Just watched all the parts. WOW - some super Heavy riding in there.

Steel should be wearing the double up king crow this year, dang he was getting punted. So rad to see him pushing boat riding so hard.

Alex Graydon's ender was so jaw dropping, I bet I watched it 10 times in a row. Such high risk. I love his spinning style as well it's such a fresh take on spins and looks so cool, so in control.

Graydon is an insanely good wakeboarder. Not getting nearly the exposure deserved.

All the riding was insane, but IMHO Alex took this home easily... He kills it on rails and behind the boat! I may be a tad bit biased since I've known him for years and seen him come up, but he is a really good guy, great rider, and his style is unique to him. He had mentioned he'd been working on something special for the end of his part but I had no idea it would be that sketchy.

As for the other rider parts, all good riding in their own ways, but honestly I got a bit tired seeing d-up hits only behind boats. It seems like all boat riding parts were just d-ups with the exception of a few hits. There were some huge hits with insane tricks, but I guess I prefer more of the "less than 5" format.

Props to all the riders for their hard work and dedication to the sport, but I would like to see Graydon win because that kid deserves the exposure!

Can't believe OKa's Backmobe 7 hasn't been mentioned yet, unreal

I wish Graydon's entry was a full video part long.
There seriously needs to be an Art of Flight/Where the Trail Ends/We are Blood style wake movie

Alex Greydons crash against that dock with the back of his head & neck smashing into it first could have killed him or paralyzed him easily. Scary stuff.
