Tricks I want to see...

Indy Tantrum to Revert, TS BS 720, Stalefish HS FS 360 or higher. Anyone have anything to add to this list???

Bird does a Indy Tantrum to revert on DS2. The TS BS 720 would be dirty! I also want to see that. My buddy Ryan has a sick HS FS 360 with a late Stalefish. A stalefish before the 360 would be dope!!

pretty sure Jrod wants to see a nuclear crow mobe :-)

good one Mike!!

All of those have been done...(not sure about the 7 though). Most of those tricks were real popular like 5 years ago, but have faded out. If you watch any of the old wake videos, you'll most likely see Murray doing the Indy Tantrum to Fakie.

tantrum F/S three
where is the B/S 900?

lol mike.


elephant to blind.


and there will be a fs 10 before a b/s 9. it will be sweet when they happen, though.


vulcan to blind.

indy glide raley variations (indy glide 313, indy glide blind judge, etc)

Indy glide blind judge! Good one. I'd love to see that.

It sounds near impossible, the rope tension would make it WAY too hard... but worth a shot.

Hoochie/OHH S-bend. That would be neat. Or just any grab with an s-bend.

S-bend to blind

I've seen Murray jump over the rope with an olley, but I haven't seen it W2W. Is there a trick like this, and I haven't seen it?

Shapiro used to do (probably still does) called an orbital, and a orbital 5. These were SICK, but no one that I know does these.
The best way I can describe it is an off axis spin, but off axis towards the boat (and over the rope) as opposed to away from the boat.

randall did ts bs 180's orbital without ever having to pass the handle

like an ole 5?

Let me know if any videos of orbitals come around. That trick would take some muscle.

Aden, no, the handle is behind you and the board goes over the rope.

Ohhh, ok. cool! I don't see why that doesn't happen anymore.. sounds like a cool trick to me.

triple s-bend!

I'm with Tony... bs 9, I haven't even heard of anyone trying them

Not trying to start anything, but Aden, this is the second time you have said a/another 1080 before the bs 9 (I started a post awhile ago on the bs 9)... I come from a snowboard background, and the bs 9 was being done, in competition anyway, before fs 10s (as far as i know)... I do understand the publicity behind the 1080, but I wouldnt go so far as to say a fs 10 before the bs9 as strongly as you say... dont get me wrong I do share the same feelings that there is more focus on the 1080 and in no way am I trying to start anything with you specifically, just my 2 cents... I would like to hear your reasoning, or anyone else's, on why you think there will be another 1080 before a bs9, if you dont mind

heard of a guy doing a double s-bend to blind at TSR (on the cable of course)

Pat... FS 9s are easier than BS 7s to my understanding... and from my experience FS7s are easier than BS5s. So I just continued up the chain. Not many people are throwing BS 7s, but I see lots of 9s. That's about it.

Robert,

Josh Rise does Double S-Bend to blind like a walk through the park.

I have some video of him doing it at KC Watersports.

Aden, Jr. men's rider Jimmy LaRiche has a backside 7, landed one at the MN tour stop.

dont any of you have shawn murray pro wakeboarder for x box. I can all of those tricks that you all listed........

My buddy Adam Fields does OLE flatspins...i am pretty sure 3's and 5's wake 2 wake. Its pretty phat watching those.

spin2win... lol ya dog

"Indy glide blind judge! Good one. I'd love to see that."

Doesn't D Cook do that?

Parks has also been doing the indy glide to blind for years, it is just an indy bs o/a 180

Randy, Jimmy also has his hs bs oa 7 SWITCH

So does Rusty.

yeah, Josh Rice and Rob Mapp are the only 2 I heard of doing a double s-bend to blind. that trick is nuts. I've heard of a lot of people getting concusions trying double s-bends without throwing in the blind.

What about a TS blind 7?

er.. do people even do TS blind 5s??

Trevor Hansen does TS blind 5's

like spin 2 win said i want to see someone slide an entire roller coaster or maybe to make it easier the entire city of hong kong!

wes... have you been playing too much video games

Sometimes this has me asking how much the sport has actually progressed when it comes to trick difficulty and progression. Or how much do competitions actually showcase of what can be done?

The tour kind of has a mind of its own. Like an invisible hand that determines what scores high based on the opinion of the judges. I think TS BS 5's should be done on the tour and should be equal to something like a TS or HS FS 900 or even a switch 7. Just because of the difficulty of the rotation and the handle passes. Just my 2 cents tho.

in the instructional video "higher education" Darin Shapiro does a orbital 5 it looks sick...

Has anyone ever seen Park's double Whirly (not like froggys) he doesnt even pass the handle he just throws the rope around his head 2 times! its Sick! But Ive seen somebody grab a Vulcan before

I heard that Erick Ruck was the first to stick, and routinely does stick, a indy tantrum to blind.

Scot, are they scoring sw 7's the same as hs fs or toe 9's???? They are a lot easier switch for some people.

Clay: yeah, the whirly 7 is absurdly rediculous.

Hansen is working on the TS/BS 7. A rediculously hard trick. From what I understand he's very close. That guy spins like a top. He could be a candidate for a 10, too.

Jimmy LaRiche already is doing ts bs 7s

kyle, off the wake or the owc kicker?

Mike, I kinda meant like Harfs SW BS HS 7's.

Evan, I've seen Hansen do a w2w BS 7 and a w2w TS BS 5, but I've never actually seen him try to spin past 7 frontside. Does he have a 9?

yea, bs dif story....I cant imagine spinning more than 5 bs (nor will i ever likely).

Jeff, he has them off the wake now

Kyle, hey I think you mean Jimmy has HS BS 7's not TS BS 7's

I find it hard to believe that Ruck was the first to land an Indy-Tantrum-to-Blind when Byerly is seen sticking them off the dub in Hit It. Possible, but I doubt it.

Schwenne's doing a TS BS Double Grab 360 today. I'll have the sequence somewhere shorty.

Kevin Bird's indy Tany to Fakie is sick as well. I was shocked the first time I ever saw it.

You guys are fricken hilarious.

I saw at least one HS BS 7 in reno. I couldn't tell you who did it now. Too much booze, too little sleep.

I saw Froggy try 3 b/s 7's of the du, landing one in the finals and wrecking very, very hard on at least one other.

did nobody watch the video i just posted?? alex hamrick sticks a indy tantrum to blind...

the trick that its sick is the double o 9 that matt sims does. first 360 is olay then the 540 is osmosis its sick

I'd like to see a trick that LOOKS better than Lyman's grabbed HSFS 5, or Kyle Murphy's HSFS Melon 3's, or Randall's Wrapped hs indy nose-bone fs 5.

I like fs spins.

Indy tantrumt2blinds are nothing special they've been done for like 15 years now. B/S spins are hard because they are harder to iniate and you have to wait longer off the wake to spin them than you do on frontside stuff. Plus its hard to spin o/a backside.
