Just wanted to post my mate who 35, turning 36 in april just landed a double sbend on the cable on his 3rd attempt!

Super stoked for him and proof that it doesnt matter how old you are! He only started cable couple years ago. This year hes also got his whirlybird. So no more excuses for the older guys :-)

Will get some footage today and post up. Please no cable haters respond to this, anyone who has ever tried a double sbend at cable knows how much of a risk it is to learn that trick, especially over 30!

I am 39 I am still going to keep that excuse in my pocket. You youngins leave me alone. John tell Kyle you use to work at Forte's.

Congrats to him.

I like to have that excuse also. I will turn 41 soon and I have to say there is definately a HUGE difference between 35 and 40 . When I was 35 (started wakeboarding) I still felt invincible like I did when I was 25. After 5 years of beatings on a wakeboard at my age it starts to take it's toll.

I know Doug Schumacher has been doing double s-bends. He must be in his 40's by now. It's been a while since I've seen him ride. Congrats to your friend. That's a nice achievement.
