Take nine of the top pro wakeskaters to a hidden riding spot in the middle of the desert, add some rails and a film crew, and you will have a recipe for some sick wakeskating.

I just got back from watching it. Justin did a nice job with it. Kinda funny how he put in all the construction shots without much speaking. The little guy in there doing a lot of the work (the one that got the cut leg they show) is my good friend Danny Semick. He put a lot of work into those rails they built. Great video!

I think the vidio could've used a few more rails...

just saw it. It was great. Can you say, kick-flip. Seems like every pro can do them now. I especially liked the huge shuvits Hampson was throwing over the flat box. Just wish the film was longer, but I haven't gone through all of the extras yet.

Dutch, the extras are awsome! I love the "almost section"

sweet, I'm going to watch all the extras tonight. I got home at 11pm last night but had to watch the film. Just didn't have time to go through all the extra. I had to be up at 5am. But tonight I don't have to work my second job.

Dutch, witch extras section was your favorite?

I liked Hapsons extra riding section and then Grubb's attempted kick-flip body varial (or what ever they were calling it). That was amazing. I can't believer how good all of those guys are now. Even when I was at Worlds this past season it didn't seem like most of the guys where near the level they were at in this film. Ya, I know they have all day to do one trick in the film, but damn these guys really have raised w-skating to another level.

It was nice to see everyone out riding and not just one team of riders.

The interviews were kinda lame. "fur sure" - Byerly

it was phat, whatever it was.

I almost forgot about the Employee of the month. --Good stuff, that Scott guy is quite an employee. Laughing

Man, I'll have to check it out. I saw the pics in WBM and it looked to a great flick. I heard that Hampson tears it up in there. If it's anything like his section in Sfmato I can't wait to check it out

They do show a lot of his attempts though in the Almost section too. So everybody's a winner!
