The 2014 Old Guys 360 Attempt Thread

[rca]

I like the wakeboard attempt myself. Where you on 2 different boards? Looked like maybe a XXX and an Inland Surfer? Which felt better?

Yessir - started on the TripleX skim. Then switched to my old standby Inland Surfer Squirt - my true love. Seriously thinking about selling the TripleX and pursuing a true surf style board to replace it. Thin the herd some.

The TripleX is a great board and I'm sure I'd keep it if I were a better rider. Spins with ease. The IS feels a bit faster and more stable for my clumsy arse though. I've been able to surprisingly recover from pretty far back on the IS at times where I would fall out on the TripleX.


Always wanted to try the wakeboard - just too much rocker to find a sweet spot!

Obviously a doctored video. Who do you think you are fooling with that?

[moombadaze]

not sure that is even a 360, more like a sharp donut turn. Keep trying

Was that recorded on vhs?

Come on...that had at least the quality of a beta max.

Sad thing is, they're both way better than me! Great video!

Betamax was higher quality than VHS and a more efficient system. They just lost the battle. Kind of doesn't matter now though.

A bit grainy... Pretty sure I saw Sasquatch swim by in the background, pause and look back, then keep swimming.

You need to at least upgrade to a laser disc...
