1. Tom Fooshee
2. Bret Little
3. Dont know

Mark my words... Tom will be the number 1 all around rider in the next 2-3 years. He is already the number 1 cable rider in the world, wins every rail jam he is in, voted rookie of the year, and best trick last year (he was honored before the 1080).

So for the people who would like to see more Rusty, I ask one questions. Is being in every wakeboard DVD and every other advertisement or sessions photo in wakeboard magazines not enough exposure?

Leo, yeah I would like to see more. Rusty is a super chill guy and if you have seen his section in Butter Effect, enough said. Others Robby Carter and Nick Jones & the Valdez boys.

rusty had the alliance and wakeboard mag shot cover at the same time....and the 1080 thing... i think rusty has been getting some exposure... hahaha

id like to see more alex scagliotti, chris craig, nick jones, robby c....and kieth lidberg cause that guy is honestly the most insaine rider ever.

(wakedad33) · (wakedad33) **Join Date: Oct 2005** 01-25-2007, 1:27 AM

Kaesen, Spencer Norris's new vid "The Arrival" just released. Chris, Alex & Rob C. all have sections. Hit him up for a copy.

kc700 01-25-2007, 1:42 AM

well good....ive been wanting some public perspective on who people are wanting to see...but i have to agree...everyone wanting to see rusty...take a look back at 06...he was blowin up, and deservedly so. Havent actually seen scagliotti ride, but ive heard some pretty tremendous things...any clips of his riding at all?

(wakeecliptict863)

1. Necrason
2. Chad Sharpe wake-riding, not sliders as much
3. Jonathan Nadolski (goes huge like his mentor, don't see him around much)

Man, too many to list in the top three....

I'd love to see more of Derek Cook, Brady Sammons, a major Parks comeback, Randall, Jeff house, video parts from Trevor Hansen, Keith Lidberg, Matt Simms..... and the list goes on.

I've seen a ton of Lyman and Greenwood, but both of those guys are in my top five to watch ride, so keep it coming. Rusty is coming on strong, too. His riding is insane to watch. He's got plenty of exposure, though.

i also agree with the majority - vandall, lyman, greenwood

Pretty sure Nelson thinks wakeboarders are lame these days. Swings a mean stick though...

Too bad. He was a seriously sick rider and innovator when he was involved with the sport.

Like to see less focus on the pros, and more on the regonal/local riding spots & the rippers that frequent. WBM & Launch used to do stuff like this back in the day, doesn't seem to be happening much anymore.
