uhhh, whose idea was that?

Toeside BS 720- Shane Bonifay
Toeside Corked and Grabbed BS 720- Danny Harf
Toeside Off Axis 540- Danny Harf [source- wakeboarder.com, trustworthy?]

Toeside Double Backroll- Chad Sharpe
W2W Grab- Tony Finn [wild guess]

I wonder who invented the earlier tricks, like, who did the first twist, first indy glide...

heel 720 - Bylery

Wrecking Ball- Dave Briscoe He had a couple more, but thats the only one i know for sure.

moby dick 5 - derek grasman...

Wasn't the Raley invented by the trick skier Chet Raley?

And what the hell is this?
front 720 - ? <--pretty sure that one is yet to be landed.

Don't forget the whirly & Parks' double whirly

Slim Chance 540?

313-MURRAY

Stephan, by front I meant frontside. Although I would like to see a front flip 720!

Whirly - Bill McCaffrey (The first one is landed on Hit It)

parks landed the 313 first and then murray landed it right after on the very next set. murray spoke on this in a previous thread.

yes, it was named after chet raley. shapiro was training at the time and chet suggested the trick to him. he landed it that day and named it after his coach(?), chet raley.

belmont-murray

pretty sure the Bee-Sting was Shapiro

Sh*tpants Air - Me

erik, you may have that one, but i still got the grabbed 3 to face plant

Ok - fine.

Eyeball peeler = Jernberg
"Toeside roll junk-oww" = Me again

Fashion Air...?

TONY FINN!

Me reviewing the proof below...

KGB 5- Murray(i think)

Weren't there other raley based tricks that died, the 1-1-6, and the 311, 116, was like half an s-bend brought back, and the 311 was a toeide 911? I could easily be wrong, I'm youngf and basing this on a video game where
you can shoot 300 feet in the air, do a quadrupple backflip, but then on a different jump you can't spin more than a 720...

Mobey Dick = Keith Kipp

I thought Murray did the first KGB, not Necrason or Siebring.

Here's the KGB story...

Gregg and I had both just learned the roll to blind. We were not the first to do this. Byerly did it switch probably a year before but his was may more like a pete in the ending.

Gregg and I both saw the potential to take it the extra 180 so the race was on. Just before worlds 97, we both hit it on the same day. We don't know who hit it first because I went to Lake Picket that day and he stayed at Lake Kalarni (sp?)

Gregg went out and stuck one in the expression session at worlds a few days later. He also was the first to have a sequence run in WBM. Here's why Gregg is such a stand up guy. He could have easily taken full credit but he shared it with me. We also named it together although I came up with the name "KGB".

To answer some of the other trivia...
Front Flip - Shapiro I think (saw him do one in the 91 worlds on Kauai.)
Front to fakie - byerly
TS front - Shapiro
Batwing - Scott Harwood
Tantrum - Eric Perez
Tantrum to blind - Byerly or Gator
Roll to blind - Byerly
Back Roll - Navarro, Brugman, perez?????

Ryan, did you and Gregg hit the KGB wrapped or did you handle pass the first time you landed it?

Slim 540 is Josh Sanders, i didnt even know a dum dum 540 had been landed but Soven has dont it before. S Bend to blind is Shapiro. Theres even the Hasslehoff by Horrel and the Discombobulator by Schwenk. Its interesting to hear about Necrason cause i really didnt think he was a big deal but the more i hear he sounds like he was a big 2nd push of the sport forward.

Necrason used to throw the hugest elephants I've ever seen. I forget which LF video it was but they showed a few in Slow motion and he used to throw a full scarecrow then turn it back 180 at the last possible second, totally tweaked out still. Anyone know which video I'm talking about?

I think the "bee sting" was the late and great Mark Kenny

handle pass...

The beginning of the next season, Randall invented that second handle and the trick went from hard to easy overnight...

Necrason at the time was pretty big. He had a mix of style and tech long before it came the norm.

i think that video is wide awake. greg was also doin elephants huge in revolt i believe. he definitely throws the biggest and most legit elephants around.

Ryan S, wasn't the first backroll (toeside anyay) Kreg Llewellyn? Dubbed the "wake flip". Going quite a ways back now, but he was Skurfer's front man for a period of time...


Also, let's properly attribute the Ole 360 to the list of tricks my hero Tony Finn again!

moby dick 5 has been done by ricky G for about 4-5 years so derek grassman couldnt have stuck it first. who actually did it first im not sure

MORE PEOPLE GOTTA START DOING FRONTS TO BLIND!

ANDY, WHY ARE YOU YELLING Sent your vid out yesterday.

Erik, That's sick... Where did you get that?

That's that tony finn skurfer book. generally, you can find them on ebay.

erik, tony wasn't the first to do an ole and I wouldnt' use that book as a guide to who did what first, based strictly on the pictures. it says in the ole section that the guys at wiley's waterski shop "invented" that trick and it was later taught to tony in hawaii.

(Message edited by electricsnow on December 02, 2007)

electricsnow, obviously. Actually scratch that. No. Everything in that book is gospel and I won't be convinced otherwise.

Anyway that book is harder to find than you might guess. It's definitely around though. I don't see it on eBay much but I do see it on the Amazon shops from time to time. My copy is in decent shape but I'd like a "mint" one since it contains all of the knowledge about the sport that one will ever need.

(Message edited by juniorhawk on December 02, 2007)

It's Ok, no need to get sassy. If it makes you feel better, we can say that Tony did land the ever-critical "Ole" first.

And one of those books was on ebay for close to a month not too long ago. They aren't uber rare, it's just hard to get a copy that wasn't from a library or something.

Sorry to ruin your thread people...

jason, i glad to hear you ended your whole "claim" with im not sure,

derek landed it in the first tournament which was 2003 U.S. nationals the week before ricky landed it at boradstock and Derek had been doing it for 3 months before that, I saw him land it at a local tourny 2 weeks before nationals...


check your facts...

Can a mod please do something about ERIK JERNBERG's profile pic. Those who click on his profile should be warned of the content. We should not be subject to such grotesque images.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember being at a Sports LTD contest @ Paradise ski lakes in Bakersfield in July of 2003, Ricky landed the Mobey 5. Word at the contest was that he had been the first to ride away from that trick first time a week earlier. I believe Boardstock was in October that year.

I will correct myself. Early June of '03.

Pete 5 - Byerly
S-Bend/Vulcan/Hoochie - Mark Kenney
Whirly 5 - Murray
Whirly 7 - Parks
KGB 5 - Murray
Crow mobe 5 - Murray
Double Back Roll - Parks
Back Mobe 5 - Jeremy Kovak
Remix (wrapped slim chance) - The Vandall
Moby Dick - Brannan Johnson
90210 - Mark Macnamarra (Legend)

and most impressive of all.......

Square Raley - Shaun Belmont Murray. haha

electricsnow - I definitely didn't mean for that to come off as sassy/snarky. Sorry if it came out that way.

Jeff - noted. Pic is now censored! Sorry for the grotesque imagery...

(Message edited by juniorhawk on December 03, 2007)

so does that mean ricky g landed the moby dick 5 first. i always thought it was ricky g as well. but no matter who it was there is no need for someone to be rude about it this is just a discussion board not a congressional debate so chill out a little we're talkin wakeboard not politics. don't get heated and snarky just cuz someone might not be right when in fact you might not be right.

Dave - Pretty sure that Mark Kenney did not invent those tricks. S-Bend was Shannon Best, Hoochie Glide was Gator, and I'm thinking it was Shapiro who did the first Vulcan. Also the Mobey Dick was Keith Kipp (although it become one of Brannon's staples).

(Message edited by socalwakepunk on December 03, 2007)

I think Corey Kraut should be given credit with the invention of Monkeyed, Corked, or what we generally refer to as Off Axis spins.

Slo Ball- Jeremy Kovak

Isn't that just a Front Flip?

its a weird looking stalled out front flip

tweety bird- murray
x-mobe- byerly

x-mobe (switch pete) Shapiro

ryan, i stand corrected, i was just thinking back to how to ride a wakeboard and thought byerly said he invented it

SPECIAL K,

TONY KLARICH... I FILMED HIS FIRST LANDING AT CANYON LAKE...

I think it's actually zane and parks who came up with the vulcan. There was a WBM thing on it a long time ago...the two of them named it and I think parks actually landed it first.

if yall go to www.wakeboarder.com they have a trick list and on every trick it tells who invented/landed it first.

sorry misunderstanding tackleberry.

i meant to say that kenney was the first to grab those tricks hoochie.

ie: vulcan hoochie and vulcan s-bend

http://www.stokecity.ca/inverts.shtml thats pretty cool

Ahh, I see. Mark Kennney was probably the most talented rider on the planet. RIP

Bee Sting was Mark Kenney

parks did the vulcan. pretty sure dean L. had some help in naming it. parks did the first whirly 5.

I miss Dean.

parks did the vulcan first I helped him name it...mobe 5 was jeff heer...and a lot of these tricks wern't even named yet when some people did them, just had no idea what to name them...oh yeah Derek was the first to do a Moby 5...ask him...he was in Michigan on his home lake. ZS

Murray, didnt you do a whirly 9?

Aloha Mr Schwenk,

Just wanted to say hello!

it might be way above this, but shapiro hit the first toeside 900, not watson. It was in switch 22 which came out in 1998 or 99 but definitely before watson stuck it. shapiro did it on axis too; it was fairly soon after he made the switch from hyperlite to o'brien.

I think it was in another thread about 900s, but Watson was the first to stick a toe 9 in a comp.

ya watson hit the first one in a comp...but shapiro did his on video maybe a year before????

Steve Edwards was the first to stick a toe 9 in a comp

this may answer some of your questions
