Hi all,

All of you got great shots of the wakeboarders in their perfect stunts, but we know that behind that perfect stunt, captured by our perfect shots, there are many failures and misses...

So it was not a difficult task for me to capture these:

1. This is how it should start...

2. Don't stand with one leg like this....

3. Else you will loose your balance...

4. And fall like this....

wakeskates are just a board with grip tape similar in size to a wakeboard but there are no bindings to hold your feet in place...hence he is wearing normal shoes.

So wakeskating is more difficult...

snowboarding is to skateboarding : as wakeboarding is to wakeskating

One is not anymore difficult to master, but just getting up on the board is easier on a wakeboard.

Youtube "Reed Hansen" he's awesome and a super nice guy.

Only spent 10 minutes shooting we kind of talk more shoot less.... Plus the wakeskaters were not doing must stunts, so these are what I had captured that are presentable to you :oops:
