when i was on vacation, i was on fire. i was hitting the wake and gettting more pop than ever, i was trying any trick i wanted.. then i spun a simple hs 3, didn't get the pop i wanted and spun a 270 which wipped my head back.. im petty sure i got a cuncussion...

but now i cant do anything like i used to. just simple w2w tricks are seeming tiny to me.

and i was looking to try a tantrum the other day but i was just to scared to even hit the wake.

any psychology tricks or helpful tips for me?

Slow the boat down, take it slow. Go 17mph, cut in, throw the trick, don't worry about the handle. Even if you only get halfway around it won't hurt. Do a few of these and start getting over the fear. Then you'll gradually want to throw it harder.

--norusko--, fill it all the way, drop the wedge, and put a 750 lb sac in the middle of the boat. That wake will be tits.
