Haven't seen wakboarding on TV for a long time, is it still part of the X-games? sometimes you can catch it in the Pacific NW on FuelTV but thats not very often...

COMCAST IS HORRIBLE. I HATE Direct TV but I have to have it for Fuel.

I have taped a few of the "hot summer nights" on VHS. Just have to find a VCR and I will throw them up on youtube.

With the 2.0 system they will eventually get it back in, but with guys like travis pastrana having so much pull who knows when that will happen. Rally Car Racing....really?

I would love to see the x games throw an event like Wake the Line or Red Bull Wake Lab

look out for a wakelab style event before anything. the boat is just too much money for espn to do. eventually it will be back.

When I first heard that wakeboarding was dropped from the x-games I was disappointed. The x-games now do nothing but aggravate me. I don't think they could kiss up to Shaun White or Travis Pastrana any harder. I am sure that the riders miss having a big event like the x-games because it offered them some good prize money, but the x-games are garbage now and as a fan I am glad its not a part of that worthless marketing exercise.
