Seems like he might have slipped out at the end...cynical me.

There's no proof that he landed that, the video cuts out before he rides away from it!

Sketchy!

Just kidding, sweet move!

All you haters just wish you could throw a 9 :-)

Wakepics has been down, I'll post the whole run.

there is a problem with DNS, it should be fixed soon. My advice, never use register.com

I saw the 9, and its sick.

HEAVY..... Thats savage riding, hes attacking / charging that wake n killing it!!!

byerly137pro 07-16-2004, 8:22 PM

Thats insane, if he could connect every move he would be pro for sure (unless he already is). I hope I can become as god as him.

still not a 1080

(rson) · (rson) **Join Date: Jun 2002** 07-16-2004, 9:27 PM

He went to Flordia with some guys from here and competed in the Junior Mens division. He got 3rd in his heat :-(

That video was taken after all day of riding/lessons. He was hitting 9's consistantly all day.

so its still not a 10 and doesn't show him riding away

(rson) · (rson) **Join Date: Jun 2002** 07-16-2004, 10:06 PM

Are you watching the video?? he throws his fist up to cheer after riding away.

Who can throw a 10?

gw_mark 07-16-2004, 10:41 PM

I saw it, he landed it, he was stoked!!! I would be too.
How old is ol skippy?

(rson) · (rson) **Join Date: Jun 2002** 07-16-2004, 10:47 PM

Skippy is damn good, he is progressing exponentialy. They are out 4-5 days a week in the LSV....almost 600 hours on their few month old boat.

gw_mark 07-16-2004, 10:53 PM

Very good, no question about that, especially the time committed to riding, bound to get good with that kind of dedication.
So Rich, gonna answer the age question? Got a theory about age and fearlessness.

(rson) · (rson) **Join Date: Jun 2002** 07-16-2004, 10:56 PM

I am uhueemmmm, 29

Skippy????? 24-25?
Sasser about the same, maybe 26

gw_mark 07-16-2004, 11:05 PM

Wow I was thinking 18 or 19, that is way cool, I hope he can keep up the pace and in no time maybe he can make the pro tour, mad props.
Thanks Rich.

gw_mark 07-17-2004, 9:51 AM

Very sick riding, and yes he landed the 9. Take a look at the video.

Sheeeot, I can't even get the riders name correct I am not even going to try for the tricks.

The boat is a 2004 Wakesetter LSV, Qmls, lounge between driver and passanger, and full sac in front. He was at 85 out and going 23.5
