i guess its all in what you like as to what side of the fence your on.
i bought my first wakeboard in '99 and started riding then.
i cant help but notice how cable parks have seemingly taken over the sport.
im a purist i guess i LOVE WAKEboarding behind a boat. when i buy a DVD or watch a online vid, if its cable, winch, or wakeskate i imidiatly skip it. im just not into the spin offs. its not that i hate them, i tried them all, but prefer WAKEboarding behind a boat. and i definatly have mad respect and appreciation for there skills that i could never achieve, but just not something i enjoy.
what im getting at is ive noticed this trend growing massivly. posts on online forums, vids posted, and the nail in the coffin, im not sure if yall have opened this months transworld wake mag, but the entire thing is cable and winch. i guess it just pushed my buttons. the only part about WAKEboarding in the entire mag is a couple pages about special edition boats. just got frustrated i guess.
anyone else prefer plain ol WAKEboarding, and not into the cable thing?
