That was sick, do they do those full 11 minute videos for every stop on the wakeskating tour? If so, can't wait for the next one. But anyway, is it just me, or does anyone else think Ben Horan didn't deserve 1st? I mean I know I wasn't there and didn't get to see all his runs/tricks etc, but from what I saw in the video, I really gotta say it didn't seem like he was riding as well as say, Daniel Grant (I mean did you see that shuvit-360 or whatever he did over the rail? Sick) or some of the other guys. I'm no expert, but those are just my thoughts...

I seriously doubt anyone is getting punked. He's just new to wakeskating like we all were at one point, I can't imagine trying to figure out what maneuvers were harder in a contest like that when I first started.

bondmaxbondrock, Flip tricks onto rails are relatively new and pretty challenging, especially considering how risky they could be. Ben's kickflip backlip was pretty extraordinary, that and the frontside flip over the rail are going to be judged very well. Daniel Grant killed it too, he's unreal on a wakeskate, but I think Ben deserved the win.

Yeah I mean I understand flip tricks to rails are tougher, it just seemed like everyone else was doing it more smoothy. Like I said I'm just the newbie, but that's just what I was thinking while watching it. And I hate contests really anyway so it doesn't matter haha

The Wakeskate Tour is not your typical contest scene... There should be no hate there. When you can have competitions where there are new and progressive tricks throw/landed every stop, that once again is not your typical "land your easy tricks" boring contest.

FYI read a little bit around the forums and watch some videos before jumping to conclusions. ~themoreyouknow~

i understand where the thought is coming from. however Ben clearly took the cake with the judging format they used of best 2 of3 lines for your final score. he had two solid lines as did the other podium takers. it looked like other riders had amazing lines as well but they just must have not been 2 lines both done during finals. obviously andrew pastura's kflip front boards were clean as can be. i dont think he got that during finals tho, or at least not with a second solid line. Ben deserved the win. that said, thank you to everyone who participated in the video, whether filming, editing, or riding. it blew my mind!! Smash

Yeah I mean I'm just saying based off what I saw. I wasn't there, so you're right, with the judging format Ben Horan probably deserved the win. But still, that 3 over the rail by Daniel Grant blew my mind...

BB, I'm not saying I hate the Wakeskate Tour, I'm just saying I usually hate contests in other action sports (mostly snowboarding). I think, from what I've seen, the wakeskate tour is awesome, and very different. Everybody was just having a good time and riding with awesome people- not your usual contest. Someone in the video even compared it to woodstock, and I completely agree.
