Phillip Soven's 1080 attempt

Did anyone see this in the new WBM? It's on page 89 of the July issue. He was EXTREMELY close. I think he is definately going to land it soon. What do you guys think?

I think that it would be cool if he did get it. Parks has held the title as the only one for a long time so I think that it is time for someone else to land it.

Do you think if someone landed it they would be keep quiet about it and wait for a tourney to land it for twice the money?

DWM, Parks has 'claimed' the title...I wouldn't say he 'has' it... Parks is just the only one who has it on film. According to the June WBM Mark Kenney was landing them like it was nothin'.

abovethewake, yeah, I was behind the lens, in the boat for the PB Double or Nothing competition. I shot most of the sequences that ran in the mag.

Mike Isler, thats sweet- thanks for the post.

HatzicMotive140, Phillip Soven used to go by 'Froggy' more, but I think he is trying to move on from that, and just go by his regular name.

Mike Isler, you rule!

Look how big the x-star wake is when he lands, its up to his waist. Dang.

I dont even see a D-up?

he had ot of though..right?

Cameron · Outlaw Joined: 28 Aug 2003 Posts: 180 City: Down Under

Thats a massive wake.. he has it, just slippin out on the landing..
Are 10s easier TS?? He has plenty of clearance to land that though.. definitely up-and-coming no.1

yeah - it seems like he is making it harder landing it blind, maybe if he put that handle in the front hand he would have it.

That is some sick footage of Mark Kenny. I've been to to Loveland Pass (Continental Divide) where they show him snowboarding. Place is ill!

It is actually easier to land spins blind like backside 5's and toeside frontside 7's because you dont have to worry about getting that last handle pass. After you learn how to land blind on stuff it really isnt any harder than landing regular

Wow he is spinning That 1080 F/S!!!.....That Guy is probably the best wakeboarder that ever lived....No questions asked

Tyler~Moore · Posted: Jun 01, 2005 1:28 pm Post subject:

cdn_ripper, yea man...backside 1080s are so much easier...

NorthwestRider · Posted: Jun 01, 2005 1:36 pm Post subject:

cdn_ripper, uh? No questions asked? I could ask you a ton of question about why you think that..... Like how is he the doing a trick thats been landed by 2 different people makes him the best ever? So since he is almost landing that, I guess that makes him better then the other 2 guys that already landed it right?

cwaker4 · Soul Rider Joined: 09 Dec 2004 Posts: 465 City: Gilroy

wow that was super close i didnt really see a double up either. i bet hell be one of about 5 or so riders who land it this year.
