Unfortunately there isn't a vid up yet on the interwebs but holy sh*t his second w2w mobe 7. What is happening in this sport with the tricks being landed. How can you even judge a contest anymore. The other site also reported that Harley stuck a SWITCH kgb 5. Shocked

Not to mention Tom Fooshee stuck a Pete 7 off the kicker at TSR, which there is a video. I'll post it after work.

Saw Foshee's Pete 7 already cause he's a local boy. Link to the (sickashell) vid. It's at the end of the clip.

Looking at it more and more it looks like a OA BS 7 to me... Confused

Still sick nonetheless

LakeIolaLuke, so do Rusty and Shane's BS OA 7's, but no one gives them credit for Moby 7's. Not that it matters, still sick

Speaking of sick, Rathy went ahead and took his wrapped back 9 to the w2w arena...AND added a legit grab. Just stupid

Pump the brakes, kids! This is definitely a Moby Dick 7. If you want a HS BS O/A 7, look at the trick that Rusty does in Bent Felix (lots of people claimed it was a moby dick 7, however it was a O/A BS 7) If anything this could be considered a O/A BS 10. If you dont count the tantrum as getting inverted, freeze frame the very beginning of the trick, the tantrum part is right off the wake, and it could be viewed as either a tantrum or a very O/A 3...if you look at the board through the whole trick, with goggles on that tell you its not inverted, then you will notice the board spins 1080. If not, its a tantrum with a 720. Thats surely not the best way to explain this, but watch Rustys O/A BS 7 in Bent Felix (or his O/A BS 5s, and compare them with Moby Dick 5s) and youll see what I mean.

BTW: Sick video, JV.

LFADAM, Yeah, I agree with you. I just also agreed that it "looked" like an OA 7 (or 10) as well. But I'd definitely say that he does indeed take off like a tantrum. But, to play devil's advocate, what takes precedence officially? Is it the takeoff or the invertedness (or lack thereof?)

LFADAM · Posted: Aug 26, 2009 7:04 pm Post subject:

savage3221, I dont think its either, IMO, its the rotation and handle position (ie r2r vs HS ole off axis 5). The difference between an O/A BS 7 and a Moby 7 is there is another rotation added to the trick besides the (off axis) lateral spin, its not just one corked out rotation...its that plus the other "vector" of the tantrum

Hmm, yeah, I know what you mean. I think you're right in what you said earlier.

i just realized the slow mo is of a second moby 7, watch the landing on the first he carves back in toeside, and on the second he cuts out on his heels Shocked

landed 2 in 1 day!

definitely a moby 7, watch it again and act subtract the last 360 from the trick. Nobody would call that an ole bs 7 or a bs 3. Its clearly a moby dick.

I doubt there is a soul on here that can correct Sharpe, Watson, Bob, Katen, Kevco, and Phil (All of which called it a moby 7).
