Looks like its from the inside of the wake giving him some launch, if you say its off flat then I agree w/ the BS.

something called the sweet spot... notice how theres no wake in the background? you hit the sweet spot right when you get up and it bucks you...

rukusrider103, word dude, but i ride behind a seadoo all the time and thats a big fizzle ollie, i take back my BS from earlier, due to ryan pointing this out.

rukusrider103, have you ever had someone create a wedge when getting up. I've seen some really big shovits from it. the driver cranks to the right(or left for goofers) when pulling out then back to normal and it creates a wedge to launch off of

Negative. It IS off of that wedge thing Russian is talking about, but it's still the highest ollie I've ever seen.. ever. He could clear Thomas's head Very Happy

RUSSIAN, yea thats the sweet spot im talking about... if you look closely you can see thomas turning to the left a little to create one for him... i mean its real.. but no big deal.. its good marketing tho.. get your best rider to ollie as high as possible over and over for a photo as if to say "yea look how high you can get on this board!" i mean dont get me wrong thats high and pretty sick but... i kinda see threw it you know? why else have a pic of a pro doing an ollie? wakeskatings progressed past ollies. does anyone else see what im saying?

I hear ya, MARKETING. The photo is sick, but it's also perspective from a low camera angle. Like I said, I've seen shove's that are close to that high, and a second deck was not needed, just skill!

And for all the haters(or sheep, whatever you prefer) I'm not dissin, just sayin look a little deeper at things before you blow your wad Very Happy

I'm going to have to partially disagree with you Ryan, wakeskating can't be "past" any tricks, there's something timeless about a smooth simple trick that just looks good.

But it sure is a sly "hint".

seven11dmd, first off i lost all respect for u! u call bs and then take it back because ryan disagrees with u!?!!!?
