i think all watersports deserve more t.v. time... whether its wakeboarding, wakeskating, or whatever... but kneeboarding seems to be the watersport that is ignored the most...and to what many people interpret it as...we arent the kind of riders that just so surface 360s all day... check out the therapy video on this website

http://www.kneeboardplanet.com/photo_album/index.htm

this video gives most people a different view of kneeboarding...and this video doesnt even have the biggest moves...the video air assault has people doing double backrolls,double frontflips,900's,1080's,and raley half frontrolls to backflips...

if you have watched any these videos... or if you have the same or different opinions on kneeboarding leave me a post

it hasnt been around that much longer to wakeboarding...kneeboarding is just a lil older...yes wakeboarding got big before it...but kneeboarders are now following it in certain ways while still doing their own thing... examples- twin tip designs, rails and kickers,using big wakes and towers...

you can relate kneeboarding to wakeboarding like snowskiing to snowboarding... snowskiing has been around longer than snowboarding...but when snowboarding got big...snowskiing followed them and while still doing their own thing...snowboarding reevolutionalized itself and snowskiing...just like wakeboarding to is to kneeboarding

in case you didnt notice i know my sports history...and i like sports not for how popular it is...or for the money...or for what other people say about it... i ride everything that gives me that thrill...how many of you skaters skate because of the thrill?

yo waterdork88 im not trying to harp down on you but knee boarding is pretty fu^king ghey. I mean its kinda like tubing its fun to do just to fu^k around everyonce in a while but not a hobbie. I mean its not that cool to say i just got some sick kneeboarding gloves, or wanna check out my sweet new knee pads, or my sick strap. Not cool at all and it will never go to the X Games, wakeskating eventually will. And wakeboarding is pretty popular 10000x more that kneeboarding.

I bet u use ur kneeboard as a wakeskate.....

It would be cool for maybe for one second when people hit rails....and die but thats about it.

know your history. thats not much history. and skiers dont look like they are handicaped when they hit the slopes. Kneeboarders do. im surprised you have the gumption to come on a wakeskating board and defend kneeboarding...

i do know my history...that wasnt all of it...i could talk about it all day...

yeah you would be surprised there are lots of people that look forward to the next new kneeboard, or next video, or whatever...and no its not like tubing...some companys are making a disgrace to the sport by making tubes with straps and calling it kneeboarding...and we hate those companys...

and whats with all the handicap crap? i know plenty of people that are handicap but they'll break their back if they try to kneeboard...and a handicapped person wouldnt wrap the rope around them and hit a wake...its the same thing as wakeboarding except we are kneeling and we have many of the same tricks and some different tricks...

and doing a 900 on a kneeboard is f-ing hard...i doubt you have the ability to do it...if you prove me wrong ill shutup right now

we dont dis you people because you are not attached to your boards...there would be no reason to... because skating has created moves that neither wakeboarders or kneeboarders can do...and we respect your sport...so why are you dis'in us when we are kneeling...it allows us to do moves that wakeboarders or skaters cant do...just like when wakeboarders stand while they are attached to their boards...that allows them to do moves that neither skaters or kneeboarders can do...yet we respect their sport...

so what is wrong about kneeboarding

You know what's wrong about kneeboarding? All most of these guys (including me) and most wakeboarders only see kneeboarders on their home lake, throwing around power turns and just generally fiznackling up our calm water, and what's more, most everyone that I know only kneeboards because they can't wakeboard or wakeskate.

Not dissing on you, but the majority of the kneeboarding "community" are 8 year old girls and soccer moms.
