    Need a new toy - wakeskis - Hydroslide or Bodyglove

    So I am already bored with the Roam wakeboard. Looking for a new toy, I am thinking the wakeskis look like fun. They might let me cross my waterski jumping and wakeboarding into a single activity.

    1. Has anybody tried them?
    2. Are they decent?
    3. How cheezy are the bindings?
    4. Is there any difference between the Hydroslide and Bodyglove models?

    Thanks,
    Mikeski

      I'm with monk. I just bought a set of Connelly trick skis and they are a blast. I would watch my friend doing all sorts of tricks including, wake jumping and flips. I also spent most of the time on a slalom ski but was getting board until I got these.

          I bought a set of Hydroslide off e-bay for pretty cheap. The foam bindings are awful, I ripped the back off one the first time out. They are kind of fun to ride but I have more fun boarding/slaloming/footing. They ride like big shoe skis.

            check these out they are made overseas but all the team riders ride at Houston Watersports Complex (actually Mikkel Rathje is here right now) and a lot of the proto type trials were done here. these guys are all awesome slolom skiiers/jumpers/trick skiiers so these skiis are designed to appeal to the all around water fiend.
