So I just read the Top 5 best wakeboarders thread and there is a clear difference in peoples voting, the Old Schoolers like me want to vote for the riders who had the biggest impact on our sport, on the flip, it looks like a lot of the young guns or people who got into wakeboarding more recently are voting for riders landing the biggest moves that are currently on top of there game. So now we have the Top 5 most Important wakeboarders thread to get away from the word “best” and focus more on impact they have or had to the sport, vote for the top five Riders you feel are or were the most important riders ever to the sport. I am actually having a hard time deciding who to vote for. I am not going to order my vote because I think they are all equally important. Shapiro (obviously) Parks (the first super grom) Gator (rider/owner) Byerly (living Ledgend, invented so many moves its crazy) Murray (hands down one of the best ever to ride a wakeboard) Don’t forget guys like, Kovak, Horrel, Necrason, Best, Greg Nelson, Zane, Cobe, Ricky G, etc. the list goes on and on. We could have a whole other thread devoted to the ladies of the sport as well. I bet Umali Posts first!!!
