Another 1080? - Robin friday?

I know Robin was rumored to have stuck one at TSR but I was just reading the interview with Dallas and she said how she had watched him landing his 1080 @ owc on video.

"While in Newark I got online to watch the video of my brother Robin landing the 1080 off the kicker at OWC. I was so jealous and proud. I must have watched it 10 times."


Anyone know where the vid is at? would love to see it. Congrats to Robin!

yah i saw that video and some other guy did a b/s 900 but i dont remember where i saw it at. sorry ill try to remember. no effense to robin im mean that is amazing but i think it is harder to land it on a boat.

way harder. not the same trick

if it's any consolation, we saw him come real close MANY times to landing a hs10.

Julian Cohen did the b/s 9 and then later landed a 10.

I think we are going to start seeing lots more of them...usually once one person does it then the flood gates start to open

Bess - it's on WBM's site.. Here's the link: http://www.wakeboardingmag.com/video.jsp?ID=819

it was at the slider spectacular at owc during the best trick part of the comp...julian cohen landed a backside 9 then robin immediately afterward landed a true 1080...i was there and julian never landed a ten, he rotated too early off the kicker to make it a 900

i think it still is a 10 coz he cut toeside to the kicker
i think it would be alot harder to cut into the ramp on your heels and spin a backside 9

Julian did NOT do a 1080. It was a Butter-backside 900, different than an straight backside 900. Like doubleup dan said "it would be alot harder to cut into the ramp on your heels and spin a backside 9"

M S(tonka).... you might want to check your facts before you post information. Jullian did land a 1080.... The only reason he didnt win was because they said he spun a little bit off the ramp. But it is still counted as a 1080 and if you look at OWC's website, its says Jullian and Robin are both members of the 1080 club.

Haven't the cable riders been "out spinning" the wake riders for a while now? Not to discredit, but I want to say it's a little easier than spinning behind a boat.

completly agree with you J-rod... I would say spinning on the cable is easier, but a 1080 is still prety darn hard!

nice profile Chris. I hope you made the ollie back to the water!

just like dan said, julian did not land a 1080, i was there, he cut in heelside, began the rotation on the kicker then used that spin momentum to carry out the backside 900.

read that, it says exactly what i just said, not a 1080 but still way more than i can do and still pretty impressive, but not 1080 impressive

i'm not anywhere near close to landing a 9 on either cabel or boat, but from what i've seen, cable riders have been out-tricking boat riders for a while now. I mean, who can say they can do a double S-bend behind a boat? I have to agree that he didnt jand a 10 though. the way i see it, if part of the spin wasnt in the air, it wasnt part of the spin.

To say that say that Julian or Robin are members of a 1080 club is a slap in Danny, Rusty, and Parks' faces. Yes, what they did was hard but the ramp they did it off was like 5 feet tall. Cables have way less line tention with much more forgiving landings. A cable is mearly a training device for legitimate WAKEboarding. They can practice 1080s on a cable all they want but don't count it 'til you've done in off the wake.

last time i checked, a 1080 = 3 revolutions, whether it's done at the cable park or behind the boat.

I was one of the Judges at the event and we did count Julian's as a 1080. The only reason robin won (by half a point) was because he grabbed it. If Robin would of stuck it cleaner he would have beat Julian by more. We counted Julian's because it was a consistant spin and he wasn't alot more than a board slide when he came off the ramp. It was also Switch TS and he stuck it super clean.
on a side note IMO if two riders came in to the ramp or wake (both left foot forward) and 1 did a hs fs 1080 and the other did a HS BS 900, I would give the points to the 900 over the 1080. That is just my opinion, but I would also rather watch someone do big floaty Grabbed and poked BS 180's into the flats than a Hucky 900 or 1080 anyday.

Joe-I can do a 1080 on a rope swing, am I a member of the 1080 club? I guess my point is that the thread should have been labeled " 1080 at cable park" I wonder if parks, harf and rusty agree that its the same trick when its not behind a boat? I also think it wouldn't be the same trick if it was off a kicker instead of a wake. The rope tension is completely different. IMO of couse.

unfortunately for you mike, this isn't a rope swinging thread.

one may be harder than the other, but they're both 3 - 360's, and very impressive, any way you look at it.

I know, its a 1080 thread. Mine is still (3) 360's just like theirs. I agree that its impressive but I plan to 1 up everyone when I stick the first ropeswing 1260.

it should be a 1080 on a cable cause does a boat have a 5 foot wake. Behind a boat would be way harder. im no where neer that good i can still tell thats a totally differant trick.
