The pete 7 was gorgeous but the TS BS 9 was just outta control. My vote for the best looking one of the bunch has gotta be rathy's osmosis 7.... so smooth.
Tricks on the awards were crazy.. Wakeskating tricks also killed it.. From the first days of our sport to now I am just in awe of the rider talent. _________________ Wakeskating Ronix Wakeboards Wakeboarding
I respect the hell out of a TS BS 9, but there were so many tricks that looked bigger and sicker.
Rathy rotating a 7 without a 2nd handle pull!?
On techical prowess alone, Tom's switch pete 7 is in a class all by itself.
If Harley hadn't beaten him to the trick by a week, Steel might have won for his BS 1080. So booted.
The trick that gets lost in all this is Vandall's HUGE grabbed heel 9 to flat. So filthy.
Unreal. I thought that, with as hard as Harley and Rathy have been killing it the last couple of years, the sport might have been due for a plateau. Safe to say I was wrong. _________________ "I'm scared if I stop drinking all at once, the cumulative hangover will literally kill me."
