XGames Real Wake 2016
 

Real Wake edits are live on XGames.com, I'm in the midst of watching them all right now. Anybody else watching and what are your thoughts? Just finished Dom's edit and it was heavy!

Here's the link so there's no excuse to not watch these. After watching them all back to back, I didn't see one clear winner/favorite, so I guess I'll have to watch them a couple more times ... :)

Also happy/surprised to see Harley's wasn't obviously missing content due to the injury

Yeah these are all sick!!!

Just finished all of them and I have no idea who to vote for lol

I love this contest, but its totally subjective. My takeaway is that pure boat riders really dont have a chance at winning this. If creativity and doing/showing things not done previously on a wakeboard are the main criteria (my opinion based on last years results) then I give it to Dom. BP and Abadie for the 2nd/3rd spot.

Idk man
Twelker's part was prettttyyyyy steezy!

These were all good this year. So much better than last years stuff. I'm going with BP although Steel and Twelker were close calls too.

BP and Twelker were the best in my opinion. So sick.

Twelker is my vote. His boat riding was by far the best. Everything was unique. And he showed a diverse range of skills with boat and winch. The only thing he didn't have was a double. BP stomps it.

Last year it was proven by Mike Dowdy's part that you can absolutely crush it behind a boat harder than anyone ever has in the history of the sport, and still not win. One form of riding is not enough. So if you're show casing skills that don't include boat, I don't see why that would be any different.

I agree. BP was my choice. He hit the streets, boat and cable park. Killed it with all of them.

Thought it was funny that Dominik took Harley's ender and added a huge drop to disaster.

Couldn't even make it through Harley's.

I loved all the sections. Such good riding, next level! I am going to be outlier on this one and give it Steel, just loved his whole section.

He may have compromised. He blew out his knee during the filming for this.

Cool videos! Thanks for sharing the link!

I vote for the anti-tobacco videos that you have to watch before EVERY video!

Ad blocker is a magical thing

Predictions???

+ I thought Harley's edit this year was much much better than last's.

Steel's part was my favorite, Twelker would be a second choice.

As far as variety goes, BP destroyed every element. I was also really impressed with Twelker's winch riding, and of course his boat riding was insane.

WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER

Lol, i watched it live on ABC on Saturday and i was kinda disappointed with the outcome. I really thought josh twelker had the most unique riding of all of them, everyone else had the same tricks (double half cab, same old 7s), not only that but the way he would land butter sliding on concrete was dope! And he had broken ribs almost the whole time they filmed his part.
