Anybody watch this vid? I got about 7 mins through before I had to tend to the kiddos. This video is sick, wakeskating is so awesome.... These guys just killing it with their own little step down set-up. I love vids like this showing killer riding, lots of fun, and doing it all without the $100k wake boats everyone is getting so spoiled with and feel they have to have to ride.
I love wake boarding, but at times feel the sport is losing it's way (at least amongst the amateur ranks). You don't see anyone pushing themselves getting wrecked trying to learn new stuff. Used to be when we were in our early-mid 20's there were a bunch of sacked out older V'drives and DDs (all under $25k boats anyway) and all were riding (WAKEBOARDING). You could watch someone take a set, see some good riding, check out what the other guys were learning/working on, and there was always some progression happening on the lake (you guys see so and so working on HS 5s today?)
Now on our lakes its all $100k plus boats and nobody doing anything but surfing.
Anyway end of rant, seems wakeskating is what wakeboarding used to be 10 years ago. This vid is good check it out. Get's me pumped for all the fun we're gonna have on my old Supra Sunsport this summer.
