It's too bad his run is overshadowed by Malone's.....because it was pretty killer in it's own right.

Pretty solid run. I bet his score would have been substantially higher if he didn't fall those couple of times. Very good though.

so, aside from malone and wantanabe who else was throwing flatwater backys?

 

[Frosty]

Solid routine! :biggthumpup:

 

[IceRocket1286]

thats was a good run. was it before or after malone?

 

[Stu Carr]

Ant Burgess has been so close to a complete flat water flip for a long time.
He did land 4 flips on the boat he borrowed for the pro comp. unfortunatley he hit bottom in his routine and knocked the exhaust off. Not bad for 1 days practice on a strange boat

 

[Stu Carr]

Lee stone is the best in the UK and going by his results, the best in the world, he has 1000's pumped into his ski. Ant has been biting at his heels for a while now with nowhere near as much money invested.

Stone IMO only has the backflip over Ant, now that Ant has landed a flat water flip he will be looking for some big titles.

Only problem being $$$$ if you want a UIM title you have to travel all over the world, same with a European title.

I'll have Ants run up tonight. His run on Sunday was MILLLLES ahead of his run on Sat.

not taking anything away from the kid but his parents have thousands invested in that boat.

 

[Stu Carr]

full throttle was the boat he was on. It had a TNT pipe in it. MMMMmmm

 

[waxhead]

i think he looked cleaner in his backflips than eric

its a shame he didnt do 4 in a row

How good are all these guys

 

[the only couch rider]

which one??

stone

 

[Freestyleriverrat]

Solid run but as you can tell from the crowds reaction Malone was the favorite. He was smoother than Malone but Malones run was more aggressive looking

Only realation to Magoo's old shop is the building...................... He has no association with Jr. Magoo's Performance.............

 

[Stu Carr]

stone

Sorry thats what I meant, we all have 1000's invested in our skis. Stones parents have 10's of 1000's . its all getting a bit crazy

 

[Freestyleriverrat]

I don't see stone beating Malone yet. He can't currently match Malone's amplitude
