Shooting from the tube can be fun and get you great shots. This week, both photographers were floating along at high speed, but came up with very different photos thanks to rope length. The decision now comes to you, do you prefer Josh Turner’s shot from in front of the rider, or Matt Fruge’s shot behind the rider? Vote!

Matt’s photo is interesting to look at for several reasons. Depth, definition, better perspective where the rider is in relation to the boat and the trick is always better with a grab!

Both have grabs Denise…
But good points otherwise.

the 2nd photo is grabbing in a non legit spot. so therefor, it doesn’t even count.

both grabs are in the same spot genius, you are a ra-tard.

I stand corrected on the grabs. Still vote the same though.

Theres just something with a shot that is from behind with the boat in it with only one person driving

both these shots are spectacular! finally some good photos. My vote is Matt… solid ad worthy post editing chops.

I agree with Jake. Matts shot is sick and seeing the boat with only the driver in it does something for the picture.
