Wakeboarding on the History Channel

Found this while bored at work today. Don't know if it has been posted before. Gotta miss the days of the Skurfer!

That's a really sweet documentary! Gotta love Modern Marvels!

how did I mess that, all I watch is the history channel? Good job though. tony and jimmy are cool and good guys, thanks boys!!!

Thanks for posting that.

Great find man! That would been a great help a few years ago when I did a report on the same thing!

wow that moby dick parks threw off the kicker was huge.

What's up with the moving slider!?!!! I've never seen anything like that!! Are they common? It seems super dangerous.

That is Shane going off of the kicker. I am pretty sure that most of the footage is from Boombox or Metronome, including the towable slider. I am pretty sure it is Metronome. Great find, you don't see Finn or Redmon that often, but their impact is everywhere.

Peter- the towable slider has been around for at least 5 years. The first time I saw anything like it was in Natural Born Thrillers when Shawn Watson, Aaron Reed, and Brian Grubb sessioned it. It seems dangerous but nothing more dangerous than hitting a stationary slider. Its crazy watching Watson pop off the wake so high and jib the hell out of it, so smooth.

Has anyone out there tried one before. I have been contemplating trying to build one for a few years now. It would be sweet to try one out for sure.

Sweet.....good post.
