Lots of guys can do wrapped 9's, but does anyone on here know of anyone trying a wrapped 1080? Just curious..

i've seen a few videos of wrapped 7s. have yet to see a wrapped 9... got any video? was it wrapped around almost twice or wrapped once and handle passed on the second?

wraps are sick but when you look at a guy like brian hutton spinning it kinda shows that inorder to getthere theres no need for a wrap. <BR>but im gunna guess there will be attempts sumday thatll be sick to because they can grab the entire first 3

Hutton spins like a top. Watched him stick 2 7s and a 9 in one set over the weekend.

agreed j-rod watchin him in the DU comp was enough for me i wish i stuck around and rode on sunday so i could have seen a lil bit of his free riding

KYLE MURPHY DOES A TS WRAPPED 9, BUT I DON'T HAVE A VIDEO OF IT...PRETTY SURE VANDALL HAS A HS WRAPPED 9 TOO...62LINCOLN, CAN YOU CONFIRM??

I'm pretty sure there is a wrapped 9 in transgression

murphy does a wrapped 9 in the video "Authentic". And his part in that video is DOPE!

Randall does a wrapped HS 9 off the double up and a wrapped TS 9 off the wake in Transgression and Drive.

water dork, <BR> <BR>I dont think any body ever wraps twice, sounds like a good way to get jacked.

well for someone that doesnt know what they are doing. yes. but for a professional i could see it happening

SOUNDS LIKE WE COULD VERY WELL SEE A WRAPPED 1080 IN THE NEAR FUTURE. PERSONALLY, I CAN'T WAIT. LETS JUST HOPE ITS DONE WITH A LEGIT GRAB. <BR>ANY PREDICTIONS ON WHO WILL DO IT FIRST?? AND JUST FOR KICKS, DOES ANYONE AGREE THAT THIS FEAT COULD BE CONSIDERED A LITTLE MORE GNARLY THAN A HANDLE-PASS 1080?? HAHA HERE WE GO....

I LOVE CAPS LOCK!

CAPS LOCK IS AWESOME. IT REALLY EMPHASIZES WHAT I NEED TO SAY!

SORRY andy, my job requires i type in capital letters...so sometimes, especially on forums, PEOPLE THINK THAT I CAN NOT CONTROL THE TONE OF MY VOICE AND THAT I AM ALWAYS YELLING...when really, I am just too lazy to hit capslock.

sorry had too-

If anyone is gonna land it...Ever...Its gonna be Randall. Most of his spins are wrapped and he goes the bigger than most riders so it just makes sense for him to throw the other 180 in there first

Is Randall even in the hunt? I don't doubt that he can do it wrapped, it just seems like he rides for the sake of style. He would have to throw a grab in there to make it a legit trick for him.

He tried a wrapped 9 and got close on in this vid. <a href="http://videos.wakeboardingmag.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=664&amp;title=2007_Parks__D ouble_or_Nothing_Competition" target="_blank">http://videos.wakeboardingmag.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=664&amp;title=2007_Parks__D ouble_or_Nothing_Competition</a>

as much as i would like to see it. i think it will be a while just because i dont think there are any professionals that are motivated to work on that specific trick.

Haha... so true water dork, so true. <BR> <BR>a trick that's more irritating to land, AND worth less in terms of style points (unless it's Randal, and he's grabbing the WHOLE THING like he tends to do)...

Just to clarify, a wrapped 9 or wrapped 10 would only be wrapped for the 1st rotation right, you still have to handle pass for the 2nd or 3rd rotation right!?

looking at this as if you dont count handle passes in the front. and the each spin would be entirely wrapped <BR> <BR>on ts wrapped 360s, 540s, and 720s. it would only be wrapped a half. if you look at it in the sense that you wrap your arm around your back the other half. <BR> <BR>900s, and 1080s would have the rope wrapped all the way around the body one and a half times <BR> <BR>i think thats right... feel free to correct me <BR> <BR>as of yet i have only seen people try to do a wrapped 9 with only the half wrap plus a handle pass. as sick as that trick is. i'd like to see someone do a 9 full and a half wrapped.

water dork, please don't encourage people to wrap the rope around themselves 1-1/2 times. Thats just asking for it, and by the time you unwind there would be nothing left to speak of regarding style or control. Hope someone gives this a try though, it'd be cool to see another type of 1080 go down.

if a pro wants to try it then i'm all for it. i enjoy watching different variations of spinning. wrapping it 1-1/2 times means that they can grab it one way. let go and choose to grab it again. now that just sounds rediculous, but its possible.

If you wrap the rope around your body 1.5 times your just gonna get yanked over aren't you... its hard to get your head round without having a handle in front of you! At the least I know if i ever tried to wrap the rope round 1.5 times before doing anything I would fall immediately!
