Here it is:
http://web.mac.com/pjtwelker/iWeb/Site/Raequel.html
We were all so stoked for Raequel. Earlier in the day, Shawna landed a toeside Backside 180 on her first try. These girls are truly as nice as can be, they work hard, and they deserve all the success that is coming their way. Congratulations!
|
|
siiiiiiiiiiiiiick! congrats raequel!!!
a huge congrats to shawna as well for landing the hardest of the 180s!!!
|
|
Very clean! It looks like a 9 is not too far for her also.
Keep up the good work Raequel
|
|
wheres the ts bs 180 from shawna. thats jus as sick of a trick as the 7 to me
|
|
Wow! Big and CLEAN!!!
Sweet that you got it on video!
|
|
So nice and smooth, I see a 900 coming soon.
|
|
that was siiiick!
|
|
WOW...that was totally awesome!
Huge props to the Hoffman sisters for pushing the sport!
|
|
that was awesome! TS BS 1 thats crazy too! she went really off axis.
i never understand how ppl on this site see a trick landed once, and automatically say that the next is coming soon. Rusty lands his third 1080 out of how many tries, and ppl start saying 12? shes only the second woman to land a 7, and people are already saying 9. wait for at least 5 or 6!
|
|
if you knew raequel like a lot of us here know her, you wouldn't put the 9 past her. the hoffmans are all about progression. besides amber wing, what other girl is landing 7s? how many other 15yr old girls are landing toe-back 180s? like i said, progression.
sure, she needs to land the 7 a few more times, but what we're saying is that don't be surprised if she's landing 9s soon.
|
|
WOW...Insanely talented! Congratulations Raequel!
|
|
SICK! now that's what I call stomp'n it! Super clean! CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Normally I give ratings based on 5 chops, but this gets 6 karate chops out of 5...!

insane!
|
|
Can someone repost this in mpeg?
|
|
DAMN! See how big she took that!
Go for the 9!
They're giving a whole new meaning to progression, incredible!
|
|
That's so nice to see. The kind of stuff that may end the domination of Dallas!
|
|
dnp33, let me add to what Joe said, Iv'e had the plessure to be in the boat for many training sessions with the girls, and having been around lots of pro riders over the years and I can assure you no one works harder to push their riding then Reaquel & Shawna. I have seen both get "worked" over and over learning a new trick, eight, ten hard hits in a row that would put most guys back in the boat, they just put their board back on and go again. So hence my comment about the 900, there's no doubt in my mind she will land one.
|
|
David-
Don't be surprised if Raequel is very consistent on this trick very soon. She rode away on the board several times before she landed this one. She has the rotation down. Randy is absolutely right. It's not overly premature to start talking about a 9. It was Raequel herself who said that now she was going to start working on a 9 almost immediately after she got in the boat. Don't put it past her.
|
|
THAT is SO sick!!!! Congrats Raequel, big time!
And Shawna TS BS 180 first try...incredible! That is one of my favorite looking tricks, good job!
|
|
Thank you all sooo much! And thank you Payton's, Twelkers and Duncans for all of the pulls and hospitality over the weekend. that was such a blast. Also thanks to Derek Conway for helping me get way close again at the Delta Wakeboard Camp on thursday. (By the way, Shelby Kantar was there too that day, and landed two huge toeside backside 180s into the flats, her first time trying them.)-She's always been an inspiration for us, as have the Payton and Twelker kids, and Alex Scagliotti. And thanks Matt Norton for coming out on the boat and giving me the last tips I needed right before I landed it. Norcal and the whole entire wakeboarding community is full of so many bighearted people and I'm glad to be a part of it!

I can only say that is huge for Raequel and women’s wakeboarding. I am positive that it is the first in many more to come. I think the biggest thing you’re going to see from the Hoffman's is it landed in a contest run. How quickly they perfect new tricks is amazing and bringing the consistency to the tour pass is going to make a huge statement for them and the west coast.
|
|
Good job raequel!!!
|
|
THe night befor she over did one and look like she could have gone to 9 so I say that the 9 is coming soon. Killer chick you make us norcal foke proud keep up the good HARD work.

What amazed me about the video, beyond the smoothness of it, was her reaction. She took it in stride...yeah, I landed a 720...what's next?  When I land a first new trick I let out a scream, pump my first and smile like a fool and generally make an @$$ of myself. I guess the difference was she 'knew' she was going to land it...I'm always surprised that I land
|
|
that was smooooooth, ridiculously smooth
|
|
WOW Great job
|
|
she will have a 9 within a month
|
|
Don't look now, but Mr. Cortese threw up a blurb over on the front page of Alliance's website...baller!
Good stuff, you guys!
|
|
thats, so awsome looks like you have been doing them for years.
|
|
dang that wis sick! yah go for the 9! shes only 15?
|
|
that was crazy! great job on landing 720!!!!
|
|
That is amazing, she has a style of her own. She doesn't ride like most girls. Definately stepping it up for female wakeboarding. First girl to land a 9? I think so.
|
|
How old are the Hoffman sisters?
|
|
I think 19 and 17
|
|
no, raequel is 18 and shawna is 15 or 16....i think 15
|
|
raequel is 18 and shawna is 15.
|
|
See girlie, I told you it would work... despite the water in the camera you still got the footage - nice!!!!
|
|
That was soooo clean and massive! Congrats Raquel... now I wanna see it at the next comp!
|
|
Hey Stacy and Loren, this video is of Raequel's 2nd 720, that's why you don't see her celebrating.(Warning-if you haven't seen the vid, turn the sound down first. Three moms and sis screaming probably still has the guys ears ringing.) My fault for letting the camera get doused with water on Sat. Fortunately the Twelkers had us out Mon. with a boat load of awesome riders and videographer. Thanks so much Peter and Josh for posting this!
Loren, I'm still loving that pic you won the Diamond Mining contest with! Also check out Peter's pic of his daughter Allysa--super stylie! Girls are rocking wakeboarding!
No footage of Shawna's TS BS 180 because she shocked us and herself with it. Thanks Shelby K. & Derek for that!!
Thanks everyone for the comments! We are truly blessed to have so many great friends in this community!

holy poo! That is AWESOME!
|
|
hahaha i like how everyone starts screaming
good job Raequel!
|
|
is it me or did these girls just come out of no where?
|
|
Congrats Raquel!
|
|
Out of nowhere!!! These girls went from basic inverts to mobes and 7s in a year - to break through what seemed like a plateau in womens riding (with the exception of Dallas). I'm excited to see what happens next season on the tour with Shawna, Raequel, Amber, and Shelby all going for Dallas' spot. Exciting things are coming for these girls.
|
|
There is no question in my mind both girls will contiue with different 7's and onto the 9's. The love of the sport and progression is second to none. The are humble and truely appreciate everything that has come to them and the support that everyone has shown. I am proud to know the family and appreciate having them in the sport and on the West.
Keep up the great work girls! Look forward to seeing many more history making videos over the next few years.
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ YEA,what he just said!! The Hoffman girls rock!!
Buffalow, nice to see you back online, how is the baby?
|
|
Very Nice
|
|
Holy crap. It amazes me what some people have to boat on! Very nice jump, but man o man, we have canals bigger than that around here!
|
|
Shawn, that would be the world famous Dirty Delta.
|
|
This is Carla, I dont get on this thing often. But I am so happy for both Raequel and Shawna. Randy is right the girls take some super hard hits, over and over again to learn these tricks. and they are the sweetest girliest girls I know and love. Keep up the great work ethic,keep smiling,proud to know the Hoffmans one and all.
|
|
ok, so i watched the video again in slo-mo. notice the height she gets and how she over-rotates the 7 a bit. i'd say the 9 is coming soon!
|
|
maybe the girls have been hanging out with Barry Bonds
|
|
how dare you say that stuff about the hoffmans!!! i know what a shorty you are, bill...we're gonna fight!

Joe your right, but I think the 9 would come sooner if they had an Epic boat
|
|
Yea,
It's too bad Epic hasn't been able to provide these girls a boat that they promote all over their wake boards. Epic is missing out on some great advertising material. JMO.
Joe, get them a boat ASAP!
|
|
I thought they were identical twins,huh.....oh well,congrats on the 720,that is a huge trick!!
|
|
Congrats Raquel, your tearing it up!
|
|
Yeah.. Would have been nice to say that was behind an Epic.
I agree... get these girls a boat before Malibu or Mastercraft does!
|
|
that is tiiight!
|
|
What Joe, the girls have not gotten their Epic? Get on that right away. Dude you are supposed to be the marketing guru now!!
I won't buy an Epic if they do not get a boat!
|
|
...but will you buy an Epic if they do?
If not, then chill and let Joe do his own job.
|
|
atta boy Scott. BTW Speaking of Epic... SICK new ad in the Alliance mag this month with a great pic from Scott A. Congrats Scott.
|
|
Man, I've been dying to see this for days, but I can't get it to play. It just shows the first frame and is stuck there. Anybody help? I just updated Quicktime last night, but still no luck.
|
|
The movie needs to download to your PC so it is going to take some time. Patience Dr.
|
|
put it on youtube
|
|
she's even passing the last handle pass in instead of landing wrapped!!!
|
|
yeeeaaaah girls ! shredding .......
ripping ! pumped.
|
|
That is awesome!!!!!!
Congrats to both of you girls!
|
|
Way to go Raequel!!!
|
|
Here's a bigger and better version of the same video. It's Flash video (version 8), so playback should not be an issue.
http://www.thechickflick.com/videos.asp#videos
Many thanks to videographer Josh Twelker for letting us post up his video, Peter Twelker for driving the boat, and the following ballast buddies: Patty Twelker, Jeremy Twelker, Alan Hutchek, Teri Hutchek, Ejay Hutchek, Sebastian Mata, Gina Hoffman, Shawna Hoffman!
|
|
Thanks DCP, That is a much better video....Damn, that girl almost had to STOP rotating to get the 7.
Damn, I love the slow-Mo too!!
Very very impressive.
When is The Chick Flick II coming out anyway?? I have worn out my CF DVD already....
Sean
|
|
Josh T. might have a career behind the lense after his riding days. Nice work Josh
|
|
if she goes to a 9, would it be off a double up, or w2w?
why wasnt she trying 7's off a double up in the first place? wouldnt it be easier?
(Message edited by dnp33 on August 13, 2007)

Nice work Raequel! Good to have you in the sport. Shaun
|
|
sure they're easier of a double... but the landings are harder i'd think. Don't know really, but why go for easier when you can go legit? Nice work raequel!!!
