a few things I thought should be considered were clint's kickflip out of the toe jam pool gap (just because that thing was high and the distance was also reasonably far, and it was popped and caught), and also that varial flip he did down that winch gap towards the end of his volume section.

Reed's fingerflip is also new for this year....AND wake to wake!

waterdork88, I think you have to buy the videos. issue 7 from volume, push process, I'm not sure if any of kyle's stuff is in homeless. It looked like he (or maybe rau) was trying some nollie variations.

i personally think d hamps fs biggerspin looked way more complicated than stus bs biggerspin

Both were insane but id say danny would take it

LiquidForce71, I think it was because Stu's was bigger and cleaner he made it look clean. Big props to danny for landing that though

you need to have the videos to judge best trick.... Just knowing what they did doesn't cut it....... I promise you that anyone here could land a a triple inward heel flip wake to wake, if they tried a million times, eventually you'll stick it once..... ITS HOW YOU STICK IT THAT MATTERS THOUGH> not what you stick. And again, to truly compare tricks you have to watch them all at the same time, back to back.... Then pic your winner..

anyone got any footage of Kyles tricks ?

PIRATE, i was there for his kickflip in texas, and i dont think it should be in the list. it was very sick, but not move of the year sick.

danny's 360 front big w2w was late, and absolutely nuts, the coolest thing ive ever seen in person on a wakeskate.

but in my opinion, andy's bs 360 kickflip FTW
