wow, that is just crazy. I wonder how high the bar can be raised. It's not like skating where if you want more air you build a bigger jump. A human can only get so much pop off the water and wake and not as much as you can on a wakeboard I would imagine. I'm really excited to see where this sport goes.

weve all had this arguement on wakeskating.com and we came to the conclusion that a hard flip is a fs shuvit + kickflip...

Che, you're right. It confuses people 'cuz the axis of the shuvit is so high so compared to a varial kickflip so it almost looks like a different move.
