or Accusations?

-More than Machines DVD will drop and blow everyone's mind (sooo good)
-"Ride among us" will come out and blow everyones mind again

all i got for now...

hopes: more time on the water with my buddies

dreams: never ending progression (lots new tricks), travelling more and spreading the stoke

expectations: no expectations! they'll only ruin the ways you percive things!

predictions: way more young shredders throwing the most intense tricks, blowing our old peeps heads off!

accusations: nick, andrew, hansel and all the other bros that are constantly pushing the limits will be found out to be extraterrestrial beings from a planet called Aquatiar, from far far away!

I wish wakeskating would take off in a real way, like get massive like skateboarding did back in the dogtown days,

Here's what I think is holding it back,

Expensive enrty costs:

We should be more support for building your own winch. It was a sad day for the development of winch skating .com when the website shut down.

Supporting new riders and being welcoming

The sport being so hard, I wish it was easy for more people to actually do tricks.

I wish their were more companies like Nike 6.0 releasing sweet videos for free

Raven, wow, that is a great blast from the past. I was all about the joker but my dad bought me "wake board" instead.

That is totally doable. I got $20 for anyone who pulls that off.
