big worm

is that what its called? how do you do it?

A toeside Front Roll with frontside 540. Handle is rotated above the head. I don't know how to do it though. seems like a crow 5 with a grab.

its an ole crowmobe 5. its kinda like a whirly feeling just with your other hand.

It's basically like a toeside frontroll version of a whirly 5. Their sick to watch.

Trevor, you have to pass the handle on a Crow 5.

Dangit Taylor you beat me to it!

The late Todd Brendell could blast them reg. and switch. Ryan Davis was also pretty good at them as well.

They are sick to watch. Probably one of my favorite tricks to see. I was trippin out the first time I saw BG try one.

Brendell did some sweet Big Worms, Sean O'Brien does a great Big Worm as well.

If we are talking big worms we gotta put Brandon Johnson up there on the list! His worms are unreal.

Dan Bright has em now too!

andy, that's who comes to mind when big worms are mentioned. too bad he left the scene just as quickly as he entered it.

Big perm! .... I mean big worm. hahaha

Ant

Who?

i have whirlys on lock you think i should try one ?

Sean O'brien does them like none other as well.

SOB

OK?

About 3/4 into this video Josh Palma throws a nice Big Worm.

I used to pull Brannan Johnson back in the day down in West palm, he would come down and ride with Watson and I (when we lived there). He learned the Big Worm by having the driver make a sharp turn as he cut into the wake to release a little slack in the line. Actually this is a pretty cool way to learn a whirly as well. But he would stick them everytime that way, pretty neat way to learn a new trick. I tried it a few times but always ate it.

holy crap! a shaun moore sighting!

hahaha! How you doing Joe?

good man! how are you? in the wake industry or moved on to bigger and better things? you were at full sail w/ chase, weren't you?

Im at Full Sail still, but work here now. Try and get out and hit the water as much as possible. I would love to still be involved with the industry, but time just doesn't allow for much of that anymore. Traveling and puttin on demos is what I miss the most, meeting new riders that are stoked on the sport was always a great thing to see.

I have to admit, at the age of 29 i feel like a dinosaur now. I open a magazine and there are all these kids killin it and Ive never even heard of them! But the progression is just insane, I cant beleive what is being done now on the water. Some of this stuff we werent even thinking of a few years ago. Thats what is great about wakeboarding though, being able to be apart of it in its infancy!

Throwing the dumper.... That's the way to do it. That's why BG lands them when I drive. Shhh, don't tell anyone. Ha, ha, ha.

BG, where you at son?

he's prolly at the go-kart track in livermore...hahahaha

who invented the Big Worm? not that it really matters, I was just curious. I always thought it was Todd Brendel (RIP), but have heard Brannan Johnson was doing them before. Killer trick though. You don't see nearly enough of them anymore. IMO.

shaun, that's awesome man! i always wanted to check out full sail. the few times i went to florida i wanted to go...but i barely had time to sleep when i was there! haha!

yeah, the kids nowadays...they simply kill it out there! and yeah, they make me feel reeeeeally old! but at times, they push me and make me feel young again!

haha, I hear ya Joe!

Train, I may be mistaken... But I believe Ryan Davis may have been one of the first to do it. But Todd was also doing a Diesel which if i can remember correctly was the same thing but one less 180. Brannan seemed to have been doing them but I dont think he was credited with inventing it. But heck, who knows... i may be completely incorrect about everything i say on here.

thanks Shaun. maybe Seibring will know. does anyone know if Brooks Ferrel is still around filming? he probably filmed a lot of "firsts" in the industry back in the mid to late 90's, as far as tricks go.

there is a guy on the carlsbad lagoon stompin them...but we call it BIG PERM

Shaun,

I got the boat going good. If my classes let me, Hit me up to ride in the next couple of weeks.

i tried a few but always turned into a messed up ole' 5/crowmobe 450

I think Shaun's right. Davis is the first I remember. Late 96 I think. Todd had the worm and the diesel shortly after followed by Brannon.

Shaun - Long time old friend - check your email

Greg Falzon can do a switch big worm 9, its on the Australian movie Accidental.

Wow, thats impressive! Kid can ride.

sick osmosis 5s!!

Whoa, Shaun Moore. What happened to ya man? If memory serves correct I remember you and Watson hit the scene around the same time. I used to get you guys confused since both of yall were blowin' it up back then.

I wasnt the rider Shawn was, injuries plagued most of my would be wakeboarding career. So i decided to go to college. Still try and stay involved as much as i can.
