@@lunchbreakdrumming6785 He's the hype man, not just the announcer 😂.

It's actually been over 25 years, this was in the summer of 1999.

@ryanshimabukuro3283 Wow. I kind of thought it might have been earlier. The video shows 9 years so I made an assumption. That makes more sense in one respect, and in another leaves me wondering where the last quarter century got away to. I must be getting older

@davejoe2592 I posted the video 9 years ago, after I digitized it from one of my VHS tapes that I had from when I recorded the live footage when it happened in 1999.

@@LifetimeShred It's a mafia.... never go against the family. 😂

Like imagine being in competition with your peers and they go apesh*t over you accomplishing something

@@Legendary-zh9hd yes they are, and they should be considering it's been 25 years since Tony landed this one at the 1999 X-Games, the skaters nowadays have foam pits to train on with minimal risk of injury & some ramps are even bigger now.

@@LifetimeShred Thanks bro! Yeah,, it's nice to finally get some answers. Makes sense that I was favoring my right leg & putting too much weight on my front foot. No wonder I was stacking so much, felt like I was always landing with the parking break on. When are you going to come & ride Janet before the season is done???

@@ryanshimabukuro3283 i’d like to get out for sure. Availability isn’t the best this and next week but better last 2/3 of october. Also, I’m storing PM3 up near Willard again with Aspen Storage, so it’ll be up there too.

@@LifetimeShred I start traveling on Oct 27th so my boat will be out away before then.

@@peterpietrzak1253 just to show the blades are sharp enough to cut a fruit.

@@ryanshimabukuro3283 yup

Thanks Tim! Have you guys been getting the warm weather too up in Montana? Down here, lots of boats still getting out. Usually, we have the lake all to ourselves by now. Hopefully you can get another trip out before the season is completely done for you all up there!

@ryanshimabukuro3283 yes, great weather. If it weren't for having a 1 year old I probably would've been out each weekend up till now at least but my season was done after the last trip unfortunately. Exciting things on the way otherwise though.

@@wake_mann That's right, forgot that you had another one now. Again, congratulations on the new dealership & partnership with your bro. So excited for you!

@ryanshimabukuro3283 thank you! Very happy to have my dealer right here in my city.

@@peterpietrzak1253 yes it was. It was a demonstration event in 1988 in Calgary.

@@ryanshimabukuro3283 yup

Thanks bro! Started to feel better.

@@ryanshimabukuro3283 no better feeling!

@@propagandacritic5511 This was actually the live coverage, not the recorded footage where they could do slow-move replays.

thought he was smiling

@christopherdunkley2632 After I blew my right knee in 2004 (which was my 2nd catastrophic surgery from wakeboarding), I said I'd rather not learn any new tricks then miss another summer of riding. And I've tried to ride slower & shorter length but it just doesn't connect with the way I like to ride. I actually fall more & have gotten hurt much worse that way. Again, my riding setup is nothing new. I've been riding this way for over 15 years now & really have had no issues up to this point. And I have had slumps before, but not like this year. In the past, a slump was like 1-2 sets, not 4-5 months like I've dealt with this year. But I'm continuing to stay optimistic & positive about it, and know that I'll eventually figure it out. Finished off the holiday weekend yesterday with a decent set, one of my better ones this year, so I'll take that little win.

@ryanshimabukuro3283 I think you have had the wrong approach since 2004. If you learn correctly at slower speeds, learning a new trick should be far safer than the way you are currently riding. Doing tricks at 90' at over 25 mph, is actually far more gforce, than learning something at a shorter rope length at say 20mph.. Sometimes you have to take multiple steps back to take a giant leap forward.. You need to step back to see the forest through the trees. I know you don't agree, because I've recommended this to you before, but this te you asked for opinions, so I thought I would try again.

@@christopherdunkley2632I appreciate your input & advice. Let's just agree to disagree on this one, at least for me. Because I wouldn't disagree with that approach for most riders out there. And I also agree with you that I did learn the "wrong" way because back in the mid-90's, it was a race to the "flip". At least with the guys I rode with. Wakeboarding has always been a secondary thing for me, even though I love it. In the past 15 years though, my time on the water is very limited because of work & how crowded our lakes have gotten. It's a 5-6hr commitment just to get the boat to the lake & get 1 set in, and hopefully the water is good for that 1 set. I'm just not motivated to use up what little water time I get with trying drastic changes to my riding style. If I could get on the water at least 4 times a week with great conditions, & I didn't have to worry about "wasting" good water, then I'd probably be more open to it.

@@wake_mann Haha, that's just not an option. This is wakeboarding not trick skiing! 😂😂 But in all seriousness, I'm definitely starting to feel the "age" component have its affect on my body. That's why I committed to changing my lifestyle back in June to lose weight & lead a healthier life style. Have lost 15lbs since but still got a long ways to go. I need to catch up on your last 4 videos too, I apologize for slacking on that!

@ryanshimabukuro3283 no worries bro, probably on the right track, lots of stretching helps me. I started doing 25 push-ups per day about a month ago and I've been happy with the results.

@@wake_mann absolutely!

@@LifetimeShred Appreciate the feedback, Rich! And yes, I remember that setup behind your boat back in 2015-16, but I got hurt on that well. Remember I separated a rib over rotating a HS3. Couldn't ride for weeks & when I did get back to riding, couldn't do most things for a while because my rib was still tender. Maybe there's just no good setup for me?? Haha!

@LifetimeShred It was a Nose Half Cab front. The 2nd one he's landed, was sick!

@@realpattonford Thanks for watching!

I mean it's 25 years since this video.

@GenauSo007 Thank you!

@@LifetimeShred Hell No! And soon those will be banned from my boat! 😂😂

@@ryanshimabukuro3283 hahahaha

Someone had to do it first

@@nathanielmoore5677 Right on!
