Parks Bonifay’s “Double Or Nothing” competition, arguably the biggest double-up competition of the year, has brought out the best in wakeboarding’s elite once again. The DON comp showcases the most technical tricks and biggest airs in the wake industry. This year’s event proved no different with 20 of the top riders going for it all with 1080, backside 900 and double back roll to blind attempts.

When the waters calmed down and the boats were back on shore, it turned out that Shane Bonifay came out on top for the Best Trick award with his Toeside Backside 720 [video of Shane previously doing this trick after the break]. Shaun Murray did edge out Shane though with the Biggest Air award. Shaun’s Air Raley was up in the air for 53.5 video frames, which is roughly 2 seconds of air time.
