Wakeboard Move of the Year predictions...

(tonka) · (tonka) **Join Date: May 2006** 07-26-2009, 8:40 PM

What do you think will win Wakeboard move of the year and who will pull it? I bet Rathy could stomp a 12 if he put his mind to it. But could a toe 12 win two years in a row, or would it have to be a new variation?

The W2W BS9 from Rathy or if someone pops out a W2W 10

I'd say that a couple of guys will hold out til the last minute like it went down last year. My prediction is that we'll all be surprised by what goes down next!

(focker) · (focker) **Join Date: Aug 2006** 07-27-2009, 7:42 AM

Right now I think it's definitely Rathy's grabbed wake to wake bs 9. it will take something pretty stout to beat this. Maybe you should have waited a little closer to 'decision time' to land this Rathy - by the time they get around to deciding the newness of this move will have worn down some and that's a shame.

Didn't Harf land one not wrapped?

(andy_nintzel)

Rathy For sure, at least at this point, and he NOT TO MENTION he Grabbed that wrapped bs9.

(hyule) · (hyule) **Join Date: Nov 2006** 07-27-2009, 8:02 AM

I thought Rusty landed one (not wrapped) of the dup a while back.

(focker) · (focker) **Join Date: Aug 2006** 07-27-2009, 8:08 AM

He did, but I believe the landing was kind of sketch so it wasn't 'claimed' so to speak.

Andrew's mobe 7

(tonka) · (tonka) **Join Date: May 2006** 07-27-2009, 9:01 AM

Is there any footage of Andrew's mobe 7? Or of Danny's BS9?

(waterdork88) · (waterdork88) **Join Date: Aug 2005** 07-27-2009, 9:09 AM

I'll go with Rathys bs 9... I think its interesting that Harf just got around to the wrapped bs 7 off the dub and Shane was doing the wrapped and ole bs 7... then Rathy comes out of nowhere and does both and steps it up a notch.

If Andrew lands that grabed mobe 7 clean off of the dub then I would choose that

I didnt get the chance to see it, but theres also the wake to tower grind in Out of the Pond

(andy_nintzel)

we need some deet on Danny's BS 9er.

(romes) · (romes) **Join Date: Sep 2006** 07-27-2009, 9:38 AM

there's been video of harf's off bs 7 up on the nautique website for a while now...long before rathey hit his...

Well, ballots went out for all the categories for the wake award last Friday. I already voted. In regards to the move of the year, submissions are still being accepted.

I thought Danny stuck a wrapped TS grabbed BS 9. I Might be wrong.

Hutton, wake 10

(behindtheboat) · (behindtheboat) **Join Date: Aug 2006** 07-28-2009, 9:25 AM

^^^^how many years are people going to say that^^^^

I hope I am proven wrong, but I would put my money on someone else at this point.

(gene3x)

I am thinking since there are a nice list of consistant wake 9's in competition and that several are close it would be motivation to make history.

Apparently Hutton has come really close and should be pushing for it.

(hyule) · (hyule) **Join Date: Nov 2006** 07-28-2009, 10:51 AM

Was soven's crow 7 last year? Why isnt that a hot topic? Just not very difficult or cool?

(vlxwakeboarder)

Hutton came close on Chad Sharpes latest video on his blog. On his feet just pulled over.

(waterdork88) · (waterdork88) **Join Date: Aug 2005** 07-28-2009, 1:17 PM

sovens 7 was last year. I would have voted for it till I heard about Harfs last minute 12.

(wakecumberland)

Hutton W2W 10

If you've seen him ride recently, you know its anyday now!

(behindtheboat) · (behindtheboat) **Join Date: Aug 2006** 07-28-2009, 2:09 PM

yea, I just watched it on Sharpe's blog, I'll tell myself to shut up

I don't know about you guys, but I would love to see a big, floaty indy backside 180 out into the flats win move of the year.

(jsweat) · (jsweat) **Join Date: Apr 2007** 07-29-2009, 1:41 PM

BS 10 would be sick for sure and sill win the best trick hands down

(tonka) · (tonka) **Join Date: May 2006** 07-29-2009, 6:17 PM

Rathy could definitely stick a wrap HS BS 10! Maybe he already did and is keeping it under wraps. No pun intended. That trick IMO would beat Harf's BS 9 even if he did hit it TS. The only trick that could beat a BS 10 might be a wake 10. Wasn't Rusty trying wake 10's earlier this season?

(lfadam) · (lfadam) **Join Date: Nov 2008** 07-29-2009, 6:28 PM

Hm, I guess it comes down to your taste...personally I think a TS BS 9 would far trump a w2w 10. People have been doing w2w 9s for years and now 10s are becoming more common on the double up. Phil basically did it last year with his skeezer 7. The first TS BS 7 was just landed 2 years ago and noone does them off the wake. Theyre still a big deal off the double up. (Im not discrediting w2w 10s, that would still be dope). But yea a BS 10 would prob barely edge out a TS BS 9 in my book

(vlxwakeboarder)

Rathy did a toe back 7 off the wake I dont remember what video. Maybe Global Warning

(waterdork88) · (waterdork88) **Join Date: Aug 2005** 07-29-2009, 7:51 PM

you are correct

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfx0xWjnOWk

Assuming everyone lands everything they're wanting to land... I think it would go in this order for me (assuming they're all stomped)

1. Rathy hs bs 10
2. Andrew mobe 7
2. Harf ts bs 9
3. Rathy hs bs 9
4. Hutton w2w ts fs 10
5. whoever did that wake to tower gap in out of the pond

(tonka) · (tonka) **Join Date: May 2006** 07-29-2009, 8:29 PM

Well done waterdork88. I think a w2w 10 should beat a HS BS 9 cuz it's a bigger spin. Then again, Rathy grabbed his BS 9, so it's hard to say. He should just stick that BS 10 and make the decision easy for everyone.

(acerock88) · (acerock88) **Join Date: May 2008** 07-29-2009, 9:02 PM

Wow, a TSBS 9 completely blows my mind. I think that of the tricks mentioned so far that it has to be the best.

(waterdork88) · (waterdork88) **Join Date: Aug 2005** 07-29-2009, 9:07 PM

It is a bigger spin, but keep in mind that the 9 is backside... It really is hard for me to choose but if I saw a guy throw a ts fs 3 and another throw a hs bs 1... I think I might go with the 1, (slight preference) and the grab was icing on the cake. Now if Hutton grabs that w2w 10 then I would have a hard time placing that bs 9 over it.... anyways I agree, I hope someone makes this an easy decision

(yorwakebordfrend)

chris garvy's wake 2 wake toe side backroll.. (w/out a grab by the way)

(pierem) · (pierem) **Join Date: Sep 2008** 07-30-2009, 12:59 AM

Why do we only speak about spins!? I'd like to see some invert winning the move of the year. Last year Soven's crow 7 was pretty sick, I remember Adam fields talking about a slim 7 in an interview... Or why not a variation of a double invert ...?

(lfadam) · (lfadam) **Join Date: Nov 2008** 07-30-2009, 8:15 AM

because spins are in style right now...inverts are what spins were in the 90s, and inverts will be the next "it" tricks in a few years, mark my words!!!

(I think a double frontroll to revert aka frontroll+scarecrow or an indy temper tantrum would be dope)

(jsweat) · (jsweat) **Join Date: Apr 2007** 07-30-2009, 10:05 AM

Chances are if danny wouldn't have landed the 12 then i am sure phil would have probably won with the crow 7

I am going to have to say that Rathy's Backside 10 is going to win. Kid is a machine.

(magellan) · (magellan) **Join Date: Feb 2003** 08-01-2009, 12:25 PM

It won't be entered due to lack of vest. (BS 9).

(waterdork88) · (waterdork88) **Join Date: Aug 2005** 08-01-2009, 2:48 PM

A move can't be entered with someone not using a vest? Not that I'm for not wearing a vest... I just find that weird

(vlxwakeboarder)

Yeah I just thought you couldnt get the move published in magazines.

(xistential) · (xistential) **Join Date: Jul 2007** 08-01-2009, 4:22 PM

The 9 won't matter because he will land a 10 before then.

(bizz) · (bizz) **Join Date: Jun 2008** 08-01-2009, 7:47 PM

He already did land the back 10... surprise

(tonka) · (tonka) **Join Date: May 2006** 08-01-2009, 8:08 PM

Hey Bizz. Are you for real? Was his BS 10 w2w or d-up?

(tonka) · (tonka) **Join Date: May 2006** 08-02-2009, 10:38 AM

I guess we have a winner cuz I don't see any one topping a BS 10! I don't mean to jinx it, but congrats to Rathy. Even better, he rides for Oakley, the company sponsoring the Move of the Year Award.

(xistential) · (xistential) **Join Date: Jul 2007** 08-02-2009, 10:55 AM

He hasn't landed it yet.

(xbones) · (xbones) **Join Date: Mar 2007** 08-02-2009, 11:40 AM

I'm thinking W2W 10... I bet its gone down already and we just haven't seen the footy. The guys kept the 12 under the radar last year pretty well. There weren't any "leaks" if I recall correctly.

(wakeboardlf25)

they only had to keep it secret for not even a day

(jsweat) · (jsweat) **Join Date: Apr 2007** 08-02-2009, 12:26 PM

Luker thats because the 12 was landed on wednesday which was the cut off date. and a back 10 would trump a wake 10 for sure

(xbones) · (xbones) **Join Date: Mar 2007** 08-02-2009, 12:56 PM

thats right... my b

(bizz) · (bizz) **Join Date: Jun 2008** 08-02-2009, 1:13 PM

Sorry for getting everyone's hopes up. Apparently I was misinformed. Rathy is close to landing back 10's off the d-up but hasn't set one down yet. Sorry for the confusion and I am rooting for him to stick it before the awards.

(tonka) · (tonka) **Join Date: May 2006** 08-17-2009, 7:59 AM

Could Rusty's 1080 in Reno's pro tour stop be a nominee? It's not a new move, but still a Big deal in the history of the sport.

(jarrod) · (jarrod) **Join Date: May 2003** 08-17-2009, 8:12 AM

Yesterday the announcers at the tour said that Rathy is rumored to have landed a 1260. Maybe BS, maybe not.

(xistential) · (xistential) **Join Date: Jul 2007** 08-17-2009, 8:28 AM

Yeah Jarrod but it's been done already. They gonna go with something else this year I would think. As great as achievement as that is it has been done.

(jsweat) · (jsweat) **Join Date: Apr 2007** 08-17-2009, 8:53 AM

when did rathy stick a 12??

Did he hit the back 10 yet??

(steezyshots) · (steezyshots) **Join Date: Feb 2008** 08-17-2009, 9:41 AM

There are 2 tricks that have been stomped that are being kept under wraps. They are both sick and people will be stoked! Wake Awards is gonna be sick!

(waterdork88) · (waterdork88) **Join Date: Aug 2005** 08-17-2009, 12:14 PM

I wouldn't count out Rusty's comp 10... Its may have been done before but never in a competition, which takes it to another level in my book

and I wouldn't cout out Rathy's 12 if he did it. He may have done it heelside or he may have stomped it clean.

(guido) · (guido) **Join Date: Jul 2002** 08-17-2009, 12:30 PM

Comp 10 has a huge chance. To stick a move like that under the pressure of a tour stop is amazing. Plus it's not like he was out working try after try. He got one shot and stomped it.

Hopefully Rusty pulls it down.

Otherwise a back 10 would be GIANT!

(xistential) · (xistential) **Join Date: Jul 2007** 08-17-2009, 12:36 PM

Bridget, dont think so...AFAIK they have only been doing this award for the last couple years. Its definitey worthy though the 009 is a nasty trick (that I havent seen in a while, unfortunately...)
