Andre is about as local as it gets. If West Rock is open, he's getting laps. If we're hosting a premiere, he's there to watch. What we're saying is, "DRE" is family around these parts. 2022 seemed to be the year his riding turned the corner and it shows. Check out his entry for our video contest "Stacked"!

Dan "Blanco" White is a local snowboarder (& all around amazing human) who happened to recently find cable wakeboarding. He is the perfect example of why standing sideways year round makes you a better overall rider. His progress in 2022 was incredible to watch...check it out for yourself.

What Is Cable Wakeboarding or a Wake Park?
Man I wish I watched this before going to the park😂😂 I got totally slammed
@@OrangeVROfficial the exact reason we’re pretty strict about how people experience our park. 😂 We have a flow chart on our site to explain what class you should start with before booking. Hoping you find the “sweet spot” next time on the corners and love it next time. 🤘🏽
This video still holds up so well! Great production. The creator is super talented!
such a good explanation, thanks!
Wonderful explanation. I really appreciate the effort to explain and edit this together!
@@RudyWarman Love to hear it! Thanks for the input.
Best explanation on the Internet, thanks alot for all the work you put into this!
Very helpful, thank you! Cannot wait to try this out.
Best educational video I've seen (accross all categories) this year. CONGRATS!!!!!
WHOA, that is a huge compliment. Thank you! We just want to prevent anyone from faceplanting, and want everyone to fall in love with the sport.
Great vid. Thanks!
Thank you!!! Just rode at a cable park for the first time yesterday the turns were killing me lol. Could never make it past the 3rd one without falling
Love to hear you gave it a shot! If you’re ever near Chicago during our season reach out for a free pass!
Absolutely the best explanation out there on how to ride corners. Kudos for producing it!
Thank you for this!
Hey, I just came from my birth town Belgrade, Serbia and they have this on the lake ADA. My daughter made the full lap on day 2, crazy!!!
best tutorial on youtube
This is a great video, good job guys
So stoked about what you guys are doing over there as well! Hope to visit at some point. Hope this edit helps with your new riders as well!
So good! ❤ I want who made this video to explain everything in life to me this way. 😂
Lol, right?
Awesome edit! Hope I can figure out those turns.
You can do it! 🤘🏽
Great how to video! Thank you
Going to a cable park on thursday. I am a kiteboarder, so i do have decent board control, but I've only been to a wakeboard park once and barely made a full lap two times, each time without even attempting a second one. I did notice some serious slack on the lines during turns and tried various things to fix it on my tries, but got worn out very quickly. Every turn would be a major test of strength/endurance (usually a very strong "jank" once the lines got back to tension, followed by a crazy speedup that I almost could not control) and in the end I could not longer make even the first turn due to fatigue and had to give up. Awesome video. I will try to apply that knowledge ;)
Hey thanks for watching our video! Without seeing a video of you - your description is exactly what happens when you “cut” the corner. By cutting the corner you’re essentially making yourself sink, losing all tension, then once the carrier changes directions and retightens the rope you get yanked back up to speed. The key to avoiding this is going a bit further out finding the “sweet spot” we talk about in the video, and each and every turn will be perfect.
Thank you! Very helpful. I went a couple days ago for my first time and got in the water. The first corner I got yanked hard. Went down and sprained my ankle. But, going to try again tomorrow. This was very informative and easy to understand.
Wow! Best explanation. Made it so clear and easy to understand. Thank you 🙌
Should have watched this video before I faceplanted 😅
Damn you got some fire editing here
Just brilliant - top notch teaching.
Such a great video thank you!
Thank god you made this video. My first time wake park just on knee board(I can kitesurf wanted to practice toe side ). I was told to go wide around the buoy which worked on the first two corners, but no one told me about the third, most dangerous corner. I was only knee boarding and face planted which hurt my kneck then on next run I turned over this time and fell on my back & kneck directly. After a break and three more attempts I was over it, afraid to break something and honestly was getting anxious as i got to the corner. This video will help than you, though I found out they have a slower cable run for a few hours on weekend so will try that. This video should be mandatory safety video.
Sorry to hear you slammed! But...glad you found our corners video. Yes slow cable will help, but you still need the proper board skills to navigate the corners and find that sweet spot. Let us know how it goes and if you're ever near chicago in the summer come visit us!
Nice job, thank you so much 👍🤝💪
This is very helpful I just got my liquid force board and I took it out for the first time yesterday and I had a blast until I got to the turns I kept dropping into the water hopefully I can turn now from watching this 😂😂😂😂😂
First time wakeboarding as well
Dude all y'all's videos are so well made and fun to watch, thanks for all the help
Thanks for the love. Hoping to keep it rolling this season with more content.
Why doesnt this have more views
Lol. So good, right? SR and his sister, Hannah killed it with this one.
This should be pushed too every cable park
Perfect explanation of this bro. Thank you
You guys should open one of these in Arizona where you can ski/board year-round.
We’ve definitely considered other locations, and AZ would be amazing. However what we see in Europe is most riders enjoy the seasonal break - it’s incredible how much wakeboarding is thriving over there.
Certified gamer
Always fun to watch him get creative.
Jeremy said it. I got nothing to add
Great season Luke!
so good
Rad
It's like watching an old friend when he was little.
yooooooooooooo🔥🔥🔥🔥
Where has this been all my life? I learned how to water ski in the Caspian sea and would love to try this!
Sick edit!
This is the best explanation in the world!
Y’all gotta put out more of these! Not many solid trick tips out there for wakeboarding and y’all seem to make the best!
The production quality of this video is insanely good. Also it’s the best explainer video I’ve found on taking cable corners. Needs way more views 🔥🔥🔥
This was exactly what I needed. May Allah guide you ☺️
Thank you for this video! Helped me a lot to understand why the rope wal always snapping out of my hand in one of the turns! Best video for the begginers, best explanation possible!
The editing and tricks are amazing, but it's all about that subtle bopping in the beginning for me. Great job, SR and Hanna!
The animation in 3.32 is awsome, how did you do that ?!
Great video.
