Hey all,

What wakeskate format would you like to ride in and or watch?
We will be having grassroots and pro events next year. Hope they will be at the same event Like a Pro and an Open division.

I would like to see a similar format to the wakeskate worlds. I think there should be some type of age divison, so that a 14 yr like me isn't competing against some 20 something yr old pro wakeskater. I would also like to see the comps done behind a sea doo b/c it makes the tricks more skate-like (similar to sk8boarding on cement).

How about 2 runs, one behind a boat for wake tricks and the other behind the sea doo. More wakeskate oriented rails, at least one or two.

no more seeding; i know they might be pros but they need to qualify too, more people can enter, dont have a certain amount of people can enter. more rails, funbox, have like a barrel out there, a single pipe rail like something drew muguckin hits on beg borrow and steal. it looks like this...../ \ something l'ike that.

Do not do the seeded riders thing like they do for the pro tour. I think that is lame b/c it just makes it harder for the riders who actually have to qualify for finals to get that far. EVERY rider should have just as much as a chance to qualify as the next.

Definately more obstacles, preferrably ones that you have to ollie/shove-it/spin over.

some picnic tables or like an S rail. rails on both sides of the run, not just one side

have it behind a boat with a small enough wake that you can do inside out tricks good and lip tricks good but can also do wake to wake stuff. that way there can be more tricks that are possiable, suck as wake to wake spins wake to wake kickflips and many more stuff im sure. and dont do ages do ability levle. much more fair i think. and a better judging system then the pro tour would be nice. and have it more so if a rider has a conplaint about there score they will actualy say something becuase if i have a conplaint on the pro tour i just let it go becuase i dont think that anything will happen if i do conplain.

picnic tables would be sweet, like 3 in a row, solid rails, some low ones, some with transition, stuff to ollie over, like the fence thats in snap, that would be sweet

Keep the comp behind a boat with a large wake, there is no advantage to using the seadoos, it only limits what you can do given there is no wake. Everyone talks about wakeskating being about endless possibilites, making it only behind a seadoo would only hinder what could be done in a competition.

i would like you to stop in missouri....

if not, i would like to have a complete video tape of the entire competion...(do you already have those?)

i could care less to watch a 2 second highlight of the finals on a sports network. it does me no good.

have different categories with trick limits like wakeboarding- have beginners with no board or body varials- (shuvits and stuff) and intermediate with 180 shuvs and body varials then have advanced with anything goes, also have good rails- flatbars, straight pipe launch, kicker, low box, maybe a jon boat and cool stuff like that- make it interesting for the crowd and the rider- also use sea doos- its keeps it more a skate style sport rather than mostly wake2wake wakeboard tricks

thatd be too hard to defy the tricks

have better rails and a big wake boat like a malibu

not a big wake. just a wake. no added weight

I think you need diffrent age divisions and definently behind a wakeboard boat!

greg van wagnen · Posted: Oct 11, 2003 12:08 pm Post subject:

no huge wake. something small enough to do good lip and inside out stuff but also big enough for wake to wake
