[Notice how it has been 2 months and still no Move of the Year Video? No, I'm not gonna let that go.]
Below are four videos. The first two videos are from 2009, and the last two videos are from 2011. You might notice that Dean Smith has progressed. But what you might notice is that Watson, Ruck and Sharpe are doing the same darn tricks this year as they were
two years ago!

Behind the boat these three Pointless members have shown no signs of progressing their bags of tricks. Ruck learned a Mute Double Roll 180 [
] however, he was cableboarding. I would almost say Watson and Sharpe have gotten worse (sorry). Then I see video of Murray from 2011 [
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmdnUF-pR24 ] and he's learned a ton of new tricks in the last two years. He's also older than Watson, Ruck and Sharpe!
It is up to them if they choose to let their riding go stagnant. Who I am to judge? Oh yeah, I'm a guy who has learned more new tricks than a bunch of pro wakeboarders did in the last 2 years.
The moral of this post is to keep pushin' yourself like Murray and don't give up like Sharpe, Ruck and Watson. But if doing the same tricks for more than two years is still fun to you, then that's good too
