VIDEO: Extreme…Kneeboarding?

Let’s face  it, ever since wakeboarding came on the scene kneeboarding has gotten little respect. Evidently Shawn Watson and Tom Fooshee, two professional wakeboarders — yes, wakeboarders — are ready and willing to change all that.

Watson recently released an amusing video of some hot knee’in action on his blog, StateOfWake.com. It features Fooshee tearin’ it up at a local cable park.

Check it out. Fooshee actually manages to make kneeboarding look kind of cool…even if it is still kind of funny.

Man, my knees hurt just watching this.
