Speedball 

One of wakeboarding's most revered maneuvers, invented by Darin Shapiro. The Speedball is a heelside double front flip. Normally done off of the Double Up, the rider rotates twice before landing.
If Shapiro hits the Speedball, kiss this competition goodbye.

Double Up 

A Wakeboarding manuever in which the boat's driver navigates the boat back across its own previously created wake. The current wake and the wave created by the old wake come together to momentarily make one enormous wake, which the rider hits to achieve massive air. The path of the boat roughly approximates the letter P, starting at the bottom and crossing the wake heading left.
Bonifay's half-cab double backroll off the Double Up is the sickest move around...
