Well if you are like us you have been waiting on this video from the Nike Wakeskating crew! The boys built a custom feature down at Valdosta Wake Compound and essentially made all wakeskaters world wide want to go there! Sit back and watch nine minutes of some of the heaviest tricks done on a wakeskate from the best riders in the world.
“No Worries takes you into a week in the life of the Nike Wakeskate Team at the Valdosta Wake Compound. The team consisting of Nick Taylor, Ben Horan, Andrew Pastura, Yan Lecomte, and Austin Pastura spent a week riding the entire park focusing on a Nike specific spot of the park built by our very own Ben Horan with help of other friends in the wakeskate community. After an amazing road trip for our last team trip we chose to partner with the Valdosta boys and focus our efforts on one spot which will be a permanent fixture to the VWC park. Give these guys one week in any spot and you are bound to see some of the most amazing wakekskating ever. Put them on a perfect spot built by riders and this is what you get. Enjoy and we hope to see you at the park soon. Read More >

Despite a little rain, The Suwannee Pro went off without a hitch. Unlike The Byerly Toe Jam and Retention, this setup had no rails built into the agenda. The contest basically turned into a demo of technical gap tricks featuring wakeskating’s biggest names.
“I decided I wanted to focus on the drop aspect and let everybody get real technical” Nick Taylor explains. “I’ve been catching a little bit of flack for it but once the finals go down I think people will be excited”.

The Suwannee Pro in Lake City, FL marks the first time The Wakeskate Tour has visited Nick Taylor‘s place. The two giant pool gaps made for the first gap-only set up on tour and encouraged riders to go for broke. Oh yeah, there was a baby pig too.
The Suwannee Pro is the third stop of The Wakeskate Tour. Catch up on the previous stops at The Byerly Toe Jam and Retention.
“We stopped down at the Pickett house while in Florida for a few weeks and picked up a few slow mo clips of some of the regulars.” – Mike Shore & Ryan Light
