|
|
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. _________________
