They did say that its not everyday you run a backflip on the cover, I think his style is rad. I could see Dieter pulling one.

I'm really surprised one hasn't been done yet. I guess nobody is really trying them but still...

I remember back in the early days of this website it was talked about frequently... And hated on highly I might add. One kid even made a bogus board and tried to pass it off as real. Either way, things have changed and it could be done (for sure) . Given the right person does it the right way there is a posability that it could be cool.

TS backflip most likley.

I'd like to see dieter or sumone land one wake2wake then publicly denounce the trick.

The strappers gotta keep sumthing to impress chicks with. If a wakeskater flips then what's left for the wakers? Raleys?

Bamalurker, all that money they have should continue to keep the stupid skanks with tramp stamps hanging around

as long as they make light beer, luxury suvs, mainstream rap and tanning oil

there will still be strappers

what do you think is worse, how wakeskaters feel about wakeboarders or how skaters think of wakeskaters?
