Help!

Something about preventing injuries while wakeboarding? Work out where the forces from landing are spread, and work out some ways to spread them away from the knees, ankles etc.

Always a pleasure :wink: Hope it all goes well.

I like your idea, we should study erosion of banks at lake sides and see how we can increase it so we can get bigger ski areas :-)

That means more boats and thus a bigger wakeboard market. From this we could all have wakeboard shops due to the bigger demand and thus we could all live the dream.

And then i woke up.......

all the best

what are the possitive and negative effects on the community for building, or using a previously unused lake, for a wake sports complex.

you could start with a case study of jb or princes club. how they started, how they have changed the local areas. ie. one thought is that has the crime rate dropped since the four club's in that area opened. (by giving the kids something to do! and express themselves)

surely there is some area of your course which covers grass roots sport, which would be great to link to wakeboarding as it is clearly one of the quickest growing sports in the uk at the moment. what is needed to make grow? (coaching, cost, area, greater awareness etc.)

anyway i'm probably boring you by now, just something that would be of intrest to me. or may even help people pursuade local authorities to let us have more lakes.

good luck! let us know what you decide write!

Hey there!
Thanks for your ideas, I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing yet! Its going to be a long the lines of sports development, wakeboarding, extreme sports, their cultures and something to do with comparisons between Oz and the UK as I'm going out to ride for a couple of months and the only way to get round my tutors was to say I'd do some research out there!! Anymore input would be sweet, I need all the help I can get!!
