S-Bend to Blind

Is this trick possible? Has anyone seen it done?

BigTimer · Posted: May 22, 2003 11:22 am Post subject:

yeah, I think it's possible. It woudn't surprise me if someone has landed it by now. I have never seen anyone do it, but i have seen Parks attempt it and come very, very close(landed it but popped the handle). i think it was in Shafted, but could be wrong. I'm sure you will get a lot of responses saying they have seen S-Bend 720's, but they are talking about cable. That doesn't count. Later...

Pretty sure that Shapiro does s-bend to blinds.
Also s-bend 720s have been landed behind the boat. Andy Owings (pro that used to ride for Insane Wakeboards) used to land them. I actually saw him land one on my lake either 4 or 5 years ago.

Why wouldnt it count at a cable park?

Sean O'Brien- That's sweet. Do you have any clips of Andy Owings hitting an S-Bend 7? That would be really cool to see.

VIP- I guess it would count. I've just been a little annoyed by all the "Cable-Boarders" lately, giving tips on how to weight your boat and how to use a progressive edge all the way to the top of the wake, when all they ride is cable. I know a lot of people ride both, but there are a few in particular on this board that I know don't. Sorry just had to vent a little I guess.

Why was he the first one who landed it? Bernhard Hinterberger does it since about 2 years! Just look at *Bigtime- The Video! He does one there and I know him, so I see them every day!

blyth and bel air- double s- bends? or just s-bends???

Bigtimer, just becasue someone rides cable doesnt mean they dont know anything about boat riding, i ride cable, and im sure you were talking about me in that, i ride cable but i still know some things about boat. I went to TWC twice, and remember alot of the things they said and taught, hence the reason i can give advice on some things on boat, so just because someone rides cable, doesnt mean they dont know anything about boat.

stephan tranne used to do them a few years ago, even in competitions. The double s-bend that is, after boats.

Wakegurl- As stated above, "I know a lot of people ride both". Funny how you responded to that. I feel privileged to be included in your 1900+ posts. Thank you.

Parks did a double S to blind at OWC a long time ago, just after they first opened.

DaWord, "very first double s-bend to blind"

i know, double s-bends have been done for a long time, but we are talking about to blind

parks was on the indian line, this guy did it behind the normal cable

x2xwakegurlx2x · Guest

Parks didnt do it to blind though, did he?

Correction

Donald landed the first double s-bend to blind in the states on the cable. I'm pretty sure some international riders (since they had cable longer than we have) have been landing them.

exactly what DockSecret said

Parks was the first to do a double S to blind, and it was on a normal length rope. Go watch one of the older waketvs if you want proof, its also on the owc video that plays on the tvs there.
