thatd be a kickass move if some could atleast do the trick, even if they didnt land it

itd brob have to be a concave, otherwise a flat deck would catch. thats a good q though.

I got up darkside, but i only rode for a minute before the concave of the tail gave me a nose dive. i was thinking about a half flip inside out but it must be hard as shizzle to ollie!

My buddies and I were talkin about the darkslide the other day. Seems "possible" yet it also seems like "broken bones in failed attempts". Unless of course you're referring to sliding the wake ... then "prodigy" comes to mind. Doable though.... Shocked

Umm.. didnt Drew McGuckin do one in an old WakeBoarding Mag? He like ollied up the lip and did like a half kickflip. Then he landed on the wake in a darkslide, but the sequence ended with him sliding and they never said if he flipped it back or not. Im going to assume he didnt flip it back over.

I dont have the magazine but if anyone knows which one it is maybe they could be nice and scan it....

WaKeSk8er209, that was kinda a joke...u cant half flip out of a darkslide on the water

stompin9s, i understand it was a joke, but im just saying ya some people have thought of doing them and tried.

if you can kickflip off a rail you would think you would be able to just half-flip of it while in a darkslide....

You guys might want to let go of the bitterness and move on from the whole "morphine" thing. he doesn't even post here anymore, and there are way too many good things going on right now to be bitching about alleged darkslides...

Yeah, WBM had a shot of drew "darksliding" the wake.

Jimbob, I don't really forsee broken bones...I'm thinking more along the lines of broken baby-makers.

The darkslide would be a badass trick to land. Probably could be down.. Hard part being flipping it over and flipping it back... Neutral
