Tony was riding today and was having fun throwing Raley stuff and he decided he would try a Batwing to Blind for the first time. He got it on his second try. Great Day in Central Cal Water 67 Air 78 Wind 0 No other boats

Given Tony's already huge Batwing that's a sweet looking trick and good addition to his "stable".

I can see you're getting into video Ben, when is the feature length one coming?

Nice to see the the emotion from Tony on landing a new trick! Mad skills!

Ben - If you get a chance, PM your address. Julie has some DMC swag for the wife.

jayson- at millerton in fresno we're gown to the last ramp on the lake and theres only about 5 feet of that left. that water is still going down a little. islands are poping up that i didn't even know were there n i've been going up there since i was about a year old. when me and tony go up we just keep our boats in the middle n haven't ran into any problems yet.

Sick riding! How are y'all liking the new 23LSV?

(guido) · (guido) **Join Date: Jul 2002** 11-15-2007, 1:24 PM

OK, someone tell me how a batwing to blind isn't a indy OA TS/BS 180. Ha, ha, ha... That ought to haunt the wakeworld community for a while.

Good stuff Tony. Whirly 5, too.... Da-um. Nice.

As far as the new LSV. That was a Promo we used in a photo shoot and we had to return it to the Malibu Factory. The boat had the new Diamond Hull on it. We were just doing a evaluation of the Diamond Hull Compared to the Wake Hull. We were just wondering what people would think of the color scheme because we are trying to decide what color to do the new VLX.

I was wondering if he was prepping to do this trick from watching the other video and the batwing-to-surface-bs180 and whoop, there it is. Good to see even the rippers largely build up from the basics. Congrats.

Ben, so what's the story with the new hull? If it's not good, just PM me so you don't upset Malibu!
