every one is so stoked that reed hansen was creative enough to try and land a indy fligerflip but............

Greg Van Wagnen use to go for them HUGE and land on them in 2003.
the closest he came was when he landed on one and got caught in the limbo and couldent quite pull it out......not really a land but very close.

are there any tricks that you think you were the first to do on a wakeskate? but didnt get credit for????

and no footy for the finger-flip he only tried them for one day......

i think someone should go for a legit fingerflip and flip it by the tail.

landing on a trick isnt the same as landing a trick. Props to greg for getting so close back then, but it isnt the same. i dont know why he would get that close and not keep trying.

when reed hansen does his fingerflip does he grab it near the middle of the board and intiate the flip? i can't even tell from the video he does it so perfect, i don't see how he flips it like that from an indy grab position.

ive always dreamed of grabbing a roastbeef and twisting it around into a indy..... i should start trying. that was when i couldnt even like inside out ollie lol..

i used to ride with greg back then alot and never saw that, not saying ur lieing but if it was as cool as u say he shoulda filmed it and claimed otherwise its as pointless as a rumor.

i wanna see kickflips to indy, way cooler

headhuntermx4, i know......he just wouldnt try it again. ask him i bet he doesnt remeber tho lol... where did you and greg ride at......because im talking about when he lived in ohio.

BillyOLDS · Posted: May 18, 2008 4:55 pm Post subject:

when he moved to tampa, jimmie and i rode with him alot. his whole ollie impossible was with me, or at least the videos on here. to be fair greg rode the shortest line ever, not saying he wasnt good but he def liked the rope pulled in to like 65ft, if he was almost doing indy finger flips back then im sure they werent too huge. reed pulled one in a contest, thats why hes getting all the rave and rightfully so. greg is one of many of us that shoulda coulda and didnt... he was a sick rider and one of the first people i knew that wasnt getting exposure and was landing kickflips all the time. but his attitude was more for the fame and sponsors than the love it seemed and imo why he never kept with it.

oh im not taking anything away from reed he fvcking kills it and his finger flips are beautiful......but yeah greg did this a few months before he moved down to florida.

so about the impossible........chase told me he had done wayyyy better ones than the one you got on camera.....is that true???????/

bigtwake, yeah but sooooo many people critsied that one

BillyOLDS · Posted: May 18, 2008 7:20 pm Post subject:

yeah for sure his first one was so sick and no doubt, the ones on film where done my justin scotts older brother jim b4 he even thought of flatline. the ones on film are legit imo, i see where some hate, but whatever, at that time everyone hated on everything unless u road a cassette, and had everything on film crystal clear lol. funny thing was he was on a cassette but yeah, the first ones were nasty.

kornhouse, Agree, that or by nose or go for the whole shabang and go for the Sal Flip.

headhuntermx4, Robin, namesake of New Wakeskates, has been landing on full on vert stylie w2w kickflip indys. Only a matter of time before he has them. For proof ask no further than Andy P.. Hella impressive considering the dudes almost 40 and has 5 kids. What's up youngins!!!Ain't gonna let an old man take you out now are ya, hahaha
