It’s back to the wakeskaters for this week’s Photo Battle. On one side you’ve got a black and white re-entry shot from behind the boat, while on the other side you’ve got a river spillway gap with the winch. Two totally different worlds, same rad sport. Vote for your favorite and spread some holiday shredding cheer.

The rider is Ben Peirce out of Lake Norman, a young ripper with some serious chops. If you can’t support the photo, support Ben stomping this re-entry varial flip. Thanks all, Thanks Alliance!

That no comply is one of the dirtiest tricks ever thrown on a skate…took a lot of imagination.
December 23rd, 2009 at 1:55 pm
it doesn’t take a lot of imagination to copy an existing skate move buddy, I think you are trying to say it took a lot of nuts to do… not imagination. Being imaginative involves original thinking.

who woulda thought a no comply/footplant on a wakeskate…definitley out of the box casey jones
December 24th, 2009 at 10:52 am
I wasn’t trying to be rude, I just think that any skate trick turned wakeskate trick is expected… inventing new tricks specific to wakeskating is where it’s at. The no comply is badass, just not original… nor would a 3flip or even an ollie impossible (again, badass but not original)…It is about progression my friend not regression.
December 24th, 2009 at 1:52 pm
Well I sure as hell don’t want you progressing our sport….ha
December 24th, 2009 at 2:57 pm
fair enough I tried to be civil, have fun re-inventing the ollie…. tool.
December 27th, 2009 at 7:42 am
Hey casey jones go kill yo self. You dont know where shits at. How in the world is a UGLY 3 shuv original or wakeskate specific my friend? Every trick ever done in wakeskating is gonna come from skateboarding!….tool.
December 27th, 2009 at 8:14 am
is this even a competition??? re-entry 3 shuv vs. footplant? winch > wake all day
December 28th, 2009 at 8:56 am
This is a photo contest, not a trick contest. Black and white shot is a better photograph, hands down.
