Pro Tour, Do I have what it takes?

Parky · Guest

vance, my throw down was, shuv, switch fs bigspin, oille 180s, and a bunch of lip stuff, unfortunetly I fell on a 3 shuv...

I havn't been behind a boat inawhile for wakeskating so I didn't try an lip shuvs out and stuff becuase I didn't want to fall, but after the comp I was free riding with a friend and I was landing most of my lip shuvs out stuff

im re-thinking doing orlando next year, its just hard im getting mixed ideas in my head, I am only 15 and after thinking about it when ever I thought I would be doing the pro tour it would be around 16-17 years old, so probably not next year, ill see how I do at nationals and how I do next year on the local tour then ill see what I want to do,

"I ride because I like to ride. not because i have to."

vance I couldn't of seen a better post out of you Very Happy

I say no lets take a look at the local tour you ride on. You may want to dominate your local tour before you think you can ride the pro tour!

Parky, i jsut find it hard 2 believe from your low budget film from last summer that your good enuf to be on a pro tour. all u did in that video was surface spins.

Parky · Guest

IM NOT GOING TO DO THE PRO TOUR NEXT YEAR

Parky, half the people on that list werent even at the woods lake stop. NO one even landed a wake jump. I was very unempressed with most of the riding emphisis on most. Your run was pretty good but i wouldnt be running to the pro tour. UR advantage is u ride behind a boat like a seadoo so u dont have to do wake stuff but trust me it improves ur riding ten fold. Also you are a very consistant rider so that does help out alot just from when i watched you just work on popping everything including your bigspins and it will look 1000x better. ITs not an insult you just need to work more on stuff like pop.

Catalyst, bob and justin weren't there yes, and ya no one did w2w stuff, but wakeskating isn't all about w2w, My riding behind the boat isn't as good as behind my zod becuase im not totally used to the big wake but im learning, and ya I need to learn to pop my stuff like you but that comes with time, I know next year im not ready, its just the idea got in my head when Ten-80 wanted me to and Chase G. told me I could do it... but I wont be doing it next year

i was told by a few people that i could qualify but im not even gonna try til i get stuff alot more consistent. my best totally consistent trick is 360 shuv. i have a mental block against bs bigspins now and kickflips are gettin more consistent. i have 5 so far

wakeskating on the tour is a joke anyway they need to ride behind a boat not a stupid pwc and more people would then watch and it wouldnt look like water ballet. Seriously watching millions of surface spins is the worst thing you could ever possible see
