Cool video but...
Doesn't seem fair.

Once he starts catching tricks into manuals....game over

Really awesome video edit, and it is pretty rad seeing skateboarding in the background of wakeskating shots. But like the above posters mentioned... a game of skate water vs concrete hardly seems fair lol.

Manuals? You guys mean Nollie and Fakie tricks?

Everything would be limited to regular/switch tricks. and if you want to have some fun, rail tricks of course limited some of that as well.

Be interesting though.

Depends on who got the first letter how fair it would be for either side....thinking a wake to wake trick may be hard on that flat ground skate set up Cool

I would imagine they would keep it to flat ground / flat water tricks, based on the set up in that teaser.

We gotta even the odds somehow though! Smile

Of-course it would be a bit unfair, but the point of the project was to expose more people to wakeskating who had never seen it before, putting it up next to skateboarding would make it more relate-able to everday joe.

Anyways the full edit is up now.

all it took was one film of a game of SKATE at Nick's, now we're going against bros on wheels!

nice one!

senza wake, Im really surprised we havnt seen a contest based on SKATE yet. That would be bad ass to have a battle of the berrics type show down.... I think flat water cable or system 2.0 would be the best, at least the fastest for the competitors. It would be really fun to watch, and would def get some recognition from skaterboarders. Some1 make it happen!

It's been done before, at a cable in Texas. TSR?

There's a whole vimeo channel that was dedicated to it:
