Original, but I don't know if it will work a lot. well probably it will, but it will be criticized for a couple of years for sure

ive seen something similar but nothing like the ones i saw on that website (www.nationswakeski.com)... theyre normally much shorter, like snowblades, these are like two wakeboards squished together, kinda like wut they did with snowboards to make twintipped snow skis

yea thats the problem, the lil snowblade lookin ones are only like $150 but the ones that look like "real" wake skis are like $750, i think iz b/c they havent gone into full production yet since its a new sport

these threads always pop up right about now. it looks like it might be fun to try but i would much rather just wakeboard. you can probably do alot more

yeah the hardest part of rollerblading is telling your parents your gay.
wake sports are so much better than anything on concrete. if you dont have a boat it sucks cuz your allways having to ask people to pull you but if you have a boat and a wetslip or pier its a hell of alot better

nations wakeskis are expensive but theres also a much cheaper version of wakeskis. you can get them from overtons.com and they are called hoppers wakeskis. they are 149.99 and they come with binding, not sure how good they are but its definately a way cheaper way to get into the sport

I foresee this becoming the new trend at the lakes this summer, right up there with street skiing and inline skating.
