That being said, should the next one they pay on be way better? Obviously. Good for that guy! All you complainers should seriously rethink what you a bitching about, Volcom made more than 10K on the publicity. Dickson Cider 03/14/2011 03:28 PM Haters are on every page with every rage. The people spoke on his behalf. Don't hate the kid. He did this for years, bearing the scars, and finally nailed it. Above the lip is going to be a feat that requires alot of luck becuase of the wind / landing on a moving target. Let him feel good about his accomplishment you prck haters. Jeromy Hansen 03/14/2011 11:35 AM * PREMIUM MEMBER - Real Name Ryan Divel did this on a 9'0 longboard back in the 90's "Whats really going Wrong" Lost Video. Lets see the Real Kick Flip for the 20K. I 've got a friend that deserves the 20k and make all you viewers proud :) Cleve Surfdogg 03/14/2011 10:39 AM nice trick, but definetly a chop hop! Andrew 03/13/2011 11:01 AM Did this progress surfing or is it just a nice trick? I believe that what volcom set out to do was to reward someone for pushing surfing, this is a nice trick but i would never want to see this wave scored over a 3. Do a proper one like that of Ozzy and its deserving of the accolades and the money. chill 03/12/2011 04:40 PM its going to take a long time before someone does this off the lip & they'll probably only have at most one nut by the time they do too. lots of moving variables, the wind blowing the board away being a big one. good call volcom, the boycott movement was mounting & unless you can do better, stfu! kickflips started with Rodney Mullen (?) barely even rolling and took a good 5 years to be integrated to street skating let alone vert (often grabbed). props to zoltan, now lets see an ollie impossible Rick Novak 03/12/2011 04:29 PM * PREMIUM MEMBER - Real Name "Haters are the real kooks!" Thanks Mike, I second that. Congrats Zoltan.... magic! whamo 03/12/2011 01:57 PM 10K for that? You have got to be kidding! Why not award 10K for the longest tube ride of the year instead? You know, some real surfing. Carl Chascon 03/12/2011 12:39 PM 10gs for zoltan for sure. rule#3 should be: the kick flip must be completed higher than the highest part of the wave when measured vertically.... Technically the lip can be at the bottom of the wave when the wave is hollow and pitching out. and wtf is a "real air" - i know what this implies but consider the phrase youre welcome for this "real advice" DWalden 03/12/2011 12:03 PM Glad Volcom did the right thing, that kick-flip was righteous and at The Lane! Sick. Surf City showing the world how its done. scott maginn 03/12/2011 11:38 AM * PREMIUM MEMBER - Real Name Its a Chop Hop...he gets off the wave before he gets to the lip. [email protected] 03/12/2011 08:29 AM not taking away what he did, cool he's been trying it at all, definitely did a kickflip. But Volcom got guilted into paying him by bad press from people saying he should get it. It didn't fit the rules people! it's definitely not above the lip, wave didn't have a lip, was barely a wave, he ollied to flip it, just like a wakeskate. not really an air at all. But congrats to the guy for complaining and getting the money, can't blame him for that. Can't wait to see him do a legit air with a kickflip Kech 03/12/2011 07:28 AM Congrats Zolton you deserve it. Good on Volcom for rewarding. We know you have been working on that KF for years. Yeeeew! spaghettiarms 03/12/2011 07:23 AM * PREMIUM MEMBER - Nickname right on zoltan. amazing move and prize money well deserved. View All Comments (61 comments)
