Are we missing the boat?

Where have wake to wake tricks gone? I love lip tricks and rails, but I haven't seen any new sh#t go down wake to wake in forever. Don't get me wrong, I love tech tricks, but I think we need to see some of the newer tricks (ie. backside bigspin) taken bigger and more stylish. I miss seeing stuff like Reed's Sfumato W2W Kickflip, or his huge method in SNAP, or Thomas' shifty in Sfumato.

Anyone else miss seeing that stuff? Question

yah i think wake to wake is a big part of wakeskating and i think more people should be doin them. your only excuse for not doin em is if u dont have access to a boat with a real wake. i also want to see the pro tour go to a boat format i think the seadoo is pretty lame to watch all they do is a bunch surface crap and gay shuvs.

...andoutcomethewolves, yeah I've noticed that to, I agree more W2W, expand the tech tricks more hesh we need more hesh

The thing about W2W is there's no cheating [read surface spins] and it really steps a trick up when a trick get's taken W2W.Take kickflips,when I first saw them it was like right on, cool.But when I first saw Reeds W2W kickflip I was like OMG Twisted Evil

Lip tricks are great and all and will always be a big part of the sport but stepping those tech trick's up to W2W is where it's at IMO.
