Decent conditions and perfect rails set the stage for many landmark moves thrown down including:

Kickflip / switch kickflip / huge backside 360 off TSR kicker – Nick Taylor
Backside big flip / 360 flip / Heelflip – Reed Hansen
Switch boardslide bigger spin / Rockstar Box – Brandon Thomas
Shove to front lip wallride – Bret Little
Kickflip (1st trick off dock) / big spin transfer / Oakley wallride – Andrew Pastura
Huge backside 360 / TSR kicker – Nick Taylor
360 flip / Stu Shinn (after the end of his run)

In the end, the final head-to-head battle consisted of Andrew Pastura and Nick Taylor, who both had an incredible runs in the semifinals with no falls, pushing competitive wakeskating ahead at a rapid pace. After the traditional coin toss with Scott Byerly and daughter Kirra, Taylor won and opted to ride second.

Pastura started out with authority, stomping a kickflip for his first trick, followed by a huge big spin transfer on the Oakley wallride, however he was not able to maintain the consistency of his semis run, falling three times and leaving the door slightly open. Taylor, who won the Rockstar Rail Jam in April, put together another complete run on his new Integrity pro model wakeskate, including a frontside flip, styie front lip wallride, huge shifty off the kicker, kickflip and a front lip big spin off the Rockstar box, sealing the victory.

Nick Taylor: lawbreaking layback...

This run capped off a stellar weekend of riding for Taylor, proving he is currently the heaviest hitter on the ’08 Tour. “Having all the different obstacles at TSR is something that you won’t find anywhere else,” Taylor said. Every round, the riding got exponentially more intense. Andy Pastura blew minds this weekend, behind both the boat and cable.” Taylor also reflected on his current success on the tour, “To be able to win one title is insane, but it’s an honor to be able to win in two different disciplines. I have to thank Scott and Kim Byerly for everything they’ve done for me and the art of wakeskating. I’d also like to thank Integrity, O’Neill, Nike 6.0 and Oakley, plus my family and everyone at the island.”
