Take a trip down a very sketchy memory lane with this week's Flashback Friday video: Gator Glass. While it may relatively easy to go wakeboarding on your hometown lake, sometimes it's fun to add a little adventure to make the experience that much more memorable. That's why we asked Bob Soven to take fellow Body Glove team wake team riders Harley Clifford and Rusty Malinoski somewhere "different."

Leave it to Bob Soven to pick one of the more "interesting" locations in Florida. Plans were made, schedules were set, and there was no turning back as the Body Glove team descended upon the sheet glass and alligator-infested dark waters of St. John's River. Enjoy this "fun" video of the guys nervously throwing down major tricks on a perfect day at the alligator swamp.  

Wakeboarders - Bob Soven, Harley Clifford, & Rusty Malinoski
Cinematographers - Greg Browning, Scott Smith
Editor - Scott Smith
Music - You Scream I Scream "She's All Gold"
