I like the whole thing I thought the editing was cool, the slow mo allowed to really see every part of the trick he was doing. It was just all around crazy.

Awesome. I still think I big grab with a late BS 180 looks the best. All that hucking and spinning..although impressive, doesn't have much style at all.
Steve Edwards does not go on the PWT very often. He does pretty well when he shows up. He was at the Nationals. He is a great spinner. He is not the best at Mobes. That is why he has limited success.
Man I just watched it again. That Ole 9 was amazing and I just can't believe how easy he made the regular 9 look. He has a lot of control that's for sure.
watching a guy like that inspires me more then watching someone like danny harf or parks bonifay because the guy is an underground wakeboarder and is doing tricks the big name pros arnt doing. Shawn Watson has been doing ole spins forever now and I havn't seen him pull a ole 9.
I'm with you leo. There are guys out there that can ride as good or better then the "rock stars", but just aren't exploited like they are. Brian Grubb is a perfect example.
That guy Rips, He looks like he could land a 1080. He is pretty close!!! Is that last spin a 900 or a 1080? It looks like he is getting around 3 times. Nice video.
Steve Edwards does not get the credit he deserves. When he landed that first 9 they hardly made a fuss over it but when Watson landed it later there was all this hype. Not to take away from what Watson did, but Steve is a great rider (from what I've seen) he should get a bit more coverage.
