The boys at AllianceWake have a video of Aaron Rathy doing a heelside 1080. The interesting part is that the video creator slowed down the clip AFTER the 1080. Usually you want to slow down the actual trick, not the reaction. Maybe it was because they wanted to hear that Chewbacca sounding voice. Who knows.

I am always hesitant when reading wakeboard DVD reviews because I always seem to come away unimpressed. It seems many reviewers are way too favorably biased. Very rarely do I see a review that says — “This video sucks.” So I’ve ignored many reviews in the past and admittedly narrowed my wake viewings to a very limited list of directors.
So when I read the Wakeboarder.com review for “Impact”, and saw that it was given a 9, I was immediately biased against it. I’ve never heard of the film creator, nor did I have a huge interest in watching a “cable” video. So, trying to be a responsible blogger, I figured I’d at least give the trailer a looksy. Immediately my preconceived notions had vanished. I was mesmerized by the beautiful visuals, highspeed film, and epic styling of the trailer. The trailer did exactly what it was supposed to do…make me interested in seeing this DVD.
Here is the Wakeboarder.com review

Randy Harris just posted another one of his “Randall Replies” segments on WakeWorld. He answers two different questions. I was somewhat surprised that neither question referred to his recent move to Company Wake, which is one of the biggest stories so far this season. Anyways, the second question more than makes up for it by having Randy compare today’s and yesterday’s riders, scene, and overall feel. Interesting read.
