RedBull: Name That Trick
Help Name This New Wakeboard Trick
“Being the first person to land a trick [has been] one of my goals since I was little,” said Italian wakeboarder Massimiliano Piffaretti, “And to finally be able to make this dream come true — it’s awesome.”
Recently, Massi achieved his goal and performed a new type of double rotation — amazingly combining two aerial spins, in opposite directions, to land the never-been-done trick.
Help Massi give a name to this new trick.

4. Include @RedBullORL and @massipiffa and the hashtag #NameMyTrick in your post
In order to get a little more information about how this new move came together, we sat down with Massi to learn more.
RedBull.com: How did you ever get the idea to try and spin in both directions?
Massimiliano Piffaretti: I thought about it in Australia like four years ago. But I never actually tried it. Last year, I saw my friends Trever Maur and Derek Cook trying this trick. And ever since, I couldn’t stop thinking about it.
So what convinced you to go for it?
While in Florida the other day, we had perfect conditions and a solid crew in the boat. Parks Bonifay was driving and was pumping me up.
That must have been extra motivation.
You know, when a legend like Parks gets stoked, you get this insane energy that kind of makes you feel invincible. So I decided to try it and ended up landing it — so stoked!
What would you name this new trick?
Should we call it the “Zero” — since I do a 360 spinning one way and another 360 spinning the other way?

I have seen amateur riders do this trick on the cable 2 years ago. maybe the first on boat but it already is named…
April 22, 2015
Trick is already named 323.
Front3 to (2) back 3

If the boat guys land it first, cable guys use their names…cable guys landed this already. Just use their name…323

Pretty sure Derek Cook landed this on the delta last summer anyway.
April 22, 2015
Cable guys landed this a while ago its a 323

The wakeboard site is stupid. Nice pre-spin bud. Can't pre-spin of a wake.

If he's claiming that the Zero requires the first spin to be OA then I've yet to see footage of it being landed before
but if he's claiming to be the first to do a 360 rewind 360 in any fashion…then there's definitely footage of people doing it prior to him

I would call it "UGLY"!

Sure it may have been done before, but that trick was super sick and unique with the OA 3. I think they're just trying to keep up with all of the new trick hype thats been going on in snowboarding. It keeps people talking about the sport, which hopefully leads to more riding and less surfing this summer

Red Bull is so wack.
