post your best trick

so this might of already been asked lately but who really progressed this season. i mean like what tricks did u have in the spring and what did u learn during the summer?

big hs indy pokes into the flats

deep water start

I learned that when you case a TS backroll and catch an edge, you really get the Sh@$ knocked out of you.

wearing shorts over my wetsuit.

in all seriousness, i didn't learn anything new this year. i just concentrated on learning how to ride again. the best thing this year has been the number of cool people i've met thru wakeboarding!

i guess if i were to pick a best trick, it'd be me coming close to a "legit" batwing.

joe ~lol it didn't even take one day for you to use that line. I knew it was comming.

beginning of season i could only do simple grabs, wake to wake, this year i got a new four winns bowrider, and i can land Tantrums, and almost a 360, i just can't manage to get ahold of the rope after spinning. Wish we could have got a wakeboard boat, but $$$, aswome summer, can't wait till next seaon to try out my new 04 Absolute Platinum 141

I finally landed an invert this season (scarecrow)
I was very happy about that.
In the spring I mainly had grabs and 180's.
Only negative is that I seem to have gotten less consistent on 360's...

Ah well, can't wait for next season!
We got our first snow last night, so it's time to change modes now to skiing

Eric, That's awesome that your first flip was a scarecrow.

Thanks J-Rod, the crow was just the most natural feeling to me (I prefer to flip forward & land on my heelside...)
Now if I can only get over my fear off flipping backwards I know I can get a tantrum and backroll...

If you can land a crow, you can easily land a tantrum or a backroll.

Yeah, I keep telling my brain that!!

My best trick was to become the ultimate boat ho that you see before you today. My new favorite is a HS Melan late 180, it's really fun.

ts tail grab bs 3's, and that when you make a big ollie on rail, make sure that you ollie on.

Nice Andy!

I landed my first raley this year. I've tried at least 100 tantrums but haven't landed one. My first "invert" was a raley. What's up with that?! Oh, I also landed a wraped 3.

Steve Hilcherchercher dominates the nosegrab b-rolls off the dub. I actually saw him perfect the nose grab one and a half off the dub at Parker, Arz. Your the man Steve, lets ride this week.

This was my first real season ever riding kinda. Started in the spring. I learned a tantrum, scarecrow, 360 but lost it somehow. some grabs and 180's. And i landed a krypt the other day. (before a raley) it was weird. but i dont have my own boat so damn. i surf a lot so i picked it up real fast. Good stuff.

oh yea....my best trick would probably be a nice tantrum.

my best would be

270 fs shuv on front lip fs shuv off

begininning of the season I had a few basic grabs and W2W down. Now I am getting tons more height on my w2w, have my hs 180(W2W) almost dialed,ts 180 1 wake, and switch hs 180 1 wake. Also my switch is starting to feel more natural. Next season is hopefully going to be full of new spins, maybe an invert or two, and start getting serious on my ts w2w.

hey kyle, if your serious about progressing, and have some extra cash this next summer, check out www.westcoastcamps.com

Landed something very weird. We have a bunch of really good boarders out here in Hawaii and nobody seemed to know what it was called. I landed a REVERSE S-Bend on accident the first time. However, when my buddy told me to try it again, I landed it again.

Hit the wake with a railey edge, then lay it out, after you lay it out fully, then keep on rotating it like you are stargazing, but go all the way around and then pull it back in.

So would you all call that a reverse s-bend?

SICK! We need to see that on video.

Ole 313?

So would you all call that a reverse s-bend? A laid out backroll? Actually they have a name for it over in Germany, but I forgot what they called it.

Found it... "Hinterberger"

http://www.sheffieldcablewaterski.com/Wakeboardtricks.aspx

S-Bend (BS Raley with 360o body rotation inwards while in the body ext. pos.)

Hinterberger (BS Raley with 360o body rotation outwards while in the body ext. pos.

interesting.

Damn ,That's a gay name! Oh well, I don't do them anymore because I have taken some nasty diggers from the "HINTERBooger". It's a blind trick for me because I ride goofy. I've come around a few times and took the trick low and got knocked the F*ck out!

I have done that before, i thaught that it was a reverse s-bend as well. Basically when I did it, I would cut at the wake with a raley/hoochie edge and insted of pushing my feet straight back and up off the wake, I pushed the nose of the board forward and up, making me spin backside. I would say that, at least the way that I was doing it on video, that is a a really f-ed up lookin backroll. Like a roll that you through your feet away from the boat way to much, like almost a flat spinning roll. I was doing it on accident when I was punkin out on hoochies. I have it on video I will try to find it. Everytime I did it I thought I was gunna die.

Here, I made this specially for this thread.
This is one i did. http://www.wakepics.com/view_single.php?medid=12805

Jeremy, DUDE that rocked man! Like I said, I landed it the first two times (once on accident, other on purpose), then tried them every now and then so that my friends could laugh at me while getting knocked out. I figured it get's boring watching someone doing the same inverts, 180's, and grabs. So why not make a fool of myself.

Andy, I'm with you on the "I was gunna die"!!!

that was awesome. Ouch

with all due respect, i've done that crash many times. (and yes, i too thought "i was gunna die.") to me, it's not really a new trick, but more like a fundamentally incorrect raley attempt.

flame on.

Keith your quote is so true. Jeremy, you should work on doing that a few more times. Looks like you could land that.

heh heh heh, thanks Pierce. Hey man, how you like that Tige wake? I rode on my buddy's 21 Tige with the TAPS on 7 and the ballast loaded, WITH a bunch of people in the boat and thought it was the biggest wake I had EVER SEEN!!!!!!! I threw a basic tantrum off the start and said "Hi" to God for a few seconds.

Anyway, back to the thread!

Keith I love it. Its got the shape that works for me, litte bit of ramp and a little bit of steepnees that I like. The surf wake is huuuge!

The GCL! We dont relly know what it is but its been done!

Jared, thanks for the props. The backroll & a half made me talk funny for like three days, I even started pronouncing my name Hiltchererberger. I'm down to ride, Ryan & I hit it yesterday(perfect conditions), but he booked south 2day for his sisters wedding. Hit me up.

Joe, I would say it's a new trick if you mean to do it. And just to clear things up. The video above was NOT supposed to be anything other than a raley. It just all went horribly wrong. I obviously didn't cut through the wake. Which ended in tragedy. OK, maybe not tragedy but that did hurt like hell. So did the other attempts that looked just like it.

If you take the hinterberger and take off switch i know a lot of people who do that but actually land toeside it does not look like a half cab roll but it is, by technicality by no means is it a normal half cab roll. If you watch shapiros or brent starrs they do them like that. And Andy Nintzel A ts. bs tailgrab 360 is extremely impressive. If you dont mean frontside a lot of people get it mixed up because you can land frontside wrapped blind so people assume backside.

Gotta agree with that. In a tailgrab backside three it seems like it would be hard to get the handle. I've only done indy. Looks like it's time to step it up!

You have video of that Andy?

Oh yeah I guess I'll contribute. This is one of the first ones I landed two years ago. Sad to say I haven't progressed much. Fun trick when you land it clean. Not so fun when you over rotate.

Kevin..... do you know this guy?

Blabel, maybe i'm confused but isn't that actually a frontside spin?

Nope, turning away from the boat.

jeremy, point taken. my bad.

you're cheating blabel - that's wrapped! ;) sheesh, wish i could even come close to that. i was trying half-cab ts bs 180s, but never quite got 'em.

Cool shot of Bird. Did you shoot that Poon?

J-Rod: Yes, that was taken last weekend.

Where was that shot taken?

Toeside backside is the funest spin there is, hard and tech, but the pay off is dope!

Bird, I mean BACKSIDE!

I'm pretty sure that shot was taken at Shasta.

Stockton Channel?

speaking of TS BS. I know Colin Harrington does a 5, but has anyone done a 7?

Kevin is riding Hyperlite now?

J-rod I don't think so, that would truly be amazing, I would say more amazing than any 1080.

I'll contribute to this thread: I landed a handful of grabbed 3's this season, and a handful of ts backrolls.

i think that people are doing off-axis ts bs spins but I dont think that I have ever seen anyone do it flat spin style.

I was in awe when I saw Harrington do the 5, I ca't imagine the 7! Not sure I care to though... the 5 looks like it's just at the point where it's jerky enough to start loosing style.

Harrington does a wake to wake flat toeside blind 540 only person ive ever seen do it off the wake. Harris does is off double up and as far as i know no one has ever done a seven but check out relentless i thinbk shane could do it off axis for sure he has to stall out his 5. Andy that is very impressive.
