Jeff's run was super clean. He's killing it these days. Another rider who doesn't get much press but some of us know, Sean O'Brien, is doing nuclear Tanny's to Blind these days, in addition to Method grabbed(!) Big Worm's and other crazy stuff.

Jim M: Shapiro's Method Vulcan is sick to see...but it was much better when done by Mark Kenney, who invented it. He called it the "Beesting". It was pretty sick to see Kenney win Malibu Open last year, then an almost-Aussie (a Kiwi) Jeff Weatherall win it this year...and actually before Jeff rode, he wrote a dedication to Mark on his board. It was really touching.... what a sick clean run he had.

Don't miss Dallas' run either - many people say it's the best run by a woman EVER.

Dallas did have a clean run, big raley, wrapped kgb, couple roll to reverts, but still it looked like this...

Not to take away from Dallas's run, but it would be nice if she layed one finger on her board on atleast one trick in her run.

WHat kind of bindings does Jim ride?

yeah, i was there. it was awesome. he tore it up.

Jeremy Coe · Soul Rider Joined: 27 Feb 2003 Posts: 408 City: Auckland

Porterwake, do you mean Jeff maybe? I know he's sponsored by Jobe so they could be the methods, but they sort of look like Nice bindings...I cant really see.

DudeManWes and brook is fine, totally agree. No grabs, an ugly trickski 3, which looked like it was only thrown in so she wouldnt get 0 composition points for not having any spins. Sure it was a great run, but the girls on tour should sort out some style.

Sorry if that sounds harsh, but the truth hurts.

Jeremy, I pissed myself at that 'almost aussie' call this morning... I was waiting for someone to say something. Mr. Green

Just kidding

it looks to me like weatherall had highbacks but i could be wrong.

Jeremy Coe · Soul Rider Joined: 27 Feb 2003 Posts: 408 City: Auckland

ghettolake415, after taking a second look, I agree with you.

And when you think about it... Hyperlite and Jobe are pretty much the same company so that would be logical.

Porterwake · Posted: Jul 31, 2003 9:57 am Post subject:

Well I know hyperlite and Jobe are owned together, but I still say if your sponsored by a company, you should ride their bindings! I don't know, I'm just a loyalist, but I think that's the way maybe it should be.

Yeah that run was pretty sick. However, i have a friend that rides with him back home and he said he usually dosent go to big, and you can see that on some of the tricks in that vid. But I guess with a run like that it dosent matter if you go big haha. He does have killer style as well.

that guy is awesome, he can definitely land blind....

Adkinson tore it up too - I couldnt believe how hard of a cut he took on that elephant 3.

The girls seem to be really stagnant. They dont even look very enthused about riding.... I think emily's o/a 5 was the ugliest ive ever seen anyone do Shocked

I've had the pleasure of riding with Jeff a few times. He's very underrated.

His bindings are actually 2002 Parks with the 03 overlays and his board is a Jobe.

J-Dub, if i remember correctly he was riding hibacks at the Malibu Open when i shot this footage.

scott a · Ladies Man Joined: 13 Jan 2003 Posts: 9810

Here's a shot of Jeff on the podium and you can clearly see the bindings.

Cool, he needed some new bindings.
