X Games REAL WAKE driven by MasterCraft: Full Videos and Voting
It’s finally here. Wakeboarding has returned to X Games with REAL WAKE driven by MasterCraft and the results are nothing short of jaw-dropping. Eight of the best riders and filmmakers were invited to compete for X Games gold by producing a 90-second video section. All eight teams put it all on the line and now you get to take it all in. What came out of the contest is arguably the best and most progressive piece of media in the history of wake. While you can’t determine the Gold, Silver, and Bronze for the contest itself, you can determine the Fan Favorite. We encourage you to watch all the sections and vote for the one that you like the best. The one that gets your juices flowing. And your jaw dropping. It’s not going to be easy, trust us, so hopefully your Wednesday isn’t jam packed with things to do; you’re gonna be watching these over and over. And over. Enjoy!
Vote for your favorite video only at XGam.es/RealWake
Videos from Harley Clifford, Rusty Malinoski, Shota Tezuka, Daniel Grant, Mike Dowdy, Aaron Rathy, Chris Abadie, and Raph Derome.
The REAL WAKE driven by MasterCraft competition will culminate in a one-hour World of X Games show produced by Alliance MultiMedia slated to air on ABC on Sunday, July 26 at 4 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT. The show will feature the top six video segments, behind-the-scenes footage and athlete interviews. The athletes and filmers themselves will then select the top three videos to be awarded gold, silver and bronze X Games medals along with cash prizes.

I think Kayne West wrote "All Day Niggah" about Dowdy's video
July 15, 2015
Woowwwwww. This just proves that boat riding is dead, those sections were worthless compared to someone like Chris who is literllay in the fucking streets! It just sucks that those spots were wasted on boat riders when there are so many up and coming rippers that would have destroyed their video parts and worked so hard to do it. Not by using fucking smoke bomb gimmicks and film burns.
July 15, 2015
OH MY FUCKING GOD THAT WAS SHIT
YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE WAKEBOARDING AND YOU FUCKED IT WAKEBOARDING IS FOR SURE NOT GUNNA BE THERE NEXT YEAR SO MANY WASTED SPOTS ON KOOKS THAT WANT TO PUT SMOKE IN THEIR VIDEO AND MAKES IT NEXT LEVEL
July 15, 2015
^^^^^^^^ It's people like you that we don't need in wakeboarding. All these parts were sick and when you watch someone put blood, sweat, and tears into a part it makes it that much better. Come back when you can do wake to wake toe 12s
July 15, 2015
boat ridings dead? Mike dowdy just killed it!!!!! I don't see how that makes boat riding dead. stop being so one sided that's what kills the sport respect it for what it is. That's where it all started. Raph's part was amazing Grants part was super rad. its nice to see every aspect of the sport.
July 15, 2015
There was some straight fire then there were some guys that looked like they were on fire lol. Good thing there are only six videos being shown on national tv and the rest of the action sports community doesn't have to see all three smoke bomb videos, and still think wakeboarding is full of kooks lol
July 15, 2015
Imagine if someone submitted their contest half pipe run for Real Snow? Boat riders get the fuck off of clear lake and into the streets!

Hey "Guenthercaneatadick" there's no way you can say boat riding isn't legit. You're probably the cunt at OWC that goes and does a 360 on the kicker and then the other 540 in the air and claims it as a 9. Keep riding cable and try not to choke on your boyfriends dick #dowdyforpres
July 15, 2015
WOw the boat riding is amazing, i cant even count the number of hand drags in harleys video. I really like the smoke bomb effect tho, super artsy. I think rusty did a double indy grab bs 1, so neck. He does have a sick haircut tho, so wake.

I personally dont like boat riding because im not a little spoiled rich kid that surfs behind his floating lambo and thinks his wake to wake tricks are "legit". ALL HAIL THE SCUDS
July 15, 2015
Dowdy!!!! Wake 2 Wake toeside 12! HOLY HELL!
July 15, 2015
Wow, what an amazing contest. We all get to sit back at the leisure of our rectangles and have this insane riding delivered to us…mind blowing.
1. Mike Dowdy – Untouchable riding, overall good feel for the edit and flow.
2. Chris Abadie – The guts it takes to throw yourself down the stuff that he did demands respect.
3. Daniel Grant- The kid is mind blowing and throws down on a wakeskate as well, very impressive.
4. Raph Derome- Very creative and talented riding, could have been first but the edit had an odd feel that didn't get me pumped.
5. Aaron Rathy- threw his body like a mad man and went balls to the wall. The tech just didn't quite do it for me.
The smoke bombs didn't make the list.
July 15, 2015
riding level was insane in these videos.
unfortunately its the videos themselves for the top few guys are the real tragedy here. gnarly, almost unwatchable editing, bullshit special effects and gimmicks really didn't do them any favors.
July 15, 2015
FUCK BOAT
BOAT IS DEAD
IF YOU RIDE BOAT YOU LIKE OLD MAN PENIS
IF YOU RIDE OWC YOU LIKE OLD MAN PENIS
IF YOU LIVE IN ORLANDO YOU LIKE OLD MAN PENIS

*comment to piss off faggot ass boat riders*
July 15, 2015
If some said, " Because how insane of a rider you are, we are going to give you a brand new 150K boat."
Would you take it and ride? Or would you pass and just take some more laps on that same old cable park?
#dowdyforpres
July 15, 2015
Props to all contestants. My input, and personal opinion (all I can really give), is that smoke tricks and special effects aren't going to deliver a hammer video part. Strictly boat riders, much respect, but its the same wake every time. Other riders are going out of their element and doing new things, with new consequences. I have to give much credit where due. I also don't fully understand why Daniel Grand incorporated wakeskating. Yes he is extremely well rounded, even throwing down on a wakeskate, but I felt it changed up the parameters a bit. I felt like creativity, hammer tricks, huge consequence features, and overall best video's go to Chris and Raph. Totally unique without all the smoke and weird horse heads. There's no way you didn't get chills watching those parts, and that's my two cents. Take it for what it is.
July 15, 2015
why is no one giving daniel grant the respect he deserves?? ohhhh because he isn't promoting a $150k boat? Dude rips on a wakeboard and wakeskate. He is the Bo Jackson of wake sports. No one if the game has ever done this. #respect
July 15, 2015
Man, so hard to choose. Dowdy crushed everyone riding just boat. Raph and Rathy had decent boat parts but added the park and winch elements. Abadie's part had so many gnarly spots. Toss up between those 4 for me.
July 15, 2015
Chris, Dowdy, Rathy, Daniel and Raph are my top 5 (not in any particular order)
July 15, 2015
Hey "Kid", Rathy did it for years. Crushed it on a skate and a board. Still can crush a skate whenever he decides to pick one up.
July 15, 2015
Dowdy has the top spot for me! Insane technical riding from Chris! This contest format has really helped push the sport even further, congrats to all the guys who had video parts in the first year of Real Wake! Absolutely amazing riding and awesome editing, you guys are the current and future faces of the sport and I am stoked on what lies ahead on the water!
July 15, 2015
Bunch of bangers here and there but I feel if given only a short amount of time like they had I would have only bangers no filler. Raph, Rathy, Chris, top 3 for sure. Overall need to take a little hint from the guys in real snow. The Real winners are the ones with the heaviest hitters back to back to back! decent restart for wake boarding given what it used to be.
July 15, 2015
All the edits are sick, I love how Harley and rusty put the effort into separating there edits from the rest! All the riding is insane. But this is a contest not for only the wakeboarders but the videographers as well. And they not only killed it with there riding but you can tell the team put a lot of effort into the production. Good work!
July 15, 2015
I agree with JB and what seems like the consensus: Chris, Dowdy, Rathy, Daniel and Raph were all rad. Others left something to be desired. I personally voted for Abadie today. His part had me stoked even though I've never winched. Maybe I'll spread my vote out over the next few days. Congrats to the hard work these guys put in.
July 15, 2015
raph or dowdy

SICK edits. I'm with most of the level headed comments above.. some of the boat riding wasn't anything spectacular compared to what I've seen in the past — I'm not saying I can do toe 12s, but judging for the best of the best edits. Dowdy definitely killed the boat game. The gimmicks and fillers in the others didn't really do it for me. Raph's blew me away – his style, tech, and the film work/editing as usual. Chris' and Daniel's were both equally amazing. Always been a huge fan of Daniel's style and Abadie's risks are insane. It's between those three for me by far.
July 15, 2015
All great riding. When it comes to urban/streets, the level of difficulty goes beyond; in any board sport. My opinion, urban riding is the top dog.. just my opinion tho, but if you don't believe me go out and try it and still be proper. Made props to all though, for busting ass for each part. My top 4 would have to be Raph, Chris, Daniel, Rathy…. they showed the most variety …no hating, just appreciating
July 15, 2015
all the edits were awesome! so stoked to see how crazy wakeboarding is not, dowdy sticking wake to wake 12,
harley sticking 4 different types of double flips and 4 different 1080s
rathy double flipping up gaps!
plus chris and raphs rail hits are unreal!
so cool to see
thanks to mastercraft boat company for pushing wakeboarding!
July 15, 2015
Dowdy gets my vote because of the Golden Retriever.
July 15, 2015
^^^^^^^^ go shoot some more super slo-mo. Mastercraft is nothing but a bank account here. Thanks to the riders here for the progression not the boat
July 15, 2015
it was cool and shit but wheres the mulitiple helicopters ronix boards slowmo and dubstep?
July 15, 2015
Some of you people are writing some crazy comments… all of these videos are so progressive in there own ways. Im a wake park rider and i am so impressed with all of the boat riding!
Good work to everyone that is part of the realwake production!
Sick that wakeboarding is back in the xgames!
July 15, 2015
We got "winch rat" over here thinkin he's hard af boosting indy tantrums off his home made kicker with his mom taking pictures. #SmokeEmIfYouGotEmBoys
July 15, 2015
I just want to know who wins gold for best comment?
July 15, 2015
They already took boat riding out of the Xgames once.
July 15, 2015
Rathy's uphill double got mentioned but nobody mentioned Raphs double off of that steep pvc rooftop at henshaws place.
Im pretty sure I get more air behind my old direct drive than rusty was getting during that night shoot and I still love riding boat, no lambo needed.
July 15, 2015
The smoke bombs and floating lambos aren't what is making this sport look bad. It's the comments here visible to anyone that will be basing their first opinion of wakeboarding on the content of this page.
July 15, 2015
Guys cut the mastercraft riders some slack word on the street is that it was in their contracts that they had to use these smoke bombs and special effects lol

HolyF'nSkeet'onthesheets Rathy go far though
July 15, 2015
Can we all just accept that there are three popular branches of wakeboarding and they are all pretty awesome.
1. Dowdy – Toe 12 Heel 10 no double ups YEEESH
2. Grant – not human, balls to the wall
3. Rathy – great editing and great winch spots
4. Raph – expected more on the boat side
5. Chris – creative, dangerous, like it
6. Harley – expected more, still some bangers though
7. Rusty – pretty much what i expected, but only love brotha
8. Shota – wish he showed more of his style heavy boat hits
But shit, they were all insane.
July 15, 2015
Wow. everyone was amazing in all of the vidieos. I would go with cris, raph then harley.
July 15, 2015
1.Dowdy
2.Rathy
3.Raph
July 15, 2015
Don't know who will judge this .. 4 boat riders– 2 cable riders– 2 all around riders I it will be the hardest to judge from what I saw 1-Raph (most technical and super edit). 2-Rathy (all around riding) 3- Chris and Dowdy even .
July 15, 2015
Shoota com onnnn its XGAME not a circus parade!!!!!!!!!
July 15, 2015
Shota's edit was neat, shows that you can have fun and make a killer edit too.

All these cable rats saying boat riding is dead. How about you stop zeaching (you'll probably have to google that Guenther) on every "slider" you hit and wait until you're off the kicker to start spinning. Wakeboarding is a wack ass rich white boy sport and we all know it, some of these edits really helped prove that. Shotas edit had hardly any riding and was almost as wack as Harley and Rustys. Speaking of which, how much kookier can you get than putting smoke bombs on your board and filming with a light up drone? Dowdy kept it real with a simple wake edit which shits on most cable riding, and landed a new trick. Raph, Chris, and Rathy all had sick parts and really pushed the "street" aspect of riding, if there can really be one in wakeboarding. Grant with the sickest Stale to method, and doing some sick shit on the winch. All in all, voted for Dowdy to spite all you cable riding kooks.
July 15, 2015
Epic edits all around, but Dowdy absolutely killed it. Would like to have seen raph and shota shown some more boat riding but that's aighhht I guess.
July 15, 2015
Ya know…this IS wakeboarding after all. There will probably be some boats. We should just accept that with a calm heart. And yes, some are expensive, but some also are only moderately expensive. It's a big world out there. There are several different things in it. We should be cool with those things. I like boat riding. I also like cable riding. Winches are cool too. These are all things. See, it's easy. One love.
July 15, 2015
Raph for sure, Chris,Rathy,Dowdy and Daniel the others did not understand what is the concept of REAL Wake…………
July 15, 2015
1st – Dowdy (don't get to ride boat alot like I used to but he straight slayed it!! He just put Harley's ass on notice.)
2nd – Chris Abadie (as mentioned above; balls that damn big deserve serious respect)
3rd – Grant (kid is a freak with style and bangers; wakeskates to boot. What else is there to say??)
Raph, Rathy – honorable mention (both great videos showing the range of terrains you can take a wakeboard but did not give me the same "get out and wanna ride" feel)
July 15, 2015
Are you out of you're mind Dowdy same shit all the time took 1 day to film at the same Lake then Grant wakeskate??? it was wakeboard we are talking about, youhouuu???
July 15, 2015
This video contest is by far the most progressive thing this sport has seen in a while. Te best riders in the world showed all aspects of wakeboarding perfectly. Dowdy and Harley absolutely killed it and showcased all of the most difficult tricks ever done behind boat with style. Yeah rusty and Harley had some gimmicks but I'm sure that's mastercrafts doing. Daniel destroyed the cable for both wake and skate. Chris showed the winch side of things the best way possible. Rathy and raph showed how you can kill it in every area. Hard to judge but I take dowdy.
July 15, 2015
What you just sais is so wrong we are back in, to show our sport at the Xgames and you are telling me that you have to own a 150k boat to win the Xgames!!!! no no no no,,,, you want to show thew world that our sport can be done every were with every kind of pulling so Raph and Rathy represent our sport to the entire world yessss…
July 15, 2015
How I saw it…
1) Dowdy ++HANDS DOWN++ – TS 1260, TS Double Indy Backroll, HS Double Indy Backroll, Double Indy Half Cab Roll, HS BS 1080, OA Double Grab 9, Moby Dick 7, Crow Mobe 7, Tantrum late BS 540, Legit Grabbed KGB 5, and a bunch more 10's
2) Daniel Grant – Killer Wakeskating, Huge wakeboard transfers, Rewinds,
3) Harley/Shotta/Rathy/Abadie … toooo close to call
July 15, 2015
Yeah boat riding is so wack. I'd totally rather see some dude go on an urban safari around Orlando putting together the deepest catalog of various materials that you can slide a wakeboard across. I can't wait to go to the cable tomorrow and ride in some gnarly circles and hit the same features over and over again because thats where all the real innovation happens!
Maybe I'll even take a trip to CWC and make an edit of me riding without a helmet. Yeah that'd be dope, no one has ever seen that before.
July 15, 2015
Look at all the gay commens…. wtf people spare everyone your fucked opinion
July 15, 2015
Hey you guuuys. Do you not realize how things happen, at the very beginning there's an ad for Mastercraft. A boat company, ("oh noooo a boat company, oh shit no fuck the corporations! I can't afford their boat!"-says every cable rider. yet they ride around a million dollar facility spending more on a day pass than it costs to ride your friends boat. You don't need to own a boat.) the same boat company that is paying for this contest to happen in the first place. I'd be willing to bet half of these boat riders families never even owned their own wakeboard boat until they got one for free. The same boat company allowing these winch and cable riders to showcase their talent. And the world to see their interpretation. Also probably the same company paying the winner whoever knows how much to win this. Probably around 20k…guessing. Next time lets have a winch company put this contest on and the winner can get a free Applebee's $25 gift card for winning. Since in all reality probably 10 winches are sold in the U.S. In a year. And are made in someone's garage. Get your ignorant heads out of your asses and just be happy we're even invited to be a part of it. Cause to be honest if a boat company and boat riders weren't involved in this it would've never happened. You can't fund a huge contest like this with delusions of being core. There's a reason boat riders actually make a living and some of the best rail/cable riders in the world can't even get a promo box from a clothing company. Quit being too core for your own good, you're playing on water. You'll never be as core as skate or snowboarders so quit pretending you are one. You're killing what you care about.
July 15, 2015
Daniel and Dowdy killed it the most, raph was good to. fuk rusty and his saggy ass shit and gay ass harley cliffag. Shota should have taken this more seriously. Rathy your face shot was almost as gay as your handle pass toe 7 or rustys light up drone.
July 15, 2015
Hands down mad respect to the triple D's (Daniel, Dowdy, and Derome) in that order. Daniel took it to the next level of big air and unique ways of hitting rails and structures also with some unreal winching gaps. Dowdy made boat look effortless while putting mad style in his riding. Every trick dowdy did was banger! The way Derome T'd up rails and the gaps he did were out of this world! All three of the riders crushed but but the TAO man himself deserves the win!
July 15, 2015
without a doubt Tom won!

Great for the sport of Wakeboarding. Mad props to rathy abadie and dowdy for really innovating the sport. Rathy a opening gap is nonsense
July 16, 2015
Hahaha clearly the person who is using my name as a cover up, doesn't know how to spell my name right. I'm not as shallow as the person using my name cowardly behind a keyboard. I'd never make such hateful and insecure comments about other people. These dudes absolutely destroyed it! Mad respect for everyone in this series!
Cheers,

July 16, 2015
Shota Tezuka and Harley Clifford cranking out the queerest shit in wakeboarding. Robbed plenty of other solid riders who would actually be worth watching and make a real Real Wake submission.
July 16, 2015
For real! These negative comments make wakeboarding look very immature. If you don't have anything nice to say why bother saying it? It is awesome to have wakeboarding back in the X Games series. I am not complaining at all. Plus for the average person watching that doesn't understand wakeboarding tricks they won't know the difference between a BS 7 or a BS 10, so Harley putting some damn colored smoke bombs on his board may actually get him votes. Anyways stop the negativity and support the sport please.
July 16, 2015
Wanted to add that Dowdy should win based on every trick he did was grabbed and landed cleanly. The only things not grabbed were the Moby 7, the TS 1260, and the BS 1080. All tricks that you can count on one hand the people that have landed these let alone clean…
July 16, 2015
Hey guys we are trying to make this sport cool and respected by others you wanna be mature about it go waterski with your daddy on his prostar 190
Fuck the X games
July 16, 2015
Sucks that we have to sacrifice a video part to dowdy or grant when we could have had the real godfather OG of wakeboarding, Ricky G. throwing down a bitchen backwing or hoochie glide behing is Vandall A22. Instead of zoomed in clips of horse heads or rusty's landing strip hair cut, we could have seen come G tattoos on the face and maybe, just maybe a phalanx board. #WSR
July 16, 2015
Alliance should pull all the IP info from the small people on this thread and repost who they are. I'm guessing we'd see a few comments…
July 16, 2015
You're out of your mind if you don't think Daniel Grant had the best part. He makes the sport watchable.
July 16, 2015
Heavy rotation in the comment mill on this one…Dowdy single handedly confirmed boat riding is the shit. Unfortunately, the 3 MC guys came up really short (seriously, I try no to hate too hard on anyone, but smoke bombs? Lame.) DG, Rathy, Abadie and Raph actually putting in work and delivering something relevant. Again, Dowdy was the only one to do that behind the boat for this contest. That wake to wake 12 was a lot cleaner than Dan's. Something else to be said for the G23 and all its done for boat riding in recent years.
July 16, 2015
^^^^^ Ya, def. Ricky G is all this contest needed. I knew it was missing something….
July 16, 2015
Whys everyone acting like kids who winch are from the streets? Im pretty sure the shred town dudes come from a pretty nice up bringing. They own a damn lake. That I'm sure wake boarding didn't pay for.
July 16, 2015
Wow, I am ashamed of you Mastercraft. That smoke bs was the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Next time have your riders put out a good edit like Mike Dowdy's instead of trying to be "artsy." Wake boarding is finally back in the x games and that's what you put out…smh
July 16, 2015

so sick! It is cool to get a little bit of everything the sport has to offer! So hard to pick a winner but Chris and Grants were so sick!!! Rathy took some risks as well

I just wanted to be comment #100
July 17, 2015
Nobody knows how technical Raph was .. And how easy Chris tricks were .. most of the kids at our cable can do Chris tricks easy everytime….
July 17, 2015
Some of you are hating on MasterCraft for the sloppy sections from their riders, but MasterCraft didn't choose the filmed/editor. That was the riders job, so it's on them.
MasterCraft is just cool for helping fund this.
July 18, 2015
Mr. Madison, what you just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response, were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul
July 18, 2015
Much respect for the sick riding. Especially all the winching footage. We all know how much work it takes with a good crew to get those shots, and also the sketchiness of each spot that you can't capture with a camera.
July 19, 2015
In theory this shoulda been an all boat dealio. But thank fucking God it wasn't..
July 19, 2015
amazing riding.Mike dowdy's section was a banger festival
July 19, 2015
No ski boarder edits? I didn't see a single S Bend… yeeeeaasssshhhh
July 19, 2015
Smoke bombs are lame.
Typography made me cringe.
3d Animations were below sub par (at least compared to the mainstream media standard now).
BUT………….. As a whole, I think the riders killed it.. Straight up KILLED IT! Dope ass riding boys!
Although I'm one to say that you should be well rounded in Urban, Wake, as well as Park Riding to be a top rider in my eyes……. I think people need to understand backgrounds and the individual drive of the rider….. Whether you are holding back from branching out to other aspects of the sport because you want to train for the next comp (or paycheck) and hold your standings or simply hanging with the style you dig the most, everyone jams to their own groove…..ya know….. and I respect that… .at least thats how i feel….
BTW your opinions suck (as do mine I'm sure)….
Overall:
Insane bangers with boat riding…..
Gnarly hits on some of the most top of the line 2.0 setups!
And….
Some straight up balls out urban slashes!
Props!
P.S. Just read the first posts not the whole thing but i agree to be the top you should have a dope ass videographer/postproduction artist and be well rounded…. Just my thoughts!
Peace Easy Bitch Lizards!
July 22, 2015
All of you shit talking boat; it's because you can't ride it, you don't need a G23 to ride boat. I learned back in the day behind a shitty I/O and Seadoos, like a lot of boat riders do. Stop using excuses because you can't ride or don't have a set big enough to throw down on a small wake and pay your dues.
Rathy deserves it alone for that double to step up transfer…

Well…
Chris Abadie got Gold. He wasn't riding behind a Ski Nautique and he didn't throw any S Bends or slow balls. He could have at least thrown an air front… Thank god I wasn't invited to compete this year

Yeah whoever thought of the editing style for these videos needs to retire.

First comment only applies to the first 3 vids by the master craft riders. Those suck. The rest are awesome. Dowdy should've included one or two sketchy street transfer things and he woulda easily taken it. Needa have both kinds of riding I think. My personal order woulda been.
Raph
