The first rider to crack the Top 3 is Kyle Barmoy from Westminster, MD. Kyle probably has the most raw talent of anyone to come through VT. His level of comfort on any board is pretty unbelievable. On a snowboard trip with some VT wake riders, he attempted a 720 on his first hit of the day without ever previously seeing or hitting the jump. While he washed out on the landing, it is a testament to his knack for boardsports. Kyle is also a very well rounded rider. He has inverts, spins, switch tricks, raley based tricks, and style. He has a legit Batwing, an absolutely flawless Tantrum to Blind, and he's a rider who can spin both on-axis and off-axis. HS FS 540s, TS FS O/A 720s, HS Front to Fakies, Crow Mobes, the list goes on. The only thing keeping Kyle from the #1 spot on this list is his limited time at VT. After 1 year, Kyle elected to move back closer to home and is now attending college in Maryland. With his talent, continued progression, and a full 4 years at VT, Kyle could have very well been one of the best collegiate wakeboarders of all time.kyle barmoy 09 from Terry Bailey on Vimeo.
