wakeskatingizfun, yeah you're right...and there's another cable park being built in another province. i think i met you already..coz we got to talk to these 13 year old kids with the same board on your profile.

lol that was definitely us (me and my friend, we have the same board and plan on both getting integs now with all the excitement on this site). haha around new year rite? when the cable broke down for a day and we were really annoyed we just hung around there for hours, then came back the next morning and waited for longer, and they finally got it fixed. what were you riding then?

yeah i think it was around new year..i was with my two other friends. still remember us? we were still wakeboarding then since we still don't have wakeskates then. now we're riding a 05 byerly and a bi-level. i also got the integ already and i think it'll be shipping here around this week. so when will you guys come back here? are you the one wearing the capix helmet(green)?

yea i was the one with the green capix, and my buddy had to borrow a crappy vest. haha remember when we wouldn't stop cutting the line? haha we had everyone sooo pissed off at us. were u guys wakeboarding on you'r own gear or was it the borrowed board with like just a nylon strap for bindings?

I have a good friend/employee that wakeskates in hiroshima, japan. His name is Hisa and he's our eastern global sales rep for Devotid Wakeskates.

How is the scene over there (hong kong) as far as finding places to ride or people to ride with?
is the alot of cable parks around there?

the cable park count is unfortunately zero, and thats almost the wakeskater count. i actually strap more than i skate, but i skate when i go out on my friends boat or when we can't get a pull behind a wakeboard boat. yes, criticize and ostrasize me for it, but it's the truth. but i swear cable parks are always better for skating. that whole batangas trip i didn't put my bindings on once.
