Had a chance to get out for a day with Mitch last week. We filmed a set on the fun box at the Wake Institute's slider park in Bobcaygeon. Thanks for driving the waverunner goes to Erika Langman. Also went for a chase set behind the Buckeye Wake Team's fully loaded Mastercraft X2 demo boat. Thanks to Jay Poole for driving the boat. Watch out for Mitch in the Ontario grass roots scene this summer, he's killing it.

SO, this is a thread for people to post the FULL SOUNDTRACK for wakeskate flicks that they love.
Im going to start with my personal favourite, then people can comment underneath adding more until we ...

This little airplane on the bottom flys through the water letting the board and seat hover above the water. By manipulating the wing I can jump and flip the ski in tons of different ways. Because there is less resistance in the wa...
