My boy pulls this wheelie which looks pretty cool. Does this move have a name? <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/451763.jpg" alt="Upload">

manual...I think

05-22-2007 2:15 PM
I've always heard those called "tail blunts".

It's called "Make him hold that as long as he can &amp; have him try it on a Roam". Looks like he might be able to pull one off like Murray's, although Murray did it on the nose.

Manual

Shredding the GNAR!

I thought it was only a manual if you put a hand down on the water - hence the name.

05-22-2007 7:44 PM
Tail press, I though a manual was more of a skateboard trick.

From watching the footage, it doesn't look like Murray really rides the tail or nose, it's more like he puts the edge of the tail or nose into the water like a mini-rudder, and slices through the water. Am I wrong? Anyone have any pics?

hawk7 05-22-2007 9:17 PM
yea i see riders do that on the nose, i want some pics of that, this kid looks pretty good at that.

lfshane132 05-23-2007 9:37 AM

wheeeeeeeeeeelie!

To quote my personal hero, Mike Murphy. "Thats what we call hot doggin'!!!!" Did you know that Mike Murphy once did 763 back flips in a row on a Sky Ski? What did your hero do? Not 763 back flips!!! Thats right!!

ronnyboy27 05-23-2007 10:58 AM
Exactly how long does it take to do that many flips stephan?

eas 05-23-2007 2:10 PM
not sure what it's called but i know some guys that use it to slow down before they turn back into their cut...like after they do a raley and they are carrying a lot of speed. i think murray's is not the same thing....i saw shapiro do the tip edge thing in a video once on some glass....it was pretty sweet.

mkperceptions 05-23-2007 2:46 PM
I asked this before and I got the answer MANUAL but I have no idea how to pull it off because I want too. any tips?

jusstty 05-23-2007 5:09 PM
Wheelie!

dlwsrider 05-23-2007 7:05 PM
just lean back and push in really hard on your back foot, its fairly simple man

hawkeye7708 05-23-2007 7:23 PM
tail blunt. someties i've heard it called a manual, but its a tail blunt.

wakeslife 05-23-2007 7:24 PM
tail blunt or tail press sounds right to me.

stxr_racer 05-23-2007 10:37 PM
Rick...I'm da kid in the pic. Its pretti simple...i push the tail of my board down as hard as i can and at the same time i pull on the handle a little and lift my front foot up as high as i can...when i started to do them i just did them puny and worked my way up!! thanks everyone, now i no what it's called!...Regan

mkperceptions 05-23-2007 10:39 PM
