Sorry Nick but Welcome was the worst wakeboarding flick of all time! Well, IMO!

Mayday is a classic. I actually watched it on the ipod on my way to work this morning. I really enjoyed the Butter Effect and Push Process as well.

Oh man... for me that's a VERY close between DRIVE and The Truth.... DRIVE gets a vote for innovation and pushing the envelope, and The Truth just has completely mind blowing camera angles and sounds.

12 honkeys (VHS fo sho - DVD sucked it)
Truth (Tino and Lyman's section makes me want to bind in on my couch!)
Push Process (great sounds)
Butter Effect (The FuelTv version - dont know why or how, but it is different AND BETTER)
Retrospect is killa

BennyBoy, I have that one on my desktop! Rich Dykmans has a mac page with that video clip and an older one that is pretty good too. Surprised we don't see more of Chris Dykmans, solid rider! I really like watching BG tweak out those grabs.

High wake drifters was great.

Gnarlist crash ever in that video. That guy lost a couple of feet of his guts to a ladder on a dock. What was that guy's name. He was a wakeboard/trick-skier, but could rip.

Retrospect. I believe it was Shaun Murray who said nobody needed to make another wakeboard movie after this... he was spot on.

If Retrospect had never been made: Natural Born Thrillaz and Transgression

no one ever mentions "six pack" or "my house" anymore- love those two movies. I think "six pack" or "mayday" are my favorites tho. Then I thought of "running with scissors" and "myside". there are so many cool movies from back in the day its crazy.
I just thought of "Tomorrow" that the Rook made-awesome...

Shafted, Relentless, and Transgression are my favorites. Shafted for the riding/Parks double ups/best of everything, Relentless for best feel/most stoke and watson's section, and Transgression for most enthralling cinematically and Randall's section.

x2 on being pumped for the Parks documentary...

mitchp1002 02-14-2009, 2:58 AM

Oh man, it makes me soo happy that some of my favs are other peoples fav.'s as well. I love Hit it! Mayday and even Skrufs up. They got me way excited about wakeboarding when I was in high school.

What's different about the dvd version of 12 Honkeys compared to the VHS version? I really liked the VHS version, but I'm out off VHS-player, so thinking of the dvd version...

Like F4A and Retrospect...

(kamighazi) · (kamighazi) **Join Date: Nov 2008** 02-17-2009, 7:59 AM

the dvd version added a couple quick clips\sceens. To me, it threw the whole mood. Since i have had the VHS version burned in my memory.

Don't get me wrong it's mostly the same, and i still watch the hell out of the DVD. But you know how they had that goofy story line, they added more crap at the end.

The only cool party about the DVD is the tossed a pretty badass wake sake section at the end with Clint Tomkin as a bonus.
