Don't get me started...

Renaming a trick that is many years old is retarded.
1. It's not the same trick as what they are doing in wakeboarding as the first rotation is laid out. There are no two rolls happening.
2. A "cab" is not possible on a wakeboard so calling the trick a double half cab in the first place was dumb
3. That makes it a new trick and it has been named properly by the first person to land it in competition

Do it hooked and you get to name it, nobody has done it (on video) hooked before.

........ This forum is sometimes mind blowing. A hooked in back roll is a back roll. An unhooked back roll is a back roll. One is just shittier than the other. You don't get to name things because your chicken loop is in.

I guess you're right, it would indeed be a shittier version of the 'Tack-flip'. I wouldn't want to call it a Tack-flip if it's hooked in but something else.

Oh f***, first off my post was sarcastic, and I doubt Frank was being serious... some peoples kids.
Don't take it so seriously...sheesh
Either way what is mind blowing is that you think you know so much and everyone else is so dumb your first instinct is to bash the people having fun.

Settle down! Haha now you're getting all upset. Was only referring to Frank's post and he agreed with me. In any event, I do not know everything at all. What I do know is there is a respect owed to the board sports that influenced kiteboarding and kiters shitting on it is pretty dumb.
