aaaaaaaaaaaaactually that first pic is of a TRI-level, so yeah, thomas would be the first to create a bi-level wakeskate...

Paul,

every good idea (nuclear bomb, computers, beer etc.) is german Smile

we also had a bi-level in the zweite weltkrieg (see pict). maybe history will tell us that bi-level didn't work - england is still a separate country - the follow up (vergeltungswaffe 2 - what a cool word - could be a name for a new skate: cassette - thomas horrells vergeltungswaffe 2) was a flat thing...

were nukes and computers really german inventions? im not hatin, just honestly curious...proof for either side would be nice.

and...uhh...anything that flys that has a gas tank can be a "flying bomb."

scott a,

computers: remember konrad zuse - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z3_computer

nukes: ever heard about the german pros otto hahn, fritz straßmann and lise meitner? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_fission

ok - the bomb itself was developed by oppenheimer - but without discovery of nuclear fission and the help of all the german immigrants you guys won't be wakeskating today... Twisted Evil

shizzle man, you know some serious stuff vangimple, impressive Exclamation

Rob, the reason is: i'm 38 years old and i started wakeskating only this year - so i had the time to learn a lot in school and university Wink

Uber ---> roughly translated to super

Alles---> roughly translated to friends (allies)

el,

i guess we had that in another topic. that one comes from "deutschland deutschland über alles" - which means something like "germany over all" - which means: "piss off" Laughing

but when i was young - a long time ago - the dead kennedys had that one too - "california ueeeber alles...".

hey - didn't i told you that i've seen the kennedys, sex pistols and sham69 live in those days? Wink

Paul, don't care about me - i'm far beyond it - as an old guy i have to bear my burden with all this young fellows Smile

Paul, if you are visiting Germany make sure to stop in Duisburg-Wedau Smile

I guess Duisburg-Wedau is the heart of wakeskating in Germany Smile

We have a great obstacle-park with - believe it or not - World's longest rail (i guess they mean: World's longest Cable-rail...) and the Slop - a nice toy for skating. And we do have a very good wakeskating-crew called Romboso (http://www.romboso.com - they have some very good riders like Denis Knasiak who is European Champion and riding for LF.

Just drop me a PM if you are visiting the skate-third-world...

BTW: what's the Slop?
