I suggest talking about the different ways wakeskating happens, winch, ski, boat, cable, ect. hell even a car! and thats why its so fun and diverse, and you dont have to be filthy rich to do it and have fun with it.

Also for the history aspects I suggest mentioning Daniel Lovett for all of his firsts. Him and Horrell were the first ones flipping a deck... and blowing minds. Smash

The Kid, You're pretty close. But a few of those are wrong (common misconceptions really)
The corrected list:

Kickflip: Morpheus

Varial Flip: Morpheus

Frontside Flip: Morpheus

Hardflip: Morpheus

Backside Flip: Morpheus

360 Flip: Morpheus

Backside Bigflip: Morpheus

Heelflip: GVW and Morpheus both landed it at the same time.

Front Bigflip: Morpheus

Backside Flip 360: Morpheus

There are many more, but they were all landed by Morpheus first.
