I was under the impression that global warming is causing all the snow to melt and that is the activity they are resorting to. Most resorts are trying to go "green" by using biodiesel in cats etc. but they are still very bad for the enviroment. However there are other options, "earn your turns" Vs. using a gas powered device being the only way to wakeboard/wakeskate, yes winches dont consume much fuel but there is no man powered way to go wakeboarding/skating. |

efff any of the sports mentioned above being bad for the enviroment, motocross and fmx take the cake, two strokes are horible, pumping burnt oil straight out, snowmobiles are two stroke too come to think of it, but im sure there way more motocrossing going. |

Culp, I agree, not to mention that most boats in general contribute to global warming, not just wakeboarding. Maybe the snowboarders should think about the massive cruise, cargo, and fishing ships and how much fuel they consume, as apposed to the small portion of people who wakeboard/wakeskate behind a boat. Good article for a magazine though, one sport dissing another, thats real professional. _________________ -Jordan Schwaller

Funny that ppl automatically thought it was dissing. It looks like they gave it an "if it comes down to it" kind of look, with elements of wakeboarding/skating brought in. And apparently they know how we roll in Canada! |

who cares about all the sports contributing. I'd say that accounts for about less than 1% of pollution. look at just cars on the roads, and factories, and everything else. |

i also go for snowboarding, wakeskating, surfing (a lot of travel) and i know the problems, i think also mr. thurman knows the problems therefore he said: Quote: | Try to recycle and not drive around so much. GO GREEN! | ,
the fault is to say wakeskating has no environmental problems because the enviromental problems in snowboarding are bigger or say all fun or action sports have this enviromental problem, who cares? _________________ hang loose or rock'n'roll
