2) Tino Santori toe 900 w2w, blew are minds 2005
3) Soven whirly dick last hit 2006
4) Rusty massive nuclear glide 2005 and spraying every one on the shore when he landed

Rusty's switch roll to blind off the double up in water conditions that most of us couldn't do a wake jump in. Reno tour stop, year before last.

Rusty's Masters pass last year was the most impressive thing that I have seen live. On his first pass he did mostly spins, off-axis, on axis, backside, frontside, switch, HS, TS, and then on his return pass which I think they throw about 6-7 tricks,at least 4 of them had nuclear grabs in them (or seatbelt grabs for Joe). I have seen other riders string together tricks, but his run seemed very calculated, flawless and everything was big.

Technically, rusty's thing is a crail grab.

joe, you're KILLING me. ;) I don't even know where wakeboarding came up with their version of a seatbelt grab.

Steve Edwards doing the first w2w 900 in a comp. That was in 2000 at nationals in jr mens. I haven't followed jr mens since too much but that was a good trick for jr's back then. It might have been Robb Mapp but someone was doing blind 313's in thier pass too back then.

What about Harf "making it rain" in Dallas last year? Good thing he fell.

Those quiksilver retro boardshorts do NOT look cool in a wakeboarder... it just looks so funny! The trick looks cool though!

i'm with eubanks...harfs make it rain was nuts...all i could think when he left that kicker was holy crap hes about to wreck himself

Harf making it rain in Dallas was RIDICULOUS!!! I've never seen someone stay in the air for so long.

As for the grabs, I want to help clarify. On a regular-footed rider, grabbing the nose with your right hand is a nuclear grab. Grabbing the tail with your left hand is a seatbelt grab. Rusty is doing a nuclear up above. A crail grab is in front of your left toe with your right hand.

110outlet 06-05-2007, 9:23 AM

I was just gonna say that, he is doing a nuclear grab becasue hes grabbing the nose as well.

I won't argue it but I'm going by the grab definitions that are consistent with skateboarding, and not the "adjusted" grabs that were adopted by wakeboarding.

does anyone have a clip of the "make it rain?" I haven't seen it.

97 or 98 ski and surf expo- when parks threw an easily 30+ ft 'triple' whirly and then went straight down 'in' the water only to erect again with the handle.

I remember they posted a height meter that went up to 40 ft and everybody was like OK thats not neccessary- then all of a sudden parks came out went soaring into the air.

Grabbing the nose is NOT nuclear, regardless of the hand you use.

The above glide trick by Tony is a LEGIT nuclear grab.
