I think it looks badass. I like the skis in this video with the topsheet that looks like the 08 AR6s.

I have questioned them because I've heard that they perform best in cable parks and not so well behind a boat. They are, apparently much more difficult to pop off of a wake in comparison to a wakeboard. I am no where near a cable park but have thousands of lakes around me so I'm torn.
 
Listen here homeslices....
First of all do you live by a cable park? These skis are fun as hell on a cable but you might get bored behind a boat. unless you plan on leanin a bunch of rolls and such.
Otherwise Stereo and Hyperlite or HO make wakeskis and both make decent skis. But be advised you will bust em up. I've seen people go through many of these skis.
 
i'm feelin pretzels on those things. would be dope if they worked like skis on a rail. though you have the handle to hold on to, but you could use that to pull you around into spins too.
 
unfortunately quite true.

on the other hand i skiboard and rollerblade and do whatever the heck else i think is fun because that's what matters to me.
 
lol sk8brdrz r SEW faggi dey r always smokin cigeretts wen i wana skootr thru tha sk8park in my town and r rood 2 me if i wana try a new trik n put da candle i brot frum home all ovr there copingz.

buncha assh0lez if u ask me lol
 
Pretzels are possible and have been done.

They are way easy to ride on boxes and you can pull so much crazy shit if you are riding a cable park. they are a lil more tricky behind boats. but fronts backies, and different roll variations are possible
 
I've used them. They're kinda fun but actually landing on them is way too difficult. On snow skis you get forward and backwards stability by having high, stiff boots. On wakeskis you have no forward back stability with little bindings like that so it's really, really hard to go big like you would on a wakeboard.
 
hahahahhahahahahhhaahhahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahhahahaha
i actually just laughed soooooo fucking hard.
wow, +k fo sure
 
I kind of knew someone would say something like this. I probably wrote it to sound like all skateboarders are faggy and do that. I was just talking about the ones that do which would probably be 25% most of whom are noobs anyways.
 
i think slalom skiing can be way fun, and i suck at wakeboarding so i've considered these. but just screwing around on regular skis its so awkward hitting the wake. like since you hit it at an angle like one ski pops just a little bit before the other one. I feel like these things would be a waste of resources behind a boat but fun with a cable park.
 
my cousin just bought a pair we went out on billy chinook and prinvillie. either ours suck or its really really really hard.
 
I skiboarded all last year just because the shit was so fun. Revel8 is goofy but pretty cool. I could spin sevens on flat ground!But sorry, my czars beat that shit anyyyyday
 
Who cares just do what you like to do, not what ns thinks Is cool. I like wakeskating the best but that's just my opinion
 
i have heard that they are not that fun behind a boat because popping is weird, and there just isnt very much support in the boots, however sliders are really fun, but they will destroy your skis soooo fast, and there is absolutely no warranty for rail damage, in fact the warranty states as soon as they are used on a non water surface the warranty becomes completely void, and you can definitely notice once they have touched sliders/taps/kickers/etc.
sliders are very different from rails though, having a handle completely changes the way you rotate your spins and the way you pop. i am sure its fun, although only if you have a cable park or a bunch of sliders on a lake that you can ride
 
i've got a pair of HO wakeskis. they're dope as fuck. my homie has the stereo wakeskis and ive ridden those too. the stereo's are a little nicer if youre a bigger dude, but the rocker on the HOs is fucking insane. so playful & fun.
 
I used to jump the wake on water skis when I was like 12. Wakeboarding just makes more sense behind a boat and occasional sliders. You can pop a lot easier. I do use a wakeskate as a monoski sometimes though, and it can be fun. Not something I would dump money into though.
 
Yeah, I ride behind a couple of different boats. They're fine for jumping. We've got a 5.5 ft competition waterski jump too that I jump off of as well. I have a feeling though that a bad landing off of that thing might crack one of them one of these days.
 
Hell yeah their cool, and they look super fun too! can't wait to try them out at my friends cabin!!
