Well to discus the Indy roll, as not being a roll - but more of a off axis 360. Then Lee stone didnt do a double roll. but a off axis 720.
Hes rotation was just a vertical as Gomez indy roll
I think its fair to call both rolls.

Look at what these chumps could do with a round nose superjet back in 97. You don't see people willing to finish competitions without a hood anymore...

Well, Rolls that we call Rolls are not the same as what Rolls are called on modern hull. These hulls do not ride on the same plain as a SJ does. They ride nose up, So when you attempt a roll it ends up being more of a tail whip or 360. The roll is not spiraling down its axis like an old school superjet will. Its axis is more or less on an imaginary line from say the rear spark plug down to the front bottom edge of the gas tank if that makes sense. I have found with my freak that I cannot roll the same as I could on my SJ. Cannot attack the setup wake the same. So, These new "Rolls" while are not true rolls they are now considered rolls and called rolls. The difference is your body is not rolling to the left or right and going 360 degrees around anymore......... Both were awesome tricks. Personally, Lee's is a more violent trick and Gomer's just flat took more muscle strength and timing to pull off. Shear fact he landed and was able to get feet back in place for a back flip. Hats off to both of them.
That you know of?? Lee’s stuff , as well as the Bun boats are definately right there!

Half of you guys got upwards of 30 grand into your play boats. You honestly think these dudes ain't going upwards 0f 50? I have over 35 into my promod sled, and yeah, it wins, but I don't know what it would do "world finals" wise.
Stones little canoe? That motor is near 25k alone, right?

Gomez didn't do a roll. the bottom of his ski was never facing up opposite the water. stone was definatly a double roll. flatwater rolls are never parallel to the water since the nose is pointing up on takeoff. it takes speed to do a parallel to the water roll. gomes was a 360 flat spin superman. who cares. the knucklehed announcers rarely called it right either
You need to get out of Bama once and a while and see what is new under these hoods!

Everyone at every level is paying. There's no rider out there getting "sponsored" and getting a free ride like you're under the impression . Unless you're the kid gabe killing it on the rickter without graphics(thx dad/i <3 mom) or gilligan lol, youre heavily invested in trying to win a contest with a $400 first place prize...

Even so. I'd be willing to bet that the top pro freestyle boats are banging 40k, some even invite her sisters.
I know we all hate to do it, but pull out those receipts for the last build. Might want to have an airsickness bag handy...
Actually, yes you do
That's pretty cool, didn't know that. Anybody have a link? I couldn't find it on youtube.

He asked everyone that morning to keep it off social media.

So what makes them so much better/more expensive than other carbon flatwater skis?
