Wave 720° Mark Angulo
We got a nice attempt of a Double Wave 360, which would then be a Wave 720°, or is it a Double Mutant, which is also an invention by Mark Angulo. We were not sure, so we asked Mark Angulo himself to explain the difference betweeen a Wave 360 and a Mutant. Thanks to our good friends at Maui Nerd Productions for sending the move.
Mark Angulo: “I think the first thing I need to clarify is the claim that this video tag makes that I am nailing double Mutants. This is not true. While I am trying double 360s, I haven´t been successful yet. The next thing is that a ” Mutant” is also a 360. A different, much more difficult variation of a 360. It came about as I was trying to do a 360, yet travel long distances over sections of the wave. In order to do that you have to stall the rotation for a second by looking up at the mast tip, which allows for a high speed, down the line, rotation.Therefore the term “Mutant”. I try not to get all technical about 360s, as to me, every one is a good one! Most of the time , the wave dictates the rotation , more than my efforts to manipulate it. The one in your video, I consider to be a 720 attempt. No need for a “Mutant” here. Just trying to get around twice.”

this is not a mutant, this is a wave 360…but whatever its amazing…
Yes, that´s what we wrote, that it is basically a Wave 360, rotated a bit differently.
“nails” ?? I just saw an overrotation, a wipeout. Also Mark explained already in interviews that $this is not a mutant.
sorry medea, but this is not rotated differently, i have seen for example levi doing them the same, or polakow….if you want to make a decent 360 this is the way…the rest are not called wave 360´s…
Looks like air 360 into forward, slow down the rotation frame by frame and watch him sheet in the sail on the second rotation
Agree, Mutant into forward – But still, nice move indeed !
Its a double Gu Screw, because he landing behind the wave and not in front of it.
why they keep saying that its a mutant…its not!!
So what´s it out of your view?
In my view,, just plain old bad-ass. Too much time dissecting what it is guys. Mark’s flying around so quick, you can’t ven claim what it is our isn’t… except bad-ass.
this move is bad-ass, the first rotation is a wave 360 and you can see he wants to go for the doble…coming from Mark i believe he wants to land inside the wave.
this thing is sick!
Man Imma gonna try this thing!
pow!
We´ll ask Mark Angulo about this nametopic, as he is the inventor of all those rotations.
the second rotation is not a 360 is abad overrotation… but it’s possble to do something about it…360 into forward it’s possble…
whatever you may call it, i call it fuckin radical for an rather “old” dude like angulo!!!
Fucking A!!
Please Please Please stop trying to find out what is the proper way to say the move….
Amazing.
Old goats still kick ass! Yeah!
Josh, well spoken! Who gives a crap? F-ing nimrods even discussing what it COULD be…f**k that! Mark is STILL the sickest rider out there any given day, whatever he pulls.
Read the answer of Mark Angulo, if it is a Mutant or Wave 720.
