Treeknowlegde Core Productionproduction and virtual prototype video

Here are the latest news from Treeknowledge. The revolutionary new wood wakeskate is in the production process. After a meeting with all the team rider the concave was changed a little bit to make a real flip wakeskate. The cores are shaped and the wakeskates are now in the press for the upper and lower beld. The date for delivery seems to be the beginning of April.

The first video shows the shaping of the core with a Sinumerik 840D controlled 5 axis CNC milling machine. The second one is a short view on the virtual wakeskate model. This model is the base for making everything you can imagine with a wakeskate.
All videos are links to the Treeknowlegde homepage.

As most of you already know about alliancewakeskate.com you migth be interested in its british offset www.alliancewake.co.uk.

 Yes... there are wakeskater in Great Britan.. not too unusual since it is an island.

If you wanna see how the english guys are riding you can check this video and this travel report form a trip to germany / Blaichach.

For all of you plannig a trip to germany in 2009: the cable in Blaichach is changing the owner / operator and the obstacle-park will be seriously cut. There are rumors that most of the sesitec-obstacles will be moved to new cable near freiburg.

But since germany has more cables than any other place thre are many substitutes. We can recoment the schwandorf - cable (see some pictures here) and of course the cable in Magdeburg. 

see you at the lake
