Yep, pancakepete on his Watercraft Factory hull that was built to handle 'his' riding and it did.

Yup Pancake Pete. I haven't been on here in a while, but we did have good times back then. Remember the double barrel roll competition between Pancake and Ross?? Talk about sick air on those attempts. I also saw Paul Lehr (LPW) in those vids. It definitely has changed since then.

I think this was 08? Surf riding was just taking off on the East Coast...due to the Jersey/Daytona freerides. It was all new. Only a handful of aftermarket hulls were developing. I think the largest motor was an 800Lamey. I don't think anyone had pulled a flat water backy yet. (ski's weren't capable).

Lenzi and some o the Jap riders were doing single back flips by then I think

Malone was doing them in 2004 at Havasu. I'm not sure when the first were done.

It was 07. First freeride that I ever witnessed. It was one hell of a weekend! :Banane36:
