the thing is, did he even land it? I did not get a caption or any further descriptions to the photos I received...but he does look blunted because it looks like he's resting on a fin. But it's really hard to tell because the pics are kind of small...but epic none the less (like the setting and what not). Frontside tailslide or front blunt--they're both sick and worthy of a podium spot.

However, that set of stairs is pretty big, and for reed to land a varial flip down it is nuts...stinking awesome, actually. For whatever reason, the shot of his trick made me think of chris cole tre flipping wallenberg.

Anyway, I think it's all sick. And like the alliance write up said, the judges (whether it be at toe jam or even the other judges at nats, like kevco and perry) are super into clean style and clean landings. And overall, I think that's awesome because not only does it push the style coming from the riders, but it gives the crowd a better representation of wakeskating. So I think it's cool that they can push wakeskating from that standpoint as well.

A v-flip outta the pool...GTF audi Hansel.....shabby chic son.

that set is huge a v flip should have taken it. But that is a legit bluntslide. He has a fin and everything. People we need to wake up bluntslides are coming to wakeskating and this is proof. Everything about that is a bluntslide not a tailslide. I dont care who you are you should start accepting this trick.

we dont need to wake up.....

just go watch beans and rice.....thats where wakeskating is going

ben horan does numerous of nose blunts in this movie along with walton who does nose blunt back 180 out and he does a noseslide front 180 out on this picninc table setup they have.

walton also nose blunts a huggggggggggge down rail

sorry i even opened my mouth. There are just some people out there who dont think bluntslides are legit in wakeskating. They call them tailslides.

conwest, are you retarded? He did blunts and noslides. No one doubted that

sorry to change the subject but does anyone else think the ronix bi (or whatever hansel is riding) looks like a composite?

the man is right. it has to do with how you approach the rail
