Thanks for voting, if you do:)
Most riders have some tricks that scare them either because they think they will have some bad crashes or they have already had some bad crashes trying them. The KGB is a trick that I had been doing for years, and honestly not that hard to do, but it sent me to the hospital not just once but twice. Both at contests. The first time knocked me out so hard that I stopped breathing and was face down in the water until the tow boat got back to me. The second smashed my ribs so hard that I couldn't breathe for a really long time, all the way until I got back to the starting dock and my breathing became less and less to the point I thought I was going to lose consciousness. It was one of the most scary moments of my life but the ambulance arrived and quickly got me to the ER. Needless to say, it's hard to get that experience out of my head and haven't done too many, if any since then. So, when Tony brought it up after his set, I was more than a little nervous about going for the KGB again.

Absolutely brought back memories from when I used to ride. Forgot how the water keeps you ageless in your mind. Love the footage bro your amazing. Keep it up !! Electric ?!?!?lol
@@franksdg125 Yup. I remember watching videos like these before I'd go out and ride thinking hmm ok I could maybe try that trick, then getting up out of the water and thinking to myself NEVERMIND lol
Voted for you man! Been watching your video’s on tape VHS since I was 11 years old in the early 2000’s (wakeboarding unleashed with shaun murray also for example). Now I am 28 and still watching your videos. You are my wakeboarding hero man. Stay fit and healthy my man👌🏻👍🏻
Just watched the detention volume 1 intro. Right in the feels..
Thanks Offroad! And thanks for watchin since VHS:)
And here I am wake boarding behind a jet ski just trying to get wake to wake.
I hope one day to be able to pull off these kinds of tricks
Claton Woods the wave behind a jetski isnt big enough
@@superbenroy1 it absolutely is if you do it right. I'm obviously not doing it right
You can do it even though it won't be as high, but you can get a good feeling of pop when you do it right.
I love watching your sets dude. I'm 39 and I hesitate to try big airs and stuff like I used to. I can't afford anymore injuries. You make me feel good about my epic carve sessions that I do now. Old dudes that still shred for the win!
Enjoy the ride for the feeling of riding. Find fun in the simple stuff and keep it flowing.
Totally. Getting back behind the boat at 43yo now after 15 years away, it's a whole different mindset. In my 20s I hit it hard to impress the girls. Now the girls I think about are my daughters, and I take it easy so they won't see Dad get hurt. Boy how times change!
Pretty funny how I mind can shift but shows the perspective and the important things in life @@drewt3210 I'm 43 as well:)
DrewT I know exactly what you mean. At the same time I want to show my daughters what dad use to be able to do! I’m only 33, but I’ve punished my body a lot more than most my age...
KINGDOM MT yeah, that’s definitely something to consider. They aren’t usually impressed with the other “cool” stuff I do either! Lol Wakeboarding almost killed me at 19 (you can read about in a comment I left on this video earlier today). Fortunately I didn’t have a wife and kids then, because they probably wouldn’t even get on the boat with me, had they been around for that experience. My parents were wanting me to sell the boat that I started saving money for at 12yrs old, after wakeboarding for the first time. No way that was happening. Teaching my girls to wakeboard was something I’ve looked forward to since before they were even conceived and teaching them on the boat I grew up on makes that much better. So point taken. I’ll try to avoid going big, until their addiction is at least half as bad as mine, so I won’t scare them away!
You seem like a great dude, I'm glad I watch your vids on wakeboarding rather than others. I just feel like you are my long lost uncle or something.
You are the man. You make wakeboarding look so easy. I am 48 years old and I have a bad knee so I have to give up riding and trying the tricks. So I Barefoot ski more now. I am teaching my son to learn on the Zup board for wakeboarding/kneeboarding and the SeaHorse to Barefoot ski. Shaun I enjoy your dedication and devotion to the sport. Great job on the tricks you landed. Take care brother.
Thanks Bobby Co (that's what I knicknamed you which prob isn't new, but I think it's still cool). Have you seen my low impact wakeboarding vid? th-cam.com/video/Gk0CdoJxxi8/w-d-xo.html
True legend of walking on water. Respect
I only glide across the water. Now Jesus and Peter...they walked.
😆
Your riding Shaun, Timeless man. Started watching you in 96. Motivational to still see you riding as hard and good as you do!
I’m just out here training for Bobs wakeskate world championship. Can’t take the beating of having the boots on. Keep it up man
Appreciate the words Trey. I used to wakeskate til I had my bad crash back in 04. Bobs worlds! Noice
Awesome! I remember the first time I landed a backroll. I had been trying the trick for probably 2 years. I got such a bad concussion while at Wakeboard School I had to go to the emergency room. But after wakeboard school and gettting back at it i finally landed it! This was all around 14 or 15 years old and the start of life long passion for anything waterskiing related! Love it!
Shaun you're the perfect Ambassador for the sport of wakeboarding...Correct Craft is lucky to have you. Such a great example of a fun dude who knows how to teach the sport. My daughter's and I love your videos. I came to Bonifays in Feb 97 for a camp but kind of wish I came to yours. Thanks for all you do.
Dave Low
man... like a true pro, you make it all look so easy. i started wakeboarding a few years ago, but i just ride... no air yet. i don't have friends who ride SO MUCH better that they could teach me how to get even a bit of air safely. people have dumb ideas, like accelerating the boat to 30+... i got a mild concussion once already, lol
Good to know you're enjoying your time on the water...until your friends decide to yank you! thanks for watching Dmitriy!
Man.... you, Byerly, & Shapiro were my super hero’s growing up. I remember saving up for my “Murray 142” when I was in 9th grade.
That's awesome Cliff!
My Crow 5 looks a lot like yours.... really sad that I never got it on a video or keep on doing it for competitions... this video made me want to come visit and go ride with you and get all my old tricks on the video for memories haha
Would be great to have you out for a rip Mitch!
You’ve inspired me man! I haven’t done the wrapped k since my injury as well! Might have to make an attempt this weekend
How’d you go? Spend much time in hospital? 😂😂
Ohhhh snap! That looks sic! Yo that's awesome! Dude should be a pro wake boarder.
He is a four time world champion! lol
Gamer Gavin that’s the joke
Started riding for the first time & obsessively at age 35 and I find myself going back through old footage getting inspired to try things I was working on but only landed once or twice and have also taken beatings on. (Roll to Blind, Big [Shaun style] Raleys, Crow Mobe) I will say that the pain increased exponentially after age 46. (I am 51 now). Injuries deter getting back in good riding shape now that wakeboarding is not as big of a sport anymore. Kudos Shaun, I will be curious to see how long you keep the stoke to ride at a high level! Giant Raleys at 60? :)
I'm finding that going back to some simple things, less risky things, are actually a ton of fun. Check out my switch backroll video. Have been riding unweighted sets lately and working on fundamentals and some things like switch bs 180's landing wrapped better.
I been watching vids listening to people say they ended up in the hospital thinking how is that possible? I mean its just water right?.....Fast forward a few months and 3 days ago I got up for first time. SO I been playing with surface 180's just trying figure out the basics, low speed 13-15mph. Today I pump that baby up to a whopping 18mph(novice setting on boat) and out of nowhere decide to try a wake jump. If I got 2' I would be surprised but fuck me the faceplant afterwards, and rib shot I took was 100 times more then I was expecting. Might have amplified since the water is cold but probably not. I certainly have a lot more respect for the guys I see on youtube flying through the air cause I know damn well crashing at that speed and height is gonna hurt a lot more than my sissy la la faceplant.....Much respect Shaun
Legend. Just gotta say your attitude is awesome: authentic and just straight up having fun. Now I can't wait to ride & ski this weekend. Thanks buddy.
Hope you had a good time this past weekend!
Bro you are the best, been following you for years
7:01 kgb “it’s and easy trick” 😂
Yet another great vid from Shaun. Thanks for sharing.
This man is family friendly Steve O lol!😂Even down to his voice👌🏻
Do you even know who Steve O is then? Not even close hahaha Shaun needs to smoke about 50000 cigs before he’s on his level
That trick after the 3rd kgb. I haven’t seen that one since either detention or Shaft. I can’t remember. You are awesome man!
Now there's some classics. Nice memory. I can't remember either:)
I remember watching my first wakeboard movie probably 25 years ago and in it Shaun sez "were not going fishing, were going wakeboarding!" I thought that was so cool and I remember pissing countless fishermen off (not on purpose)hehe with the 3 bag wake we pumped out of my stars and stripes MC about 5 days a week! Thank you Shaun for the vision and drive you gave me on the water my amigo...
Thanks for the fun memories DLR. Not sure what movie I said that in but that's funny.
@@Shaun.Murray Holy crap I'm STOKED! The Man Mr. Shaun Murray actually read my comment and replied back.... That shows just what a Pioneer, Professional and True Representative of the Sport Mr. Murray is hands down! You will always be admired and respected by me Shaun.
By the way if my memory serves me right I believe the video I quoted you from was a Hyperlite promo and even then your goal in that video was truly to promote the sport ... which helped make it what it is today!
For that I say Thank You Brother
Kevin Johnson, Arlington Tx.
I had to watch this. Having all these fears of If I’ll ride again. 30 days ago I tore the ACL. Fractured tibia, fractured femur and then ended up with blood clot at the knee. Really starting to wonder if riding is worth it any longer.
Richard, I hear ya. BUT, have you seen my low impact video? We get too caught up in thinking we need to push the limits mentally and physically all the time but in reality, we don't. Check it out and maybe giver a rip w out fins.
th-cam.com/video/Gk0CdoJxxi8/w-d-xo.html
Awesome riding! Going to the lake tomorrow and it's been years. This video got me pumped up to try things a little out of my comfort zone
You are bad ass Shaun! Also you are humble too. Very inspiring...
You are a BOSS...!!!! Keep inspiring
Thanks Pat!
I voted for you Shaun!
Thanks James!
Best video I've seen on TH-cam in awhile. I've been watching you ride since your early career and I sill can't believe you can still do all of these tricks. It seems as if you've found the fountain of youth! What's your secret? I'm old and fat and all I want to do is surf anymore, it's much less painful. By the way, I broke my jaw when I was 24 trying my first invert. Never tried it again, haha!
Sending my child to OWC summer camp next summer. Are you around with the kids at all? Just want to say I grew up watching you and stoked you are still out there killing it. I set my 6 year old up with a board and he's hooked. Working on selling the fishing boat we have to buy a wakeboard boat!
My kids head to the summer camp as well. I hang w them and their friends while they're there and I'll stop in sometimes when I'm coaching during the summer. Just never scheduled to be part of the camp.
Shaun Murray Awesome good to hear. I hope while we are there I could say hello. Also stay safe and tie up that G23 so it doesn’t blow away as this hurricane heads your way. Looks like it might hit us up in Charleston as well.
@@scottcourtney5647 you in Charleston?
Shaun Murray yes sir!
You ever come up this way?
That is a sweet bike! My dad used to have an identical one but brown. The blue looks way cooler!
Right?! I mean, brown sounds sweet too though.
Yeah brown is not bad either, I wish I still had it hanging up in the garage like you do. I do still have the Skurfer though in the pink color! It would be cool to try to get some straps for it again and take a run on it after three decades. Nice work on the KGB! 👍🤙
Awesome and inspirational video!
I love watersports and after seeing videos of you and other wakeboarders, I wanted to try it myself. So I bought a wakeboard last year, but the day after I bought it, I broke my foot while doing it. That meant seven weeks with crutches, and I haven't dared to try It this year. But I always want to try it again when I see your videos and specially after watching this.
Love your content.
Solid man!! Enjoyed watching that wrap kgb!!
Shaun, I keep getting inspired by you.
I'm 45 and arrived at the sport probably to late. I'm trying to do the 360 this year, and eventually an invert in 2020. How old was the oldest person you have seen make an invert for the first time?
That's awesome Jorge. Oldest person to do their first invert w me was probably at least in their 50's maybe even 60's. You've got plenty of time. But, make sure you're taking the time working on a good foundation for many reasons. Less hard crashes, faster progression, and more than anything...actually fun doing the basics. Enjoy your ride!
@@Shaun.Murray 50-60? wow! that's great! Good to know that. And thanks for the sound advice. As with everything in life, one has to not only focus on the destination, but also enjoy the journey :)
Exactly @@JorgeFerreira-cd9dr And that's a good point as to why I say "Enjoy your ride"
@@Shaun.Murray Who is the oldest to learn a Mobe? ;)
Fear is really a thing! Awsome you just did that, and that you pushed again for that kgb 👌🏻👌🏻 you killed it 🤙🏻🏄🏼♂️💯🔥
Thanks HLG!
Nice Job... I busted my chin open doing that same trick. Had to get 20 stitches.
Good show man. And yes you have to test yourself. Once you stop testing yourself you get slow. When that happens they get ya. Who ever they are. 🤘😎🤘
Yessir
Hyped for those 2020 boards to get reviled
Soon Brado, soon.
Talking about tricks that scare you and thinking the ambulance won’t arrive in time... Over a decade ago I crushed my trachea when the rope popped, during my pull down from a raley. I landed with the handle between my trachea and the water. I climbed back in the boat thinking I’d just had the wind knocked out of me. Which wasn’t unusual in my crashes back then. After a minute or so I realized that wasn’t what was going on. I could exhale just fine, but each time I tried to inhale my throat would close up, because the tiny bones that hold it open were shattered. I laid on the engine cover of my boat looking up at the clouds in the blue sky knowing that I wasn’t going to be alive when we got back to the dock. I accepted it and made peace with it. Fortunately my friends didn’t give up that easy and pushed the throttle of the Nautique to its limits. Another friend was attempting mouth to mouth and I finally figured out that if I exhale while she tried to breathe air into me, my trachea would open up enough to let a little bit of air in. That badass of a woman continued breathing air into me, as I constantly coughed blood and who knows what else, straight into her mouth. The ambulance met us at the dock (8mins after I initially climbed into the boat). I thought all was good until I couldn’t communicate my required breathing process to the paramedics, so I finally took the bag valve mask away from them and operated it myself. At this point my eyes were swollen shut and everything above my chest was purple. I literally had air being forced under my skin (or so I am told). They tried to intubate once the ambulance got moving and shortly after that I lost consciousness. They never successfully intubated (because they couldn’t get the tube into my sucked shut trachea). At that time I was the only one that had a clue as to what injury I sustained and of course I couldn’t talk. There was no external sign of injury, so the paramedics didn’t know what to do. To this day I don’t know how it happened, but I regained my sense of touch and hearing as we rolled through the ER doors. From what I could gather, a doctor sprinted across the ER with a blade in hand, jumped on top of me, and “slit my throat”. I can’t even begin to describe how good it felt to have my throat cut open in that moment. It was so strange for pain to feel like such a relief. After that I was aware enough to communicate to the doctors with a thumbs up/thumbs down. I unsuccessfully even tried to tell them to pull my brand new quicksilver trunks off of me rather than cut them off. Lol They had their priorities straighter than I did and cut them wide open. That’s the last thing I remember. I woke up over 24hrs later after having 2 reconstructive surgeries. Spent a week in ICU, another week in observation, and then a few months with a tracheostomy tube sticking out of my neck. Anyway, my reason for rambling on about this is to say that I CRINGED when I saw that knot in your rope. I’ve learned a lot about fiber technology since my little mishap and one thing I specifically learned is that a knot can create extra friction and heat in the line and cause it to fail. I’d say you are more likely to get hit by lightning than to suffer the injury I suffered, but as the official rope Nazi, I feel compelled to make everyone aware of the danger. My line wasn’t knotted. In fact no experts could figure out why it failed. According to them, it should have held 10times my weight taking a hard cut at 25mph. Just a fluke I guess. I do want to say that I don’t blame the Murray Faux Leather bindings that I was using, at all for that accident. Lol To get back on topic, it took me 2yrs to get up enough nerve to try a raley again. It’s like I felt fine with it mentally, but my subconscious would tell my body that the shit wasn’t a good idea and I could feel a sense of uneasiness tingling from my fingertips to my toes. I guess it was a PTSD type response. I’ve never felt anything else like it and even to this day I have to fight the urge to bail out of a raley. So well done on making the KGB comeback! I know what that took to do!
That’s a crazy story you lived through and what a bunch of amazing people that kept you going. Thanks for sharing
Shaun Murray thanks for replying! 15yr old me would have never thought that I could one day just randomly talk to Shaun Murray from anywhere in the world. Lol
damn i cant believe the wrapped kgb of all things ! i would think a 911 to blind or something. thanks gregg for inventing it.(i was at masters in 96? when i met u)stephen
I know right?! Have probably done thousands of them, but some of my hardest crashes are from them. And yeah, I have some other tricks that make me nervous still and don't do too often. Maybe more edits in the future. Makes me nervous just typing that:)
So far I've only gone wakeboarding 3 times. Still learning how to get air off the wake. Taken some killer slams, but tons of fun.
Wow...So cool seeing you still rip it!
Love it Shaun. You're an inspiration.
Your actually so good!!
That trick is sick
Hi Shaun! It's Quade! I'm still practicing everything you've taught me
Right on Quade! Was great having you and your family out this week:)
Thank you so much for teaching me!
the slow moo yaaaaayyys are funny as
😂
I loved your wake game for PlayStation was so sick.
Was/is a good game
@@Shaun.Murray yes sir was and is a good game. I actually bought it twice second time took me a little too find it. Keep it up with the videos love watching you shred still.
Legend.. soo smooth
Thanks Bro Do
amazing skills
Congrats on bringing back the KGBISCUIT and hitting plenty of hammers on top of that 🤘🏻🔥🔥🔥
Biscuit. Now it's time for a Triscuit. You have to know John to get that one. If you've ever ridden OWC and had the operator rhyme as you go off the dock...that him. You're funny Haile.
Triscuit! 😂😜Thanks Murray!!! That means a lot!!! We’ll have to ride together sometime ❤️🤘🏻😃
Yeah buddy! You bet. We gotta hit the lake for a quick set. @@JohnHaile

You are an absolute inspiration Shaun!! love your work mate. Do you do coaching sessions when you are in Australia because I would love to pay for one if you do?
I usually do when I'm at the Nautique reunions over there w Nautique Central. Tell Kate or Daniel the owners of NC I sent ya:)
Shaun Murray thanks mate, will do! I’m spewing I wasn’t able to go to the last reunion! I’m out Sydney and normally deal with michael the manager of the Penrith branch so I’ll touch base with him to see if I can book you in when your here next. Cheers mate.
I love wake boarding so much but I have been trying to do a back role but never been successful. It's been super annoying and frustrating. I have been wake boarding all my life, but I live in Canada so I can only go out during the summer. If you have any advise to help me out that would be great.
Shawn what is your rope length on this video? 65'?
Awesome! I think the first time i saw a wrapped kgb was Shaun in wakeboarding mag back in 98/99. He was wearing wakepants.
Also great to see that crow 5 again. One of my faves, looked so good when they were blasted out into the flats.
Yes! The one time I wore wakepants, the grey ones. And of course captured on film. I'm not worried though cuz you know I don't mind being goofy wearin weird things.
Top of the Top
Yeup- went through a phase when I loved doing wrapped kgb's. Started to grab them and got destroyed by one attempt, then the same exact crash happened again and I decided they weren't that cool anymore haha went through the exact same thing with sbends
Im in my 40s and i calculated i made over 1,000,000 from wakeboarding. I only won some local tournaments but my money was made through the business contacts i made. Now i have over 400 commercial tenants. I was broke and learning behind an old barefoot Nautique. Im afraid to just do a ralley. Can you do one for me to give me confidence?
Love watching your vids. What sort of land training would you recommend for an out of shape 40 year old who wants to have more stamina and endurance to ride longer?🤙🏼🤙🏼
Killed it
Do you use slider fins...if so what size?
No. Just stock fins that come w my Hyperlite Murray board. .8 inch fins.
🤙😜👍 Great one mate!
Thanks Nate
Do you still go to owc?
what type of rope do you use
www.hyperlite.com/product/wakeboard-ropes-handles-murray-w-line
Can I ask what speed and the length of the rope? As always a great video Shaun!
Jk I could just see the description lol!
Are you that dude that had that video game?
I am that dude Scott:)
@@Shaun.Murray I used to play that for hours on end. Soundtrack was killer
Haha my favorite trick to do for sure!!!
class
Rope 65ft?
6:12... wtf was that? Toe side front roll 540?
Called a Crow Mobe 540, or Crow 5. Thinking back, I was actually the first one to do that trick a long time ago, over 20 years, and actually learned it when I took my fins off my board. Not sure why that helped but it did. Still not the easiest trick for me and stoked when I land it:) Maybe an edit on that trick one day.
@@Shaun.Murray 20 years ago? ...probably on a v-hull daycruiser with the rope fixed to the stern too. That was so smooth. Pretty sweet for you to reply in here. Getting stoked back on boarding bc my kids are starting to become of age, so I've been cruising around a bit looking at tricks that I can never pull off!
It sounds like what they call the backside rodeo in snowboarding.
Wanna talk about how many boards this man has lol
And that's me trying to only keep a few from the past years. Crazy to think how many I've ridden over my 25 years of riding professionally and 30+ of on the water. Thankful for each and every one I've been on.
No S turn?
Cool video.
Hey Shaun what is the song on this video!!!??
Dj Quads - Soul
love that
im just starting out on wakeboarding but my progression is huge and i want to learn how to jump back into the boat after im done wakeboarding for example im done with my run if i didnt fall and i let go of the rope and bunny hop on the water till i reach the boat could you give me step by step instructions on how to do this so I can get a girlfriend?! Thanks!
So you can get a girlfriend?! I can help you out w riding but what happens after that isn't up to me and hopefully not up to your riding:)
Check out my playlist that has a bunch of instruction.
th-cam.com/play/PLzW7auimACTo2jYfsUqGqaP0rUqRG6M1w.html
Bunny hopping back to the boat isn't very easy and if you can figure it out, which very few people in the world can do it, it's kinda dangerous.
I havnt learned to stand up yet...
Amazing stuff Shaun, thanks for sharing!! Two quick questions on your new 2019 Murray board and boots (Team X - closed toed). I weigh around 155-158 and was wondering if it would be best for me to go with the 139cm or the 144cm. As far as the Team X boots go, I wear a size 8 and 1/2 to a 9 in shoes, so I'm not sure if I should go with the 7/8 or 9/10 boot? There are no local shops near me to try them on and I'm getting mixed answers on both the board size and the boots online so I figured I would ask the man who helped create them! Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me!

crazy
GANGSTER!!!!
Thanks for watching Poppa ✌️
Yewwwww!!! Ripping!!!
i got over my fear of doing a backflip then 3 days later i broke my leg doing one😂 but i mean i didn’t listen to some rules so i deserved it, but doubt i’m gonna do one again lol
Cool 😎
Im getting ready to buy my first boat, go out and try to wake board for the first time, and im just thinking about how many times im gonna eat shit trying to do a smidgen of just one of these tricks......I told my wife I would give up moto GP style racing and sell my bikes if she let me buy a boat cause she said I wouldnt get hurt wake boarding....lol...im beginning to question that
You were always fun to ride with- and one of the first bits of instruction I got when I made my move from Oregon to Florida, a LONG time ago..... Now I'm racing cars. Check our channel @fastlifetv -Derek DeBoer
Hospital services should be only for people who get sick or accidentally get injured not for selfish reckless people
Gu Nesnaj lmao u funny
Dying sport.... Two kinds of wake boarders: Those with knee injuries and those that have never tried wake boarding. None of these guys will be able to walk in their glory years. sad...
I'm in my mid 50's wake boarding, slalom and jumping (jumping some) if its in your blood, it is what makes life real…if you don't live life…just sit back and rock and watch…and dream or live the dream…two types of realist...
That was my first "Skurfer" too until it broke in half on me.
My next board was the first Hyperlite. After that the Shapriro Pro but didn't like it, apparently the first one he put out had some major flat spots.
Then I got the "97 Lavelle that was honeycomb aluminum and light as hell with Liquid Force Super suction bindings , which was the best board I ever had.
Tried out other boards through the years until the boat broke. Wish I had sponsors...LOL!
It was always great meeting you at the tournaments around Houston and Austin. Glad to see you still got the skills!
Great throwbacks Brian
Awesome! That definitely takes some rather large kahana's 👍🤙
Once in a while I like to go for it, but not every set. :)
That’s rad bud. I wakeboarded for the first time since knee surgery this week. Landed a backroll. Felt so good. Good job sticking the KGB. And all those others. Switch toe was sick. 🙌🏻
Good to hear from you buddy! And great to hear you had a good time on the water after the surg!
The Laird Hamilton of Wakeboarding! Keep it up Shaun!
How do I get motivated to jump the wake
