My entry for a wildcard into the 2013 triple S competition in Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, USA.

In the true spirit of the SSS I put a mixture of all styles encompassing the comp, with an extra "S" added for good measure... That means this is a quadruple-S wildcard video... that's nek level.

Hope you enjoy it!

Cam Barker went once or twice I think... Probably the best rail rider AUS has had. Think Boony and Balls went in the early days as well, they helped build that stupidly big "Camel toe" slider Real used to have.

p.s. Glad my vid is getting the Red thumbs, means I must have made something good for once .

Green thumbs from me, but I'm guessing the red thumbers don't like wake skates or sliders... No one deserves red thumbs for posting a vid of themselves IMO.

Good luck with your entry. Do we vote somewhere?

Cheers brother! But it's all in gods hands I think, well that or some magical wildcard selection machine... I can only imagine what it looks like, I picture a cross between an ATM and a unicorn.

Cheers fellas! If I get in I probably can't afford to go anyway haha.

@Reflex, yes the video was totally lacking in pull-focus shots of total nonsense... next time I will deliver!

To be honest I don't actually have many crash clips... if you click on the "ricks rail" video in my vimeo account you will see what happens when Abel didn't ollie properly onto the slider one time, lets just say I think he got off pretty lucky!

My knees are up and down, sometimes they are great other times they are a bit sore. I used to have a lot of problems with my knees due to wrongly tracking knee caps and Osgood–Schlatter disease. But they seem to have only got better now if anything. Also I started riding my boots at 2 different angles custom to exactly what each leg feels best at and I think that helped a lot. In the end you just have to know your limits and if your not feeling it at the time don't push it.
