Lucas Magoon aka The Gooner or Goontown calls this the "Harlem Shuffle". At least get it right. Just giving you a hard time. (Message edited by jmuthafnp on February 05, 2009)

Ya i debated calling it the harlem shuffle but I wanted direct Magoon tribute bc he shreds. Plus us wakeboarders dont seem to name tricks as the correspond in snowboarding haha

Call it what it is. My vote is for "Harlem Shuffle". Gooner is the man on some rails for sure. I can't wait to hit the rails at KC, I got a few snow inspired ideas of my own for this year.

It is called that in snowboarding, but Lucas Magoon started doing it on rails and dubbed the "Harlem Shuffle". It may not look hard, but it is hard as hell to do on a rail. Props to Quinn for bringing the Gravity Shuffle to wakeboarding. That's right you heard it here FIRST. Another new trick has been invented and probably way more fun to do than a 1080.

Yep! Quinn named it that today, since he was the first to do it.

looks lame as hell, I'm sure it's hard to do though, pretty much the rail equivalent of any raley trick

ill stay neutral on this for now but i would think ot would be harder to do on a true rail something thinner with more difficulty would give it more credibilty IMO.That slider top was almost as flat and wide as the board and didnt seem as hard as it could be ..

how would that be possible on a thin rail? I think it has to be board length wide or at least close

Its definitely a box trick just adding a little flare, difficulty, and entertainment to boxes since they are not too exciting to watch.

equivalent to a raley trick on rails? There's a reason snowboarders don't like most wakeboarders, you have no style or originality.

I watched it again, it's growing on me, pretty sweet in a way I guess, get some footage of it on a rail instead of a box and throw it up

Ya Im definitely gonna do it again it's fun... Why so serious? haha But like I said its one of those things that will be more effective on a wide rail or box and if you think about it, on that wall im riding, once you transfer to that top like I did your just going to be pressing the whole thing or riding the whole thing so I was just being creative I guess. And yes.. It does grow on you, I wasnt too stoked on it once I first saw my footage but it grew on me ALOT.

Haha I wasn't talking to you Quinn, I'm a huge goon supporter, and appreciate any snow steeze done on a wakeboard I was referring to your haters...

i dont think you can name a trick like that. 50/50, lipslide, nosepress all have the same names from snow to wake and aj was doing those at the cable park awhile back. (Message edited by hsryan33 on February 07, 2009)

I'm pretty sure the snowboarders did it on wide boxes as well, I think that would be close to impossible on a thin rail.

I've seen Magoon do it (harlem shuffle) on a 4 inch wide rail down a 16 stair handrail.... it is def "do-able".... but it's gonna take some GOON -ish type skills to pull it off. Lucas is the king of rails on a snowboard.

The snowboard kids around here call it a "Crip Walk" or a "C Steping". Pretty funny to watch kids bust hard trying to learn this trick. Small request. Can you do a "Michael Jackson" next. It is where you do a boardslide and stand on your toes the whole way down the rail. I am a big fan of goofing around. Lately, we have been doing Tripods all over the mountain. I will have to try your new trick this summer on my wakeboard. Good Stuff.
