The next big trick

LFADAM · Posted: Mar 03, 2006 7:11 pm Post subject: The next big trick

It seems likely that the 1080 will be the next big trick landed but its really not the next big trick because Parks already landed it. So what do you think and want the next big trick landed will be? One that gets everyone riled up like the 1080? I cant wait to see...

i think we'll see a kgb 7 within a couple years. Sean O'brien has got a mean kgb 5...i think he can take it to 7 over time..

I'd like to see a TS BS 7... Triple Invert or Mobe 7 IMO would be quite ugly...

JV your thinking of the Big Johnson. it's a Toe-side whirly seven. so actaully a big wurm pulled to blind. i know Josh Palma does them, but i've never seen SOB do one.

thanks midwest. speaking of josh palma, how come he doesn't get more publicity? he's also the only person i've ever seen land a heelside double whirly (a whirly 7 without a handle-pass)

midwest wake · Addict Joined: 13 Oct 2003 Posts: 629 City: Middleton

actaully parks invented that trick. way back in the day he could do them off the wake. i haven't seen palma do a Whiry 7, but i know he's done big wurm 9's (think he's the only one?). so basically, a toe-side double whirly.

Josh Palma doesn't get uch coverage b ecause he's more of a freerider. i've never really seen him in any big contests. let alone the pro tour, where just about all coverage comes from.

I would love to see a BS 9 next.

shane bonifay does a ts bs 7 in mix tape although one of the handlepasses is ole but its still freakin awesome

LFADAM · Posted: Mar 04, 2006 5:14 pm Post subject:

Id really like to see any of them, Im just waiting for a hardcore west coaster to say, "Id rather see a poked method." I like methods, but there isnt nearly the "HOLY @#&@*@!!! Shocked

" factor. I think a HS BS 900 would throw a wow more than a TS BS 720, but Im not sure if there will be another big hype trick like the 1080. Nobody crapped their pants when they saw a whirly 7, whirlydick, or TS BS 5, even a Double Half Cab Roll... Maybe the wow factor would be back if a rider landed 2 of them...like a TS BS 7 and HS BS 9 or a Crow Mobe 7 and a Triple Backroll. The 1260 would definetely do it, but frankly I dont see it happening any time soon...eventually athletes plateau a little...I mean snowboarders can build bigger jumps but you can only make a wake so big before your boat sinks. It was a huge deal when people started dunking at the free throw line but thats kinda where it stopped. Nobody (that I know of) dunks from the 3 pt line. I think the same thing will happen with the 1080/1260....atleast until the youngest Soven reaches his prime...

triple invert would be cool to see Mr. Green

hasnt shapiro gotten close to a triple frontroll?

wakeboardwillis · Soul Rider Joined: 22 Dec 2004 Posts: 275 City: Clare

I think it was Shapiro that wakeboarding magazine showed attempting a triple front a few months ago and he was close.

LFADAM · Posted: Mar 04, 2006 7:03 pm Post subject:

Ya I remember Shapiro trying a triple HS frontFLIP, hes got the speedball (double) dialed so maybe he can get a triple, he is past his prime though.

Hes almost landed a tripple hs front.... hes old... its now or never for him

Stewie · Posted: Mar 05, 2006 8:29 am Post subject:

A 1260 is very possible once people start landing 1080's. There is a big gap between difficulty when you throw in an extra handlepass (like the 900 to the 1080,), but once a bunch of people start nailing 1080's, it's just an extra frontside 180, so it shouldn't be too difficult.

JV · Posted: Mar 05, 2006 8:36 am Post subject:

but since most people are attempting 1080's with blind landings, the extra 180 would incorporate another handle-pass

Stewie · Posted: Mar 05, 2006 9:49 am Post subject:

JV, correct me if I'm wrong, but i don't think that a handle pass around the front is considered a real handle-pass. Plus, eventually, people will get so good at 1080's, that they won't land blind.

JV · Posted: Mar 05, 2006 10:06 am Post subject:

Stewie, maybe i'm confusing myself, but on the 1080 attempts i've seen, everyone tries to land with the handle behind their backs in one hand. for a 1260, the rider would have to grab the handle from behind their back before landing and spin the extra 180. i guess i would consider that the third behind the back handle pass. much like taking a toeside 7 to 9. for the 7, you only need one behind the back handle pass (landing blind), but the 9 requires two. i've yet to see anyone even attempt a trick with three behind the back handle passes, so the 1260 may be a long time coming

Passing the handle in front of you is still considered a handle pass. You are still passing the handle from one hand to another right? Personally I don't think that 1080's are ever going to get easy and I don't think a 1260 will ever be landed. Wakes and boards are going to have to go through some crazy advances for it to get to that point. I think the next really cool thing is a nice big method...

I think it'd be cool to see like a double grabbed 7(not wrapped or ole). Personally I like to see big floaty airs with legit grabs, see Ben Greenwood's Stale poke in the latest WBM, so sick!

Does Harris do a double grab 7 in myside? Maybe its a 5. Sick any which way.

Hanson is getting close to a TS BS 7

shane could have landed a TS BS 7 at a PWT stop a couple years ago. off the double-up, he went for a TS BS 5 and got booted huge. he had the 540 all the way around when he was still 3 feet above the wake. he even had to rewind it a bit resulting in him being "bounced" into 3/4ths of a front flip upon landing. had he known he was going to get that kind of pop, i have no doubt he could have taken it to 7

holdsworth · Posted: Mar 05, 2006 4:43 pm Post subject:

i'm leaning towards the TS BS 9 also. it might look a little ugly at first because it might be hucked, but after a few months, i think it would look really clean.

Jimmy Wolf does a double grab HS 7 in the DVD "Premier vm1"

Josh R · Posted: Mar 05, 2006 7:52 pm Post subject:

I don't think we'll be seeing a triple front out of Darin, I don't believe he's riding anymore.

I personally would really like to see a BS 9. That would get me excited.

out of those tricks i think the 1260 will be the sickest...although any of them would be nice...but im hoping to see some tricks that are more technical first...example sean's off axis grabbed osmosis 540...i'd like to see a double grab osmosis 5

(kinda off subject)has anyone seen the 1260 on a snowboard? that was crazy

So Darin is old huh? How old is he? Question

I think we'll see a heel back 9, or toe back 7 from Hansen this season.

I think Matt Sims' 009 is pretty amazing. Maybe not as hard as these tricks but creative. What do you guys think about it?

All these super technical tricks look sloppy. I realize they're hard and all but it just doesn't look good and doesn't get me pumped to ride. I'd much rather watch someone do a big slob front to fake or a grabbed 5 than some super technical trick. IMO, this is a problem with wakeboard comps and is hurting wakeboardings popularity. The same is true in snowboarding, though to a lesser extent. I thought Shaun White's "victory lap" run was much cooler than his gold metal run. Everything was big, slow and smooth. Having said all that, an air handle pass KGB would drop my jaw. Too bad no one is going to "waste" their time learning an air trick anymore.
