I just found this video and this is freaking crazy! I don't know how Chase does some of this stuff. I know James Walker has done something similar, is that right? Well here is the link

wow. that is sick. not what i thought when i heard shuv revert, but badass for sure.

Chase is truly one of the best wakesurfers, period - that body varial at the end is sick! James was doing a shuv to switch backside at the last INT contest in Gerber, so they were 15 at the time? Chase has really stepped it up with the body varial addition.

Mitch, what is it called then? I'm terrible with these trick names. Usually I ask Frye for help, but you may become my new goto guy.

Who else has pulled this off? I'm sure Drew has done something like this or this, but anyone else on a surf style board?

Josh Sleigh. It's interesting to watch folks come into the "fold". If you can find some of the old'er clips that the MoB Group posted you can see Josh land that. Wasn't that up in Disco Bay, JL? Chase would have been there too. Josh also has that "Sack Lunch" which is killer...Josh is the king of aerial and body varial combo's.

Anyone got links to the videos? That would be fun to watch.

Check the early days Salad Trees and Salad Trees 2. I think the intro to Salad Trees shows Josh landing the Sack Lunch on a SS Thresher and "I believe" Josh lands the trick described above in ST2 - he's riding the darkside.

Who names these tricks? Funny stuff

I "think" that sack lunch name was the result of a contest in Surfer (or maybe it was Surfing?) Magazine - sheesh more years ago than I can remember. It was a "name this trick" contest featuring Josh and I think the winner got either Josh's thruster or a replica of it. It was prior to his Placebo board days. That's going to drive me crazy now, I'll have to go find that magazine! :-)

I found a reference to that trick - and I messed the whole thing up! :-)

That's really impressive trick. Now to qualify that comment, I still can't pull a darn 3.

That is a shuv followed by a surface back side 180 and then ended with a body varial.....whatever you want to call it very impressive to say the least!!!!!!
