Yes. I've actually been skating more street type stuff so I can pretend I'm wakeskating. Don't get me wrong though, I'm a tranny hesher most of the time http://www.wakeskating.com/media/showphoto.php?photo=1252&sort=1&cat=511&page=1

I was just wondering. I skated for about 20yrs, but have not in a long time. I felt wakeskating was a great way for me to get that feeling without the broken bones, road rash and twisted ankles...LOL. Very Happy

i skate every now and then but im by all means no ripper. the only thing ive ever done that was cool was a bs 180 down a four stair and then hitting a garbage can ruining my moment of triumph Mad

i've never skateboarded in my life, always wanted to but just didn't. i've got up on a wakeboard for about 15 minutes and that's all. i went into wakeskating without any experience so it's definately a new feeling to me but i'm adapting pretty well. when i take interest in hobbies, i try to learn everything about it.

Spinwax My feeling's exactly.When you get to a certain age concrete is just too hard and bones break alot easier.

But a skating background def helps with wakeskating.I like the surfing crossover better though Laughing

In my opinion a skateboarding background definatly helps with style.

I have a skateboarding background. It's not extensive enough to help me all that much in the style department however.
