So I'm not too into the social networking thing, but I can't help but check the integrity facebook page during these exciting times (graphic unveilings, site launchings, blah blah blah).

Anyway, I just saw that one of my favorite old school bros has joined the integrity "veterans" Division. Give it up for leif erkkila! Watch "fill in the blanks" or try to find some old kampus wakeskate vids (or the butter book, for that matter) to see what's up. Leif is one of the first wakeskaters I ever started talking to when I was frequenting these sites (wb.com also), so I've got some fond memories of wakeskating's "days gone by" because of him.

And I think this veterans team idea is cool. Granted, wakeskating is really young, but I like the idea of appreciating past riders who've helped pave the way back when most people were wakeboarding or tubing or something. Skateboarding appreciates their founding fathers as well, so I dig this for sure.

Here, this is SUPER old: http://www.wakeskating.com/showarticle.php?id=4#

It looks like he's riding a cut down thruster. I think this footage is from 2002, at least.
