Raph: Beyond Perception
 
It must be a slow Thursday and nobody has posted this yet, but it is amazing. I hope everyone has see this web edit and is just choosing to not talk about it for some reason...

SW and regular w2w 10s, doubles and amazing 2.0 winching. Raph is an amazing rider and athlete!

So incredible. reg and switch 10s, all four 9s, Double roll, toe back 7, and he dominates winching and cable. All of that wall transfer stuff was insane!!! Raph is the best in my book.

He's like the Danny Macaskill of wakeboarding...

"He's like the Danny Macaskill of wakeboarding" Exactley

I was thinking American Ninja Warrior!

So much progression from the days of the "projects" witch im sure Ralph gained inspiration from

Great video

Just on another level.

I dont even know what to say........

that was.....

that was, what's next...

I think I might have to call it a game and hang up my board....my mind just exploded.

Just so good! :)

mind blown

Whole other level, unimaginable rails and lines, straight video game stuff. But that song was on a whole other level of terrible, I think I got an ear bleed.

Dissociative 10-16-2014 7:51 PM

Yeah it was sick!

Loved the part where he jumped three blocks, looked like a video game!

And all the rail hits after another, he had like one second of prep time to ollie over em and stuff!

Definitely one of the best!

It's crazy when a double at the end feels...anti climactic.

I don't know what the plateau in rail riding is but he might be the one to find it with all of the creativity and intentionality he brings to our sport. Such an awesome edit.

Dustfarter 10-16-2014 11:20 PM

Amazing! Next level stuff.

If I was betting on a wake death pool though. I'd pick him.....lots of sketch + zero protection

Did you notice that there was a small crash reel on the boat riding, but very few crashes on the rails and winching. Maybe he just nails it every time since he would die if he didn't.

brhanley 10-17-2014 8:43 AM

Great (but short) boat section with tech, grabbed 900+ spins + innovative System 2.0 feature riding + insane winching = he's good, he he (Billy Madison voice). Wow, where's Part 2?

fly135 10-17-2014 9:16 AM

Awesome. I would eat it so bad trying to hit that stuff.

tripsw 10-19-2014 6:26 PM

Wow.

Incredible what Raph has been doing since his comeback after his injury. First year win every important System 2.0 comp around the world, then last year's video, now on to this. Insane.

lfadam 10-24-2014 10:50 AM

Unreal.

The nose TS BS 5 and poked Tail HS BS 7 were so dope...and the indy double TS Backroll of course.

That 2.0 riding was insanity. The obstacles right after he landed was new. That wall/rail must have been near 20 feet high!!! The double wall rides/transfers?! I loved the rooftop with the horizontal gap too, so tight.

Amazing video.
