Yes it's a good article, I know that, but look at all the pics. See how good wakeboarding looks with grabs?

Next time out, try to grab every trick you know how to do. Have someone film or take pictures. I think you'll be very pleased as to how much better your riding looks.

Blabel very good observation! you are totally right. All of those grabs make his pictures look more interesting.

its funny you mention that cuz last time I went out with our friend Adam, he did a simple grab while doing a lip slide and I commented on how much cooler the trick looked w/the grab. I had never thought of grabbing the board while doing a surface trick and it inspired me to try!

ps..your new bikes are SA-WEET! I love the 50!

Grab every trick I know? Can you grab a butterslide?

Swass, you can grab your patented nose dips; that would look cool!

Thanks Angi, we are enjoying them!

I still have bruises from my patented nose dips. I blame the boat.

yea that is true blabel, when i was at lake san antonio a few years back the all the guys at the marina would say was to grab on every trick. it makes tour riding look a lot better

I meant to post something last night after reading it. Great job, Hahn.
I like the way the interview involved two distinct functions of the company.

You extend your arm down toward the board and wrap your fingers around it...

Grabs are cool.

Rob Hyatt has been apart of this industry for a long time and has so much history. I'm glad you enjoyed the article NAW.

Angi, right click on the link to your video and select "Copy Shortcut" and then paste the shortcut into the post here. Really easy...

Bill--I emailed Dave, because I tried doing what you posted last nite and it just wasnt happening..he said

"problem is that the URL has some odd characters in it, so the program cuts it off where it think it ends. In order to override this, you need to specifically tell it that it is a URL by using the following syntax:"

ummmmm, yeah..what he said!

I'm gonna give it another try...but thanks though!
