Yes, Murray has landed this trick before, so has Sean O'Brien, I'm sure you can find video of it on Orlandowake. I think a number of riders have landed it. If you remember last year (I think) Murray got knocked out cold at a comp, that was a KGB540 attempt. If he had in his contest run, you know it was solid. Still, fantastic job by Aaron, congratulations!

Murray does them wrapped. SOB was the first to land it handle passed- off the double up. Rathy must be the first to do it wake to wake.

Murray did get knocked on on a 'wrapped' KGB-5.

Crazy looking move! Here is the video of Sean O'Brien doing it off the double up back in 2005...

I saw SOB bail on a KGB he got booted on that he could have taken to 720- pretty sure he bailed because he got caught up between the regular KGB and the 540. Realized he could easily take it to 540, just didn't. On that same set he bailed on a 900 that could just of easily have been a 1080.



He's good.

Oh! Congrats on the last tour stop! Starting to put up some good runs that are getting you more then that underground exposure your known for!

The KGB which has always been an ugly trick IMHO. I'd rather see a handle passed roll to blind but that definitely added the cool factor to that trick. I look forward to seeing Aaron's too, I'll bet he just powers thru it.

Tootsie Roll is an Ugly trick. That KGB5 is bad ass!

Some make the KGB look good. Andrew has a cool looking grabbed KGB, but in general I agree with rich.

It's not ugly imo, it's crazy, in my book, crazy= awesome. also, imo, a heelside prog. backroll 2 blind [late] is the ugliest trick in the sport, but different something for somethin else... ya know?

Paul, I didn't understand your accronym at first...

That is the coolest looking trick I think I've seen.
Old     (wakeworld)      Join Date: Jan 1997       06-02-2008, 11:22 PM Reply   
I think it's so cool that these guys hit stuff like this and then send the video right to us so that we can bring it to the fans!! Phillip did it the other day with his melan crow 7 and now Aaron Rathy does it with his KGB 5. Enjoy!

He definitely made it look good. That was impressive.
Old     (srh00z)      Join Date: Jun 2003       06-03-2008, 8:03 AM Reply   
Nice. It was nice to see it from that angle too. I don't see how Rathy kept from smiling after sticking that so clean. Looked like he had done it 100 times.

Awesome! Jimmy mentioned that it was for a new video, anyone know which one??
Old     (dnp33)      Join Date: Jan 2007       06-03-2008, 5:29 PM Reply   
that was 100% legit!
its awesome to see a new trick landed that nobody can dispute the name!

then after he landed it was just like 'whats up? no big deal, i do it all the time'

technically not new, but in a new way.

I'm pretty sure it is a video Adam E., Phillip S., Aaron R. and Jimmy L are putting together. Adam made a post about it awhile back.

I want to say it is called "The Chronicles of Gnarlia"

They were thinking of calling it that, but then someone mentioned a snowboarding video has already been called that, so they decided to re-think the name

I just got a text from Jeff Weatherall and he said that Dean Smith just landed one out in the flats! Harley Clifford caught it on video, so we'll have that for you soon. Again, how cool is that?

Dean reckons, he'll be able to land a kgb 7 soon.
apparently he over rotated on a kgb 5 attempt and got excited.

I reallly hope he does.

A brisky dick? Please!!! Let's make trick names a little more gay, shall we?
Old     (jimmy_lariche_)      Join Date: Mar 2008       06-04-2008, 9:09 PM Reply   
Its called the billion dollar baby! Bob soven took the initiative to name it.. He grabs it nose before he passes the handle, its unreal looking. We will post video of it soon!

Here is Dean Smith's KGB 540: http://wakeworld.com/galleries/getimage.asp?galleryid=600&imageid=14. Thanks to Dean, Harley Clifford, Jeff Weatherall and Austin Hair for bringing this clip to you!

For sure!

I would really like to see it grabbed though.

That was insane!! Was that the trick he was trying in the double or nothing competition this year??
Old     (srh00z)      Join Date: Jun 2003       06-04-2008, 9:55 PM Reply   
This is kind of like the story behind the original KGB, a race to see who could land the KGB 5 W2W first.
Old     (liquidmalibu)      Join Date: Sep 2007       06-04-2008, 10:29 PM Reply   
To right Stephen, i wonder if Rathy or Dean were aware of each others attempts?

...Hows Deans knees? he seems to do everything rather large and with a raley cut.
