urban wakeskating - Seattle

mattameo 10-22-2003, 7:54 PM

Anybody ever done any wakeboaring or wakeskating behind a car or sumtin? Up in seattle there's tons of flooding right now so me and some friends went puddle searchin. We found some good flooding along some farm land and it was probably the coolest thing ever. I'll get the video up soon. If anyone in the seattle area knows a good place and would like to pass it along or get a pull let me know. Stay tunned for the vid. Peace

That's cool I can't wait until you post a vid. The possibilities are endless with something like that.

I live in San Diego, so maybe you can tell me what a flood is????

Get a couple Benches and throw them in the puddle. Im sure a local school or the local transit authority would be more than happy to lend you a couple.

Nice video, I'm glad to see that some people are making the best of weather. Only in Seattle do people have more fun when it rains.

Thanks Steve. I have a question for you, im doing a senior project on marketing/advertising. Would you know anybody or anything that would be useful for me to get some sort of internship at. I dont need money just some sort of position in a related field. Any advice at all would help. Thanks, Peace

wakeskating is gay and boring...

mattameo 10-27-2003, 10:41 PM

aight thats fair... we were just havin a lil fun bro. I think you can find fun and entertainment out of anything involving water, a rope and sumtin to stand on.
