NEWS AND INFORMATION...
We are looking for more story ideas and places to feature for the first episode which will be in editing hopefully in a few weeks. Any ideas ? Email Gump152@aol.com.
Over thanksgiving weekend the Skatepark of Tampa held a street skate contest. The turnout was great and the action will be featureed in the first show.
On December 5th (Saturday) we will be hitting WATER MANIA to feature the "Standing Wave" which simulates surfing.
We are also asking bands with original music recorded to send it in to possibly be aired on the show, all styles of music are welcome.
The above pics are from WATER MANIA's standing wave in Orlando. Known as the "FlowRider" a standing wave pushes thousands of gallons of water over a smooth inclined surface to create a hydraulic and form a simulated wave. Riders can take a body board here and after enough practice perform some outragous tricks. There are few standing waves throughout the world, we are fortunte enough to have one here in Florida. Other places with FlowRiders include Georgia, Texas, and in Scandinavia.
The Ski-Rixen at Quiet Waters PArk in West Broward county, is a machine which uses cables to pull a skiier or wake boarder across the surface of the lake without the use of a boat. Four towers are located in each corner of the lake with a long cable strecthing the four corners. The cable pulls the rider fast enough across the lake that it feels like a boat is pulling the skiier only there is no wake or the sound of an engine. The skiiers perform tricks on the turns when the cables gives a little slack and then pulls the rider around the corner with great force.
The above pics were taken at the offshore power boat races in Key West. Courtesy of HMC Choppers and WFOR's Chopper 4. (Nov 1998)
