Best skate for W2W

Bakes5 · Faceplant Joined: 08 Sep 2006 Posts: 26

This is my first summer skating and want to make sure I am on the right track.

I'm basically looking for the best skate to do W2W stuff on. I'm more interested in height and spins than the kickflips, shuvits, etc.

Anyways, I have a hyperlite catalyst that I have been using. Is this the right skate for wake to wake stuff or should I be using something else.

Thanks

Bakes

i haven't rode as many boards as people on the forums, but the best W2W board i've ridden is the Cassette Bi-level...heavier boards seem to be easier to control in the air IMO...also, the omen looks pretty decent for W2W if you watch any of Danielo's videos

Seeing that grubb KILLS the w2w on that board , it cant be that bad of a stick.... but its whatever u want, noone can tell you whats right for you.

the hyperlites are the best w2w, that's a fact. they're made for it, they're pretty much wakeboards, and grubb goes w2w so much you know he's gonna make his board custom for that stuff.

breaking a bone normally does not lead to long term damage but blowing out a knee will haunt you for ever.

i would rather break a bone then destroy my muscles again.

if you break your femur in the right place you can hit a major blood vessle and you could bleed to death. i dont think many people know that but i just found it out pretty recently. moslty because its a common injury in motocross, more people actually break their femur while wearing knee braces, while trying to save their acl.

breaking your femur is the most painful thing in the world I had to visit a friend in the hospital that severly bruised his and he couldnt walk and was on constant pain meds just for that its no joke, and when he gets to cold snowboarding now his whole left leg starts to ache and he has to stop so its a pretty serious injury I dont think I want either
