I've watched it 5 times and I still can't really understand what's going on. These new moves are sick.

Next season all the pwa boys will be doing it clew first. Mark my words.

The hands off version will be a real test of skill.

But how do you keep your booties on?

I reckon you are doing the slider at about 40kn, it would rip them off

eyem's doing way more than 40 in that vid....I reckon he's peaking around 50knots when he steps off.

Maybe add a donkey kick into the move to take the rad level up to extreme.

That's a body drag, it is totally different to my new body slider.

Can't believe you think it's even similar

It's a very, very old move (late 70s), and it's called a "Leg Puller"

I once witnessed David Sheen drop into an 8' bomb at Margies,

he bodydragged half way down the face,

and then got his feet planted back on the board,

to swoop into a maching bottom turn.

He was toying with the wave ...

like a cat playing with a ball of yarn.

I think it's actually a 4 years old move.

Now combined that with your double forwards and you are onto something.
