I was watching the cartoon network with my nephew tonight and saw a commercial with Tony the tiger shredding a flat bar that said wakepaloosa. Then he ollied over a boat then boots it off a kicker and rail slides some clouds! Kellogs promoting Wakeboarding? Very Cool! They should be sponsoring some riders.

How about this...It's on the boxes too...
As for riders to sponsor...I'm going with Grubb.

He wears a vest on the TV commercial, or what looks to be a vest, could be a comp bib.

Yeah but Tony can go inverted without spilling his guts out the top of his head!

no, think of the way gravity works... its just like if you took a soda though a loop on a roller coaster, the G's pull it to the bottem of the cup, as long as its moveing fast enough...

Well, thats the science lesson for today kids, tune in tomarow when we discuss the physics of a wake!

Wheres Tony's bindings..I agree w/ Skerzz I think he's wakeskatin..but on the commercial hes got bidings. And did ya see the part where he gets big air up into the clouds? Must be an awful long rope. HAHA, oh ya its a commercial.

Yeah, but how soft are the landings?

The Kool-Aid board has better graphics.

bassboy8855 07-18-2003, 11:02 PM
