OG Comeback? (Parks and Shapiro)

I heard some rumors a while back that Parks and Shapiro would be making a return to the tour this summer. Anyone know if there is any truth to this? Let's hope so, maybe Zane and Murray will join in as well.

I don't think Murray has stopped doing the tour yet. he might have missed it one year due to injury though.
Parks is always hurt though. I dont think him not doing the tour was by choice. It would be awesome to see Shapiro back on the tour though. I heard he has been working on some new stuff lately.

I would love to see Parks on the tour again.

Anyone catching him on Nitro Circus having fun with Travis Pastrana?

(andy_nintzel)

Sbend 5?

like an x mobe 5 (I thats the name for a sbend to handle pass 3 aka sbend+313) or an sbend to blind or what? Ive never seen him do an sbend 5

(ryan_shima1)

Adam, he does them in the old video six pack. (S bend to blind)

Parks has been in two episodes of nitro in teh last 3 weeks. Anytime there's water/boats involved.

In one ep, Parks rode behind Travis' boat, but they shafted him with what looked like a stock ballast wake. What fun is that?

Shapiro is the man, it would be so sick to see him back out competing!

Yeah, and they were pulling Parks in the worst possible water ever. No wonder they only showed him getting up and doing one jib.

Zane and Murray were in the Tour last year.

Adam, a X mobe is a switch Pete.
A S-bend is a a backside overhead 3, and a 313 is a frontside 3. so that would be like a sbend to revert 3. That would just be crazy!!!

(luke_j) · (luke_j) **Join Date: Jul 2008** 04-08-2009, 7:09 AM

i think thats a s-mobe. It's just a further rotation of a vulcan

(vlxwakeboarder)

His riding is ridiculous. When you throw a pete rose 15 feet into the flats you are doing something serious. The pete rose is one trick you see everyone throwing wake to wake even the riders that are known for going large.

Push Process has Rathy doing a Pete 5 a bit into the flats. I'd love to get a chance to see Parks and Shapiro back in a contest. Keepin the fingers crossed that MAYBE they'll enter PWT#2 up here in Wisco.... haha

Ah yes, Bigpapa an x mobe is a switch pete. thanks for the correction. S-mobe is what I was thiking. I know what sbends and 313s are I just dont know what Nintzel was refering to with "Sbend 5" but I think we cleared it up as an sbend to blind

(andy_nintzel)

Adam that is is what I meant. S-Bend to Blind
