my mom was watching CNN tonight and at about 1130 (eastern) she came down stiars and told taht when CNN was covering the hurricane they a some video of wakeskaters (which they wrongly called wakeboarders) get pulled by some cars in the flooded streets. since CNN repeats everyting, they'll probably have it on again pretty soon.

next thing you know Dan Rather (sp?) is going to be demo the bi-levels.

I saw that too, but actually they were on a skimboard. The thing was very big/wide compared to a wakeskate.

Everything around here where I live is flooded from the hurricane, the conditions are so perfect for ditchboarding.
