conwest, That's all I did in the last 4 years?

To be honest, I'm not really that stoked about it.

nick got amazing-er than he already was at w2w and can do like a million in a row backside fronside and switch 3's w2w che blanc, you did that too, as well as im pretty sure becoming like 100 million times more consistent with everything? and he can destroy manatees with his judo and benihanna kicks

Chec blanc i remember when you first got on here asking all these questions about wakeskating.. now your pro... sweet.

well hearing some of these tricks being landed i've got some catching up to do.

I've been busy with school the past couple of years and now im done and I'm a fire fighter for brevard county( right next door to orange county). So im looking to get back in it and kill time on my days off. i live out on lake howell now, my roommates got a boat, but i'd rather be on a jet ski because of the downtime.

what ever happened to daniel lovett and all those guys?

My friend is actually trying to get a job in Orlando right now as a firefighter. He's currently working in south florida for a private company. Getting pee'd on by old people, that sort of thing and I'm still looking for a jet ski to buy for wakeskating!

funnyfeni, I think Daniel Lovett is an accountant or something like that, I saw him at Hooter's and he said he wasn't into it anymore or something.

Cassette is gone and Danny and Aaron ride for liquid force now.

Reed Hansen is the new black.

Asking a lot of questions and getting the answers is paying off.

Wakeskating is no longer part of the pro tour and Scott Byerly has turned the Toe Jam into a 4 stop tour.

Byerly also started a board company to his namesake.

Byerly has a video magazine called Volume Wakeskate Videos, currently on Issue 5. Buy them if you want to see the progression of riding over the last few years. Buy them no matter what.

Wakeskating is still the greatest thing ever to happen to any of us and ws.com is still a pretty chill place to talk about it.

Cassette is currently not producing boards, but they are not "gone."

Funnyfeni, did you ever find yourself an SBG wakeskate? I still remember you wanted one of those, but they're really damn hard to find. Anyway, congratulations with school and your career. I think that's awesome.
