Aaron Rathy landed a KGB 540 wake to wake while filming for our new video! It was super clean , and probably one of the coolest things ive seen done! Congrats rath!
|
What?! Alright... Is this like invent a new trick week or something?! Nice work Rathy...!!! Lets see that vid!
|
What video will it be for??
|
HELL YEAH! Congrats to Rathy laying down Hammers!
|
Honestly I thought Murray landed those already. Could be wrong though
|
I believe ricky g has landed some and chad sharpe too, but still a sick trick, definitely one you don't see too often
|
sweetness!! soven's crow 7 and now a KGB5, awesome congrats rathy!!! Jimmy, whats the scoop on this new video? Team video?
|
I've seen wrapped....he prop did a handle pass one....which would look WAY WAY more amazing <BR> <BR>Congrats!
|
Yes, Murray has landed this trick before, so has Sean O'Brien, I'm sure you can find video of it on Orlandowake. I think a number of riders have landed it. If you remember last year (I think) Murray got knocked out cold at a comp, that was a KGB540 attempt. If he had in his contest run, you know it was solid. Still, fantastic job by Aaron, congratulations!
|
Murray does them wrapped. SOB was the first to land it handle passed- off the double up. Rathy must be the first to do it wake to wake.
|
Right on Paul!
|
Cool thx for clearing that up and ya Im pretty sure it was a KGB5 that murray got knocked out on
|
Murray did get knocked on on a 'wrapped' KGB-5.
|
Crazy looking move! Here is the video of Sean O'Brien doing it off the double up back in 2005... <BR> <BR><a href="http://wakeworld.com/Galleries/GetImage.asp?GalleryID=320&ImageID=44" target="_blank">http://wakeworld.com/Galleries/GetImage.asp?GalleryID=320&ImageID=44</a>
|
that was sick. can't imagine what rathy's looks like W2W.
|
Sean O'Brien is awesome. Thanks for posting up the video, can't wait to see Rathy's.
|
I saw SOB bail on a KGB he got booted on that he could have taken to 720- pretty sure he bailed because he got caught up between the regular KGB and the 540. Realized he could easily take it to 540, just didn't. On that same set he bailed on a 900 that could just of easily have been a 1080. <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>He's good.
|
Oh! Congrats on the last tour stop! Starting to put up some good runs that are getting you more then that underground exposure your known for!
|
The KGB which has always been an ugly trick IMHO. I'd rather see a handle passed roll to blind but that definitely added the cool factor to that trick. I look forward to seeing Aaron's too, I'll bet he just powers thru it.
|
Tootsie Roll is an Ugly trick. That KGB5 is bad ass!
|
Congrats Rathy, Jimmy, stoked on your ride yesterday, solid man.
|
Some make the KGB look good. Andrew has a cool looking grabbed KGB, but in general I agree with rich.
|
Who cares about KGB5s??? <BR> <BR>ide MUCH rather see a BS 180 into the flats..LOL <BR>sry i had to. <BR> <BR>that is sick. congrats Aaron! cant wait to see the vid!
|
It's not ugly imo, it's crazy, in my book, crazy= awesome. also, imo, a heelside prog. backroll 2 blind [late] is the ugliest trick in the sport, but different something for somethin else... ya know? <BR> <BR>Paul, I didn't understand your accronym at first...
|
I've seen Murray land it at Boardstock at the Delta
|
murray did his wrapped. i saw the same one you saw J...im not positive but i think ricky g has done one handle passed
|
That is the coolest looking trick I think I've seen.
|
I think it's so cool that these guys hit stuff like this and then send the video right to us so that we can bring it to the fans!! Phillip did it the other day with his melan crow 7 and now Aaron Rathy does it with his KGB 5. Enjoy! <BR> <BR><a href="http://wakeworld.com/galleries/getimage.asp?galleryid=600&imageid=10" target="_blank">http://wakeworld.com/galleries/getimage.asp?galleryid=600&imageid=10</a>
|
damn! he landed it as if it was a warm-up trick! <BR> <BR>nice work rathy!
|
Rathy is as cool as the other side of the pillow when he nails tricks....sick
|
yeah that definitiely looks more like an ole bs 900 than a kgb 540, if you look he does the first handle pass over his head <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>just playin
|
He definitely made it look good. That was impressive.
|
Nice. It was nice to see it from that angle too. I don't see how Rathy kept from smiling after sticking that so clean. Looked like he had done it 100 times.
|
brian reeder got close to a handlepass kgb 5 at wake the lake in north carolina
|
Awesome! Jimmy mentioned that it was for a new video, anyone know which one??
|
that was 100% legit! <BR>its awesome to see a new trick landed that nobody can dispute the name! <BR> <BR>then after he landed it was just like 'whats up? no big deal, i do it all the time' <BR> <BR>technically not new, but in a new way. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by dnp33 on June 03, 2008)

I'm pretty sure it is a video Adam E., Phillip S., Aaron R. and Jimmy L are putting together. Adam made a post about it awhile back.
|
I want to say it is called "The Chronicles of Gnarlia"
|
They were thinking of calling it that, but then someone mentioned a snowboarding video has already been called that, so they decided to re-think the name
|
they were filming today and bob soven landed a tantrum FS 3
|
I just got a text from Jeff Weatherall and he said that Dean Smith just landed one out in the flats! Harley Clifford caught it on video, so we'll have that for you soon. Again, how cool is that?
|
Dean reckons, he'll be able to land a kgb 7 soon. <BR>apparently he over rotated on a kgb 5 attempt and got excited. <BR> <BR>I reallly hope he does.
|
a tantrum fs 3? thats crazy! isnt it called a brisky dick. i thought the only person to land that was dave briscoe
|
A brisky dick? Please!!! Let's make trick names a little more gay, shall we?
|
Its called the billion dollar baby! Bob soven took the initiative to name it.. He grabs it nose before he passes the handle, its unreal looking. We will post video of it soon!
|
Here is Dean Smith's KGB 540: <a href="http://wakeworld.com/galleries/getimage.asp?galleryid=600&imageid=14" target="_blank">http://wakeworld.com/galleries/getimage.asp?galleryid=600&imageid=14</a>. Thanks to Dean, Harley Clifford, Jeff Weatherall and Austin Hair for bringing this clip to you!
|
Damn... That's pretty big!
|
For sure! <BR> <BR>I would really like to see it grabbed though.
|
That was insane!! Was that the trick he was trying in the double or nothing competition this year??
|
This is kind of like the story behind the original KGB, a race to see who could land the KGB 5 W2W first.
|
To right Stephen, i wonder if Rathy or Dean were aware of each others attempts? <BR> <BR>...Hows Deans knees? he seems to do everything rather large and with a raley cut.
|
dean's = twice as big and just as clean.
