Best riding ever

Talk about skills! Missing see new stuff from Randy Harris but this will do. I could only imagine the weight they have in that thing :eek:

Look how early he finished the 10, progression won't stop here. As soon as winter sports went 12, the progression exploded. If as many rode in summer at this level as do in winter and it would have already. Hope these new wake surfing boats end up used in the hands of these guys and the progression will explode and more guys will execute. This is huge for wakeboarding. Isn't x games summer bringing back wake more than the double up event now being held?? For these guys I really hope that's the case cause they deserve it.

damn!!!!

SO SICK!!! the past 10 years have been in Wake have been SO DOPE!! ever since Danny landed his 1080 behind the boat the sport has gone crazy with progression. every couple of years, or even within the same year riders are pulling off tricks we once thought were impossible. Doubles are now common among top riders in competition!!

If only these boats were more affordable.....

I remember the 1080 contest for the first one caught on film (video, not the first ones ever landed - credit to Parks and Mark Kenney), and it seemed to take ages. Everyone was coming close...then Danny finally got it. Back then, I would never have imagined a video like Dowdy's, but like Alex said, as soon as Danny landed it it felt like everyone took a breath and started charging harder. The new G wakes certainly don't hurt either :) I think I'll watch that vid a few more times...
