So i was flipping through this magazine, my dad gets it cuz he likes jet skis, and on the front cover it has a new sea doo wake pulling a wakeskater and it looks like danny hampson is driving the ski. The head liner at the top of the front page says "Hit it, learn the tow secrets of wakeskaters and big wave surfers" so i immediatly got excited. so i being to flip through and likes 2 pages in on the contents page, its reed hason, doing what looks like a varial flip, photo by josh letchworth. I continued to and saw reed hason doing another trick, and began to read, and more pictures game. Then a sick pic of arron reed, and more pics to come. Then a quote "Its deffinitly pushing wakeskating out into the main stream", kinda a good thing cuz it shows how big wakeskating is really getting... and how its almost getting as big as wakeboarding. Another thing i liked about the article is taht they really related wakeskating to wakeboarding ALOT. "Reed and Hasens surroundins, however, arent some urban playground. Instead the pavement is a picturesque lake outside, orlando FL, a place where the boards and moves my be as familiar but the roaod rash is replaced by the eater splash... and the push of a leg is replaced by the pull of a PWC". Another quote was "their are like 12 million skateboarers in the nation. thats why wakeskating has got so much potential. Hansen ends the article with "You can just hang out on the water with your friends and wakesakte for hours and have a fun". Which is why we all do it, cuz of the love and fun of it. Just relaxing and chilling forgetting about everything else and loving life.

One thing i noticed in the mag, was that hansen isnt very photogenic and most of of shots looks just about the same to me, do anyone else notice that? i love aaron reeds shot though. Enjoy.

And i landed my first kickflip today. Shocked

5th try

Cool article, that'd be cool if wakeskating got kinda big, not skateboarding big where you got people doing it just to be cool, but enough to where if someone sees your skate they're not like, "Hey, where are the boots on that thing?"

Congrats on the kickflip too Birthday
