Trick urgency

I have noticed in a couple of Danny Hampson's sections (Push Process and Such is Life) that he almost rides with an urgency to get his tricks in.

It is great to watch his lines because it is almost spontaneous riding.

Do you ride with a plan (routine or work on certain tricks) or whatever happens, happens (flow)?

depends on if i'm filming of not. if i'm filming i think of the lines that i would wanna get on film and do them. but not urgently, people say i have a good flow to my riding. dont really know what it means

but if i'm not filming i use my wakeskate as a paint brush and the water as my canvas

danny's lines are always rapid fire... Cool

I don't know. Generally I'll start with a trick that I want to do and after that I think it depends on what feels right and what is there to use, what comes to mind, or how I might want to transition back to regular if I'm riding switch, etc.

miller, i love that about him, he just throws tricks so fast, i try to do that with my lip lines, really fast throwing them on and off and whatever. i think it looks better and shows more consistnacy when u are able to go transition from trick to trick without thought and having to configure your feet.

I try to be laid back, but I always seem to be running the line through my mind before it plays out. however small that line might be

♥ Danny. His lip lines in Narla are just amazing. I wish i could throw my tricks that fast. I always allow a couple seconds to think of what to do next. Usually with a couple slayshes and stuff in between tricks. I like to let it flow and do whatever comes to mind when it comes to mind. If i'm filming then i'll generally throw stuff a little bit faster but i usually don't have any particular line in my head until i'm doing it.

adapt a jedi's mentality to wakeskating\\\\\\\don't think.......feel.

where there is hesitation all is lost.

i love danny's style.

i go out for a trick, and like the snowmaker said...if i land that then it becomes spontaneous and start to get a rythm...something i notcied about Danny's style is that he links big tricks together with small tricks and puts together a phat deisel run.

Slapdown, i still like what u said the other day about letting your muscles go loose and relax completely........this allows for less interference and strictly the HNIC business.

i've noticed that from Danny, M@M, and Hansel, they know those cameras are rolling and it's go time. put up or shut up.

Gotta rush, make it urgent
Want it quick, make it urgent
Urgent, urgent, emergency
Urgent, urgent, emergency
Urgent, urgent, emergency
Urgent, urgent, emergency
So urgent, emergency

"The successful completion of every single maneuver I do on a board, no matter how easy or difficult, how new or old, big or small, depends on the presence of what I call "feeling the flow." When I ride, there is no routine whatsoever. I go out and do what the flow tells me to do. If I am feeling something, I do it. If I'm not feeling something and I try anyways, it won't be pretty. Attempting a trick that I'm not necessarily feeling at the time can make the most simple of tricks seem impossible. Doing an extremely difficult trick can be simple as pie if that's what I'm feeling at the time. When I say I put my heart and soul in every trick, I really mean it because that's what's guiding me."-Randall Harris
