Phun Promotions was in town lately and put together a fun event called Minnesota Meltdown. We aren’t quite sure how we never heard about this, but their mix of wakeboarding and snowboarding looks really fun. Winching is definitely bringing some new opportunities all the time. Check out the video and get inspired to do something creative.

Amazing Wakeboard Video with GoPro

Ryan Taylor is a very well known photographer around the Twin Cities.  You will spot him at most Minnesota events no matter if it is skateboarding, wakeboarding, or snowboarding.  I’ve always been blown away by his work with a still camera, but this video truly shows his skills in video editing too.  This was filmed on a GoPro HD camera which is actually pretty affordable.  I bet this video will make you want to buy one…  Watch the video here by clicking the “read more” link below or by clicking the image above.
