Are you being serious? I strongly doubt the possibility of anyone ever throwing a McTwist on a wakeskate.

sarcasm,,,,,

but i can assure you that someone will pull it in the next few years,,,, or some variation of it at least

last year people started hitting w2w kickflips, now most pros are hitting it all the time

progression moves quick once the barriers are forgotten or ignored

i heard its hard to ride in socal,,, due to availability of lakes or waterways, is that true?

Gotcha. I kinda thought you were being sarcastic, but I wasn't sure.

I don't think a McTwist will ever happen. I've never seen a wakeskater do a 540 or a front flip, much less combine the 2. There's guys who probably have the skill to do it, I just don't know how they'd keep the handle with them through the whole move. Wakeboarders can do it 'cuz they don't hafta hold the board so they can hang onto the handle the whole time.

I'm not much of a wakeskater/boarder so I can't comment on how difficult it is to ride down here. Some other more seasoned riders could probably comment on it.

WakeKid07, I thought I read somewhere that he came close to landing one or it was a varial flip.

Fredrick Eisenhauer, i watched the varial flip online about a month ago and that was amazing. he did a w2w kickflip too. both were extremely clean. i just got an email from my friend in orlando who is a real good wakeskater and he said on wakeboardingmag.com they have a video of george daniels doing a backside flip and landing it super smooth, i havent seen it yet tho. also i think he said grub did a varial.
