He is blowing up! It seems like he is furthering himself from every one by being the best wakeboarder ever!! It reminds me of Parks back in the day no one can touch him!

Agreed....pushing the sport.

You watch him ride from the boat and he is just soooo super consistent. Makes it look so easy. W2W 10 next??

Yeah, he makes spinning look so easy. If you slow down his HS FS spins it's strange the way he just kinda "sits" into the spin and he has already passed the handle just after he leaves the wake. I wish he would do some type of tutorial on his spinning technique because I would love to try and duplicate it!

All the hard work he puts in is paying off, he is just killing it, congrats to you Rathy.

.... is the man!

I seem to recall a magazine headline a few years back when he was just getting with Hyperlite and before Counterfeit This... <BR> <BR>"Aaron Rathy: The Next One" <BR> <BR>Wow... they made a good prediction haha

Watched him freeride everyday when I was in Orlando for three weeks in May (stayed on the same lake). The kid simply didn't fall, stuck w2w 9's like it was going out of style. Almost surprised no w2w 10 yet after how easy he made the 9's look.

Ben- you saw that here. This was shortly after Rathy won the World Jr Men's title in 2004. It was pretty obvious the kid had loads of talent and drive way back then. <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/714044.jpg" alt="Upload">
