Schwandorf - Village of the swans!

Here we go...my home cable park is located in Schwandorf / Bavaria / Germany.

In my opinion it is the best cable park in Germany, especially for wakeskating!

First of all...the obstacles: Kicker on the right, Step-down-box on the left, Funbox on the right, Kicker on the left, S-box on the right, Flatbar on the right, Incline on the left, Table on the right, Flatbar on the left, Rainbow on the right and another kicker on the second cable.

Every obstacles is perfectly built! Credits go to Soeren, our obstacle god from Denmark.

As you can see there are two cables next to each other. Which is siiiick!

More features:

- We got a nice beach area ( as you can see :-D )
- Schwandorf has really really clean water. When the sun is shining you can see the bottom of the lake while you're riding.
- There is a pretty good wakeboard shop and a restaurant
- And a sick BBQ area

Schwandorf 02

Steffen Wild built the first cable in 1999 and the second one in 2001.
He was a really successful waterskier and wakeboarder. He knows how to do it right.

HYPNOSE Wakeboard Movie

Hey guys.

Today I wanna refer to a new cable wakeboard movie coming out soon!

It's called HYPNOSE and was produced by ROPE Wakeboards.
The whole thing was filmed in Antalya (Turkey).

In my opinion it features some of the best cable wakeboarders in the world..
For example Nick Davies did a couple of different 9°s, 1080° and a new trick called ABC.

So make sure to check it out!

Hello From Andy

Hello..

Welcome to my first blog entry. And this is really the first one I've ever written.

Two days ago Tom Fooshee asked me if I wanna join that blog cause they need a guy from Europe who writes for them.

I felt honoured and said "Hell yeah" straight away.

So here we are!

I hope that I got some nice and interesting stories concerning wakeboarding and wakeskating in Europe for you guys.

And I also hope that my English ist not too bad :-(

Well I'm going to the cable park in a few minutes to watch some local kids ride..

I can't because I broke my toe a few days ago but I'll be back soon!!!

- Andy
