HHI Dave

I just got back from Clermont. Last night I saw video shot during the day on Monday of Danny Hampson landing a "bigger spin" ...shuv 540/360 varial...he almost lost it on the landing but still managed to ride away clean.

Daaang. Shocked

HHI Dave, I don't know about that, you just asked for confirmation that someone had told you it was the first... I was bored, you'll have to forgive my posts when I'm bored. Wink

HHI Dave, Yea it's been done before, but if it's any consolation, Danny still does them more stylie than anyone else ever will.

The one he does off the flatrail in Push Process is SOOOOOO epic... (I was driving the seadoo Cool

)

Nick, thanks for clearing that up. Guess I was misinformed. It was still something to see. Cool

^and ohhh soo clean! Nice Nick!

electricsnow · Posted: Mar 18, 2008 11:40 am Post subject:

he has another version of this maneuver as well that will be available for public viewing in a future issue of Wakeboarding magazine.

And I heard those guys were calling it a keep going big spin.

i'd suggest calling it a madonna, but that name is already taken.

WOAH! GUYS! I've got one unread message!!! It says that one of my friends thinks I'm sexy! I'm going to go find out who it is...

Nick Taylor · Posted: Mar 18, 2008 6:09 pm Post subject:

Reed and Matt call it a keep going bigspin, but I constantly (to the point of annoyance) correct them.

Skate-nerding FTW

to the point of annoyance...that makes me chuckle.

Anyway, here's some updated info from WakeBoarding magazine, which has to do with this whole malarky of danny hampson and why his maneuvers end up being hotter than hot* and how you can view said maneuvers from danny and others that ride their short boards without binders.

Good night to you all...

*(Ie. not ice cold, though that can be a good thing in certain situations and given the context.)

I can't wait to see the new WBM. The word "Redonkulous" comes to mind when I hear what's in it.

electricsnow, Don't forget, you're the one that taught me how to skatenerd Mr. Green

electricsnow · Posted: Mar 19, 2008 2:53 pm Post subject:

and transworld skateboarding taught me the term "skatenerding." Laughing

it was in the editorial of some issue and they were trying to figure out what to call some techy kris markovitch trick on a mini ramp that was probably done before in some h-street vid but they weren't positive (or some such malarky). I love that...that's why i love my media collection too. all of the magazines have their issues archived...I try to keep what I can.

I'm definitely looking forward to the upcoming issues as well. Even though I have highspeed (finally-haha), I think I'll stick with the print issues because I need something to catalog in a binder and plastic sleeve. Laughing

but I do like the idea of the timeliness of it because sometimes that's a bit of an issue, but more so with my alliance subscription than anything else.

Danny's was heelside wake to wake. That hasn't been done before.

He did it with a handle pass. It's one of those moves that makes everybody watching go "OOOOHHH!!!!!!"
