wow that was stomped. i have to say that is the nicest looking toe 10 i have ever seen. It wasn't hucked at all he was just in control the whole time, super smooth. I think it looked way cleaner than Rusty's 10s not taking anything away from rusty but damn that was smooth.

not to take anything away cause it was clean and stomped, but keep in mind that it looks like it was shot in 720p/60...helps to make it look smoother.

Other than the celebration at the end, it looks like he had done that 20 plus times. Super smooth. As far as Rathy goes, him getting wakeboarder of the year doesn't surprise me, he has been killing it.

I have some pics of wake awards I'm trying to post, but its telling me the server was accessed too often. Does that mean I spend too much time on Wakeworld :-)

While that is entirely possible, i'm guessing I need to compress them, whats the file size limit?
Thanks, I 'll try again

Wow, congrats to Rathy on the BS10 and Steele's W2W 10! That's awesome!

Wow, awesome...I feel like this was a down year for freeriding and videos but the progression really shocked me/snuck up on me and the competition riding was at an extremely high level...those two tricks are so gnarly!!!

What about Rookie of the year? Harley?

(alevitt) · (alevitt) **Join Date: Aug 2006** 08-20-2009, 11:27 PM

There is no Rookie of the Year Award; it's called the On Point Award which Bob Soven won. Harley won it last year.

Did anyone get to see footage of Tom Fooshee's Pete 7??

They have a rookie of the year on the PWT tho. Kyle Alberts won it last year in Reno. Did anyone get it this year?

Love the picture of Zane, Darin, Shaun, and Parks, that's squeezing a lot of talent into one pic.

Harley was Rookie of the Year and Tour Champion in Reno.

by the way, Congrats Rathy on a sick year!

(jarrod) · (jarrod) **Join Date: May 2003** 08-21-2009, 5:54 AM

Back side 9 and 1080 in the same year. What a PIMP!

(anthemwake) · (anthemwake) **Join Date: Oct 2005** 08-21-2009, 5:54 AM

Nice...I'm really into this new trend of keeping stuff top secret and then unleashing everything at Expo. Pretty cool...

(jarrod) · (jarrod) **Join Date: May 2003** 08-21-2009, 5:56 AM

Totally. I guess the announcer in Reno did kind of slip up though. He mentioned Rathy landing a backside 10. I assumed that he screwed up and meant 9. I bet he got a sharp elbow in the side for that one.

I liked Rewritten better than Out of the Pond........

(xistential) · (xistential) **Join Date: Jul 2007** 08-21-2009, 10:34 AM

He looked kinda nonchalant after he stomped it.

I think that was his 3rd one.

(txwakerider) · (txwakerider) **Join Date: Oct 2008** 08-21-2009, 11:36 AM

Rathy is a freak, he rides boat the way I jump on a tramp, it almost isn't fair.

Also I can't believe non of the guys have commented on the photos posted above ^^^... Dallas, can I have a date next time you come to Texas???
