before the skate

[XdrummerX]

I was just wonderin about how many people here (like me) have never wakeboarded before, but wakeskate a lot. I also only tried skateboarding on my wal-mart deck to learn moves for wakeskating. Maby thats why its taking me a little more time to learn stuff

[jboss]

i wakeboarder a few years ago and i still skate a little bit. skating helped out the most, even though i fail at wakeskating .

[JamesBoardr]

i used to wakeboard..because thats all there was to do. no one thought of actually being able to do any of the tricks people land regularly lately. i strap on a board once a month just to get my mind off of a frustrating trick. skateboard may?? help but its all about time on the water and board control

[-=AlexXx=-]

i strapped for about a year.... wakeskating is alot more fun, more free, tricks came fast to me cuz i had a big back round in skateboarding. wakeskating > wakeboarding.

[seven11dmd]

ive never strapped, and id say i wakeskate a lot. some guy wants to get me out tho.

[classik5onit]

i got an 05 hyperlite at the beggining of the season and then i was introduced to wakeskating about a month and a half ago. the hyperlite has been sitting in the garage ever since just collecting dust. i havent rode a wakeboard since

[lake weir ocala FL]

i never really did that many watersports...i wakeboardered a little but i fail miserably at that but i'm a pretty good skateboarder and that helps me alot on the water

[Nekkie]

I think that when you start out a wakeboarding background will help more, since you will know how to handle the wake and the rope tension.

but when the time comes to do technical tricks, skateboarding is where it's at. I'm picking back up skating to improve my wakeskating actually

[BillyOLDS]

Nekkie, i concur 100%

i have no wakeboarding esperience and the hold dynamics of the handle passing and landing on ur edges and stuff like that are now starting to get me, but im learning that but i picked up wakeskating quickly from skimming and skating.

[Kavanagh]

wakeboarded for about 5 years then Frawley got me into wakeskating, ugh , i still strap up quit a bit though cuz i gotta show my buddy up but i snowboard and skateboard, so i'd say ugh wakeskating.wakeboarding.snowboarding.skateboarding in order, but hey thats just me

[St.ClaireSkate]

i got an 05 LF Fish at the begining of the summer and new Team bindings too cuz ive strapped fir 3 years, then i got a skate like less than a month ago and its more fun. I still slalom and foot but not too much wakeboarding and now i kinda regret spending a grand Canadian on a new board. Wakeskating is where its at though i used to skateboard and even had a little sponsor Revolution Skatepark theyd give me boards when mine broke and i could skate at the indoor park for free.

[Grouch]

I rollerblade, play football, drink from the Keg and rape sorority girls.

[Schimkat]

I went wakeboarding for the first time in about 4 our 5 months and I regained all respect for what can be done on a wakeboard. Over the 4 or 5months, I found out I lost 360's. It's crazy. I think I will be wakeboarding more often. It feels really good though, landing. I dont know why, probly a feeling of accomplishment, because I fail at everything.


Wakeskating is still the shiot... more freedom

<3 Wakeskating.
