Talk:Kneeboarding (towsport)

Death notice not needed
In the article it reads: "NOTE: THIS TRICK IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO PULL OFF, AS THE VELOCITY INCREASES EXPONENTIALLY AS THE ROPE STRAIGHTENS OUT. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, 34 PEOPLE WERE KILLED ON OWASCO LAKE, NEW YORK DOING THIS TRICK!"

I think this is unnecessary. I have done this trick hundreds of times and although it is difficult to learn, I have never been injured while doing it. I highly doubt 34 individuals were killed on one lake while performing a spinning kneeboard maneuver.


 * Agreed. It has been removed. If nothing else, it needs to be sourced. The notion that 34 people died on one lake attempting one kneeboard trick seems patently absurd, and without a citation it doesn't belong here. NihilisticMystic 17:58, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
