They changed the format a lot this year and it seems really cool. I know the past two years only a couple of pros entered. I'm surprised because how much money they have on the line.

Best Rail Trick behind a Ski or Boat - $2,000
Best Cable Trick - $1,500
Best 3 Trick Line - $2,000
Double Up - $5,000
Video of the Year - $7,500 |

walaka, just means the wakeskaters have to use the board to their advantage. shuvs, kickflips, finger flips, board varials, bigspins, late shuvs... all the stuff that wakeboarders cant do.
Think of Hampsons HUGE front big out the flats in his Graceland edit, that going off the double up should give the "spin to win" 1080/1260/dizzy dancer a run for Tiges money.
Besides, how many wakeskaters do you see riding boat and of that number how many are hitting double ups? _________________ Scuba Steve's Wakeskate Film Libray |

i love seeing wakeskters hitting double ups. I just think wakeboarders are going to be biased and vote for 1080's. |

I entered a couple of years ago. It was dumb at that time. Am riders won for their month and that was it. Nice to see they are changing it up a bit. _________________ http://www.wakeskateclips.com/ |
