i think style is really important in wakeskating, i wanna hear everyones opinion on it? what riders style do you guys like most?
i really like nick and andy p's style because everything they do is really solid, popped, legit and clean, and all their flip tricks are nice n' flicked too. its just flawless.
i really like dannys too, his lip lines flow so nicely, you cant tell if he's riding switch or regular either, skate style flip tricks too. lemons and kyle hyam's riding flow really nicely too
ben horan, best flip tricks on a wakeskate, his riding is identical to skating
stu shin and a reed go huge on everything w2w no watter what it is and make it look good.
and of course thomas horrel, he is the definition of wakeskating _________________ Team Dream Sleds

| Style is what makes every rider different. IMO, steez is what many riders share. |

style is always important, its important for tricks that have been around for a long time, like shuv variations and kickflips.
i dont think wakeskating is old enough for style to really matter on new tricks. if somebody did a wake to wake tripple flip, i bet everyone would be stoked even if it was super mobbed and ridden away barely.
thomas horrell, danny hampson, and nick taylor have the best all around style too

style is key to make you look unique out there.
Gnarly Dancer 42, i dont know if i can agree with you on that one. wakeskating isnt young enough for new tricks to be sloppy/mobbed/barely riden away etc. |

bob., You pretty much summed it all up for me.
Although ill add Grubb in there for one of the most flawless w2w riders. His consistnacy is like no others in the biz.
Clint Tompkins dominates on rail, his rail style is crazy, Who hardflips off inclines? Oh ya.. Clint does. Also his gap and winching capabilities... incredablely steezy.
Not many of you know who Danny Martinez is... But hes probly one of the most stylish riders out there. Hes is redicously everything he does screams steez. Someone mentioned someone as being a steezologist in another thread. Well Danny deffintly has a degree in steezology if not a masters in it. When i saw him do a back one, it was like the first time i heard the Beatles, he like pokes it then turns backside... its incredable. He gets me so stoked to ride its not even funny.
