The only indoor System 2's are at that show (Toronto) and the London boat show. It must be the first indoor double invert, because my spies in London didnt report anything. He didn't ride away for 5 seconds like the rulebook says, but he stuck it for sure.
"Seriously. Whats the differens between indoors and outdoors?"
That's just it. This video shows that there is no difference. You can practice almost any wakeboard trick indoors, which is nice if you don't live in Florida.
not even landed? rode away for 5 seconds? You guys are rediculous, its the length of a hockey rink! and he had about 20ft to try and swing around. Anyone who has rode a 2.0 knows it can be tricky to swing around on even smaller tricks! I was there to see him do it!
Christian Primrose will be a name in the future of wakeboarding! Awesome job Christian!
maybe landed.. not stomped.. all 5 of those seconds 'rode away', he was sideways.. thats not really riding away. put this guy behind a cable with some runway and landing room, and he's got it, no prob.
Well I'm just a beginner and never even rode indoors, but to my eye the difference is that the rope seems to be pulling upwards more than on a boat. The vector forces therefore would differ. Maybe I'm wrong. And also to my eye the rope speed drops dramatically after the jump, again making it easier on the recovery. I'm a boat/outdoors enthusiast that is trying to learn wakeboarding so I'm biased, but they just don't seem the same. That is in no way to diminish the skill of Christian in doing it.
Yeah characteristics of a 2.0, high pull. It is easier for people to learn raleys'n'stuff. lots of people wanting to learn double s bends will try a few on a 2.0 first.
When indoors the characteristics can be exaggerated as the pool is most of the time narrower so the line has to be a bit shorter to stop people flying out the pool. which makes the line steeper.
The 2.0 at the london boat show was rigged up onto the showroom ceiling and it was really high with quite a short rope. My mate won the kicker section of a comp they had there and he was saying it was really hard for any handle pass tricks.
The most highlighted trick of the week at the london boat show was james young doing a 118-9 (double hintenberger to fakie or reverse double s-bend to fakie)
Have no idea how much easier/harder it is for double inverts though. There do seem to be a few vid's popping up of people doing them.
Nothing better than talking zim-zams and toeside scarecrow super S bend to blind to bounce 360's to tumbleturns to crow mobe. This double frantrum, or scrantrow, or scrantrum, or taintscow sure looks legit to me. Perfect. 2L! 2L2Q!!! I mean HAMMERTIME am I rite? Also, snobs, last time I checked, variants of all cableboarding milestones are legit as long as they're done with the rider being pulled almost directly vertical while being hucked off a 5-foot kicker?

Let's see you do better Mr. perfect.Show us all how to stomp it and ride away.
Oh my God. Seriously are you trying to correlate legitimacy here? By showing that?
...because that Rusty hsbs9... is absolutely hsbsbananas-frikking amazing. I know my leanings have been made clear but... GQ/Cisco, what point are you trying to make?
Or are you trying to wind people up (in which case I am supportive)?
I cant believe he landed that INDOORS! Must be some trick videography in this, obviously you guys don't ride your sideways water boards enough to know that it is a lot harder indoors. (Pun intended everywhere).
I'm not trying to legitimize the double by showing Rusty's 9. I'm just trying to point out that riding away sideways is still riding away. And yes, I am trying to wind people up.
Show us all how to stomp it and ride away.
