This is a follow up thread to the last post. I was interested to hear what you guys think are the top wakeboard tricks either park or boat ever landed, judged on difficulty, risk, and historical context i.e. Parks 1080 in 99' was 7 years ahead of Danny Harf's 1080 in 07'.

1) Speedball - Rider Darin Shapiro: This is number 1 strictly because Darin was doing this in 96' years before anyone could ever dream of doubles...

2) Switch Double Mobe - Rider Parks Bonifay: In 2006 when it seemed like parks was on his own level he took his signature double half cab roll to mobe to put him in legendary status.

3) 1080 - Rider Parks Bonifay: I have this as number 2 because in 99' a 900 was a HUGE deal, and parks comes out of nowhere with a 1080. It took 8 years before another rider was able to land another 1080.

4) Half Cab Double Roll - Rider Parks Bonifay: I have this as number 3 because again Parks was light years ahead of all other riders, consistantly sticking his half cab double, and also working on switch double mobes.

5) Double Roll to Blind Early Pass Stale - Mike Dowdy: Back when everyone was getting regular double flips down to a science, Dowdy lands this stylish super technical hammer to make everyone contemplate what is possible...

6) BS Double Cork 1080 - Max Van Helvort: The creativity and commitment encompassed in this trick was other worldly. I definitely think these types of tricks will be the future of park riding.

7) TS 1260 - Rider Danny Harf: in 2010 only a few years prior to riders landing a handful of 1080's Danny Harf spent a few days working on this gem.

8) Crow Mobe 7 - Rider Philip Soven: in 2008 seeing Melon Crow Mobe 7 was unheard of. I do remember in maybe 2005-06 Shaun Murray trying a few off the double off, and they just looked gnarly. Seeing Philip Soven stick this back then was unbelievable.

9) Crow Mobe 9 - Rider Harley Clifford: in 2014 Harley lands a Crow 9 like it's a Crow 5.

10) Triple Indy TS Backroll - Rider Cody Hesse: in 2015 Cody Hesse lands a triple flip. I would have liked to rank this a bit higher however, I feel as it would have been nice to see more double variations as opposed to adding another flip, and opening the triple bag...


What do you guys think? What does your list look like? I definitely missed some cable tricks, that I would have like to put on the list, like Christopher Klein's "Klein" S-Mobe rewind, or Front Mobe 7's etc.
