Aaron Reed will put out another mind blowing ledge part.
Aphid Wakeskates are so core skateboarders start buying them, only to realize they don't know what wakeskating is.
Jim Letherman's "Broken Homme" brand starts sponsoring wakeskaters, Kyle Walton is the first to land a kick flip in huge leather boots. Everyone buys a pair.
VHS wakeskate edits.
Byerly/Hyperlite fail to add any young relevant riders to their team. They don't seem to notice the problem.
Brandon Thomas quits wakeskating to DJ full time. Within one year nobody seems to remember who he was.
Thomas Horrell comes out of obscur(a)ty and films a part for Obscura, Broken Homme, and some bike shop nobody knows about. Wakeskating.com breaks and shuts down due to the excitement.
esnow starts writing column in WSM titled "Remember When". It is well received.
That's all I can see into 2014. Add any others? |

The WakeSkate Tour gets more coverage through some media outlets. (I'm not saying it doesnt get coverage right now, just saying it's promoted more outside the world of wakeskating and its presented to new faces)
The Wakebabes release the first full length all female wakeskate video.
More van trips from teams. This seems to be a trend and I like it, maybe some meet up/ ride days too like a grass roots thing. "hey guys, the _____ team will be at _____ next weekend spreading the stoak, come out and join"
I'm hoping some of these smaller wakeskate companies start releasing boards to the public so they have an income and continue to stay alive instead of putting all the money into advertising a product no one has ridden other than team riders and friends. Would hate to see/ hear of a company folding in before anyone had a chance to buy and support them.
Austin and Andrew go head to head for the wakeskate tour championship and we have a "younger brother takes out the king and claims the crown" style story.
I finally progress and land some tricks ive been working on for way to long _________________ Scuba Steve's Wakeskate Film Libray |

my one prediction is Thomas horrell begins to acquire the most radical cassette wakeskate collection ever.
Outside of 2014 being radical. _________________ *The opinions expressed are on my behalf and not those of wakeskating.com* |

I would totally give it to him if it meant that much. He's a radical dude. I would do a lot for him. _________________ *The opinions expressed are on my behalf and not those of wakeskating.com* |

Raven, Osmosis Back Bigger I wanna see that
My predictions:
Nick Robinson will have a bigger break out year then he did in 2012.
Clement will remain a boss
Nick Taylor will land a switch tre flip and ride a whole contest switch
Flip tricks to lock in will finally start happening
Ben Horan will land kickflip back tail (hopefully bigspin out! )
Andy p will finally land that back 3 kickflip on the wakeskate tour.
Has anyone done a w2w varial heel? because if not that will probably go down this year.
maybe some ts w2w flip tricks?? _________________ -andrew- |
