I remember Marc doing some great freestyle on a 750sx too in the 90's. Yeah, the sub to backwards was just sick..

All this was possible on a stock hull:
I love Flatwater freestyle! How it begun.

So let me get this straight. We don't need a 60 lb hull that is 250 rtr to do some damn good freestyle. Mhmm *head scratch* well I guess back to the drawing bored.

Awesome video. I've always considered Mark one of the best . My question is why the Lightweight hull? Just something new to play with? Do you have any videos of you on the Lightweight doing traditional f/s? Have you tried f/s on any of the new style a/m hulls? I've often wondered if the older tricks are not performed because riders think no one wants to see them or they can't be done on the new hulls. (exception Parr) 1200cc's and 250lb hull would be an amazing monkey jump, for example.

Monkey jumps, ball busters, power 360's, hood tricks , subs and BR's are the shizzle. It is so refreshing to see a vid that doesn't just have continuous BF after BF after BF etc...
I remember mark's routines in the past and wanted to model my style with his.
Smoooth as butter!
BTW,IMO I actually think he look's much better on the stock SJ then on his ligthweight.de in the vids

X2. HIs rolls look bigger.
The first idea for the Leight Weight was to have a ski which don´t need to be reenforced and never needs to be repaired anymore.
The problem is that every change which makes the ski better for flips is terrible for everything else!
I really enjoy riding the new LW because of doing Flips and Flaires and also in the surf, but I am always happy to ride my old ski from 2004 to do all this old school tricks ( my friend Frank owns the ski now )

I like the sub onto the hood one......
To do oldschool tricks on the new hulls is difficult.
Also there is the big problem how the new 1200cc engines react after 3 seconds under the water and a 50/50 mix gas from the tank and water coming into the carb.
6 years ago all the REAL surf riders asked me what I need this special hull and big engine for!?!?!? IT`S NOT ABOUT THE SKI IN THE SURF!!!!!!!
Now we are all 6 years older and some of them are using the ( RICK: Freestyle only! ) XFS with 1000cc DASA engines!
Can they do new amazing things on this skis?

Last year during the European Championship all the amateur riders rode a lot and had fun
all the Pro riders have been really affright to use there skis for training, because they could break.
Also they had only 5 gallons off this 50 Dollar/Gallon high oktain fuel with them!!!!!

I think a lot of us just don't want to see true flat water freestyle to die. Everyone is about the backie. I hate the flat water backie. Lol. That video brings me back. Do you have a clip of a nice big one handed surf carve? Those where cool and the Kawi does it well.

Yeah I will try and find a pic. I think that is what you call it when you put your left hand on the throttle side and lay the ski over in a big wide carve and drag your right hand in the water. It makes for a killer slow mo video or a sick pic.

Well I don't hate it so much as mostly the fact that a lot of people only seem to care about that trick like it proves your ride skill level. It does have skill level but mostly shows how well the skis have evolved into what they are nowadays. That video posted to me shows a guy that just straight up loves to ride skis and has learned everything you can do on one. It's a great video.
