-LoGiK-, it's not a crime for someone to be pumped on a trick and post about it. A lot of people are acting like this trick was just put in a major film that's representing wakeskating and our "legitimacy" depends on it. It's not any of that, and was filmed and submitted by someone who, from what I gather, has nothing to do with aaron. It's not like juggler is some 15 year old who's trying to make a big deal out of things. Whatever enthusiasm he has seems genuine and not "cool guy" at all.

I'll be the first to admit that I will be really outspoken at times, but sometimes you (the general you) need to let it go.

electricsnow, Your right it's not a crime, and No one said anything personal against Juggler or Aaron nor were they being ridiculed...Nor is anyone holding a grudge against them....Just a small discussion stemmed out from his original post on whether or not dragging your butt/hand should count as a land. No one is going to hate on him because he didn't land it nor will they hate on him for posting it.

The trick is neat, it looks super cool, I know I can't do it , but it just wasn't landed

no hate.... Cool

There are two sides here, as there are in every story. If one side (people not wanting to get excited about a one footed drag out) are needing to let it go, then the other side (people stoked about a super sick trick that was not landed clean) are also needing to let go that people don't want to accept this.

Just in case there is any doubt, I have seen Aaron stomp this 100% perfect. He's one of the nicest guys I've ever met and he absolutely SHREDS.

It's better to sketch on a landing, than fall (in a competition) and have it just count as nothing, not a land, not a fall. At least you would not end your run, therefore allowing you to finish your run, hopefully with some clean hammers.

i don't think he was riding at the correct speed to say he landed that, plus it's raining, it made it easier for him to slide it out.

Everybody in this thread hating on the OP is bad at wakeskating anyway. Why don't you go claim to be a filmmaker with your vimeo channel.

i don't know about ya'll but when i'm riding with friends it's always a fun sight when someone pulls out of what should have been a fall.

i dont think juggler commented on the legitamacy of the trick. i think he saw someone throw a sick trick he hadnt seen before and posted. should the guy get a plaque for doing it? no. sick nonetheless

Worst thread ever. Except for the exceptional one footed riding. Oh, and the salute. Both made me smile!
