Wakeboarding Darin Shapiro Teaches Mark Evans something

[7kids4phyllis]

Are you mormon? I'm mormon and about to go on a mission also

[psike6400]

@7kids4phyllis Yeah. This was the day before I went to the MTC.

[player836]

honestly i find spins the hardest things..i was doing back rolls and tantrums before i got my 360...the 180s are easy but it took me sooo long to get my 360 down

[fatkid1098]

@player836 same with me. i went to lake shasta last week and i finally started landing my 3's after a year haha, but i had my tantrums and backrolls last summer and i started to learn hoochies in mid summer

[runwithscissors17]

@player836 Yeah same here. Tantrum first, then scarecrow. And still have yet to land a 360. 180s are fine though, i dont know. 3s feel alot harder and hurt alot more.

[iceman9992]

whats with the carving at the beggining thats some florida stuff or somethin?

[killuinstyle]

that heel front flip was definitely a frantrum and not a front flip. hah

[7kids4phyllis]

@killuinstyle no, that was definitely a front flip. tantrum is your board flipping side over side. front flip is tail over nose rotation.

[Wsinkula]

most of those tricks were lame.

[backflip2butter]

woot goofy riderrr

[Ace37090]

so how much did ride the spot help you? i mean what could you do before you went? im thinking about going in a couple summers.

[jtejte]

In 3 days (8 hours on the water more or less), I learned a Raley, Whirlybird, Hs roll to revert, Ts roll to revert, ts 540, hs 540. You'll get as much out of it as you're willing to put in. I took advantage of my few days, worked hard, learned 6 new tricks.

[sidstille]

just curious.. did you find handle pass tricks much harder than just big air tricks like a raley?

[jtejte]

There's more muscles involved and more things to keep track of in a handle pass trick. Once you're doing more than a 360, I would say a handle pass is more difficult than a Raley or any of the other base inverts (Tantrum, HS/TS backroll, TS Frontroll, Frontflip)

[krazymeesen]

So, to ask the steriotypical question...what's the song? I really like it and have had it in my head the past couple days and would love to listen to it while I board.

[jtejte]

Song: Clear Color

Artist: Limp

[krazymeesen]

This is a pretty sweet vid. The whirleybird is awesome. That's definetly on my list for this summer. I gotta get that tantrum first, though.

[TommyStrat]

Nice Malibu bud. Darin comes from the Ferraro school of killer chops.

[topnotched]

dats mean

[topnotched]

how fast are they going?

[ryan16132]

What was the span of time these tricks were learned? He looks pretty good.

[jtejte]

3 days.

[rocketchump]

That's Sick. He makes all those tricks look so easy

[cookuofu17]
