Lewis Crathern (Slingshot, GBR) landed a railey to blind, blind judge, low mobe and FS3 defeating North rider Thomas Paris (FRA) who also landed tricks such as 313, blind judge 3, kgb-180 and front mobe but was disqualified due to a line entanglement. Crathern advanced to the second round of heats where Naish team rider Alex Pastor (ESP) eliminated him. Pastor moved on to a heat against Mike Blomvall (Nobile, SWE) defeating him due to more variety of tricks as well as powered switch tricks, which would then send him to a tough heat against Slingshot rider Andy Yates (AUS).
Yates proved that he wasn’t going down without a fight defeating Alberto Rondina (Cabrinha, ITA) as well as Cabarete Champion Ariel Corniel (Ozone, DOM) and North rider Reno Romeu (BRA) in separate heats today. Yates executed his tricks with more power and technical style. Amongst some of his tricks were a front mobe to blind, and kgb to blind. Yates would later lose his winning streak against Slingshot rider Youri Zoon (NED) in heat # 33landing him fourth place in today’s competition.
It was a big day for Slingshot Rider Youri Zoon (NED) who defeated five time world champion Aaron Hadlow (Flexifoil, GBR) in a 4-1 decision. Zoon made an overall impression on the judges as he executed each trick with great style, power and most importantly kite positioning. Zoon forged his way into the finals against fellow Dutchman and yesterdays first place single freestyle winner Kevin Langeree (Naish, NED). It would be a final 5-0 decision in favor of Langeree due to better execution of tricks and variety. Some of the most outstanding tricks executed by Langeree was a one-handed kgb grab, front mobe to blind, and a one handed 313 with a grab
WTF.......
"low mobe" -
yes what else is there?
"blind judge 3" -
saying "blind judge 3" would make no sense, that would be a BS315, I know what they are talking about here is a BS313 though, which is the correct name.
"kgb-180" -
I got no idea about this one, what are they even talking about?, A KGB has a minimum of a 360 degree rotation.
"front mobe" -
Not nesisarly a wrong name but instead using it for the wrong trick, what they are talking about is a front blind mobe, aka blind freddo (invented by the late australian wakeboarder mark kenney!)
"front mobe to blind" -
Front blind mobe 5, or blind freddo 5.
"kgb to blind" -
KGB 5
"Some of the most outstanding tricks executed by Langeree was a one-handed kgb grab, front mobe to blind, and a one handed 313 with a grab" -
How else are you going to grab?.. with 2 hands? hahaha, you have to be holding onto the bar with at least one hand, which only leaves.... you guessed it, one hand.... WTF.
This sport and the world tours are an absolute joke, not even being able to get the names of tricks right that have been done for a long time already (some over a decade) just further proves it.
p.s. onya Andy!
