With all of the wakeboarding industry and different sponsors out there.....why don't you throw another zero on the 1080 cash prize and really entice the pros to go for it? I would if I had the resources. 1080 doesn't sound like much of an incentive.

haha.... dont even worry about it.... there are plenty of people out there can do it if they REALLY wanted to.

but make it 10k and I know two of those possible people that can do it will do it!

dsmalls, how much are you giving to the rider that lands it first?

I'll throw in an extra $50! <BR>

yo fu! how 'bout you contribute to the "help joe get an xl-2" fund???? heh??? think you can write it off as charity? <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/lol.gif" border=0>

nevermind... my $50 just went the to "Umali xl-2" fund... sorry guys. <BR> <BR>

haha. Fu he has a long way to go for the XL-2. send it my way for a 70-200 f2.8l is

my buddy matt sims is busting his balls trying 10s at least a couple days a week

Ill take the $50 for the get blair a boat fund... <BR> <BR> <BR>$49,950 to go

Is Matt coming pretty close? I talked to a freind of his and he said that he has stuck the landing a few times but couldnt ride away with the handle. True?

lol... OK $50 for Joe to capture the 1080 on his Xl2 - $50 to AntBug if you get the seq and $50 to Blair if it's your boat driving the 1080... <BR> <BR>

AntBug, <BR> <BR>I'll contribute to that fund! <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/wink.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>-Amy <BR>

Ev- lets go ride b4u head out! By the way I got that 1080 in the bag.... or uhhh 180

ok fu you buy the boat for me and ill drive it... <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/biggrin.gif" border=0>

When it does happen, what approach do you think the 1080 is going to landed from? I'm thinking toeside but something tells me that it might be hucked heelside with a backside rotation. I don't see this trick being landed heelside with a frontside rotation anytime soon. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by gherk on August 24, 2005)

why not frontside? more pros are landing hs and ts 9s frontside than there are pros landing backside 7s.

I can see it toeside, but not heelside considering the momentum will probably throw you on your toeside edge and into the water. But then again there is probably too much momentum either way. I just hope that when we do see it, its a clean 1080 without a sketchy landing. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by gherk on August 24, 2005)

Lets get a pool together to help push the issue. I'll pay the co-payment for the doctor visit ($10 max) or donate my insurance card to be used at your discretion.

I'm sorry I'm just not very interested in seeing a 1080. Obviously it's hard as hell but it certainly doesn't look very cool. So we get a sequence of Soven or Harf (the ones with a chance) and then what? a third guy has landed it, whoopty-do. <BR> <BR>Ant, congrats on the lens, I wish I could meet somone on the internet to buy me crazy expensive camera stuff. Joe you damn surprise wrecker!!

i didn't wreck anything!

Hahahahaha, yes you did! Surprise wrecker! <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/rofl.gif" border=0>
