thatwasrad, hell yeah that shizzle is taking off,
I'm glad they were showing videos of them taking it to the high mountains, this sport is progressing so much,
I like the wire leasg connected to the chest, a lot more people have been doing this,
also this rate this sport is progressing, is somewhat comparable wakeskating, under a generally more popular sport, but i wouldnt be suprised to one day
see someone do a tre-flip down a 80ft cliff,
these could be the biggest tre-flips in mankind _________________ I heart wakeskating. one day we will reunite for a daily morning glass sesh,,, one day..... |

Wow!
I used to think this was pretty lame but this is a whole new outlook. Sick edit and some really steezy shizzle. I can't wait to see it progress over the next few years.
I wonder if the Bi-level thing will fade away over time with a bunch of broken top decks. _________________ The promise of heaven out of reach.

Probably worse, up until a couple years ago wakeskating did look lame to people who didn't do it (Im sure it still does to most) Skateboarding was lame to most for a LONG time, and really it wasn't until 'the 900" that things really changed
But you know what? Who gives a flying f()k, it's just a side show and always will be....
"Action sports" have run its course and Wake will have to survive on limited growth for awhile, this country is in no shape for the expense of boating and the like, winching is awesome, but wont attract many newcomers. A board and a winch are still quite an expense.
I saw this video on facebook a couple weeks ago and I'm impressed with the level of riding, glad to see it step outside of the small parks |

RUSSIAN, hell yeah man I agree of course wakeskating looks stupid to people who don't skate or are arrogant strappers, but for the most part people who wakeboard give mad respect to wakeskaters, besides we're the ones doing something new and never seen before, but everyday more and more skaters at the cable park, wont be soon to full takeover
SLWK, what the fvck does that mean, are you saying snowskating looks gay, hey if your not comfortable enough with your sexuality to wear a leash thats on you
snowskating is fun, its just something about the comfort of not having to bind in your boots before every run, makes hitting a rail feel so much cleaner too, IMO _________________ I heart wakeskating. one day we will reunite for a daily morning glass sesh,,, one day..... |

texasT, Exactly man, I wish in one way the teaser had more flip tricks in it, like just a line similar to a skate line crusing down the slope, like a shuv, bigspin, k flip , rail, line or something,
- in one way I agree why people might see snowskating as pointless because you simply just cant go as big , like off jumps, compared to skateboarding, thats why there needs to be more flip tricks n shizzle _________________ I heart wakeskating. one day we will reunite for a daily morning glass sesh,,, one day..... |

even in skateboarding i dont look for people skating ramps and shizzle. i always like street or a nice skate park with technical obstacles. i think that instead of trying to spread these sports to audiences who could care less, companies and skaters need to do it for people like them. i could care less if people think it's ghay or whatever, they're just douchers anyhow _________________ You had me at meat tornado. -Ron Swanson |

texasT, truth. they need to advertise it to the skate community if their ever going to get anywere, b/c skaters are essentially the ones backing it, _________________ I heart wakeskating. one day we will reunite for a daily morning glass sesh,,, one day..... |

That was hysterical, but still looked like they were having a lot of fun. I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not in saying wakeboarding is as cool as wakeboarding. Because snowboarding is way way way above wakeboarding any day. |
