Here is a video of me wakeboarding. Don't be too harsh, I know I'm not very good.

I've been trying to work on my edging, it still needs work.

This is partially for your amusement, and partially to get advice on how to improve.

First off I would shorten the rope up a bit. The wake is super wide where you are riding and if you are learning to jump still you will want it shorter. Second off put two hands on the handle when cutting back in toeside. You won't learn to jump correctly if you ride around with one hand. Just put the handle on hour front hip and cruise around a bit to get comfortable riding that way. There is more but work on those things for a bit then check back when you need more help. People are usually very willing to help you out as you progress.

I'll give those a try. Thank you for the suggestions.

Ya def hold on with both hands most of the time. Also when you hit the wake dont bend your knees as much. Hit it with straight legs and youll get alot more air.

Video advice: sober cameraman? (kidding, I know its hard to stay steady)
Riding looks like you are on your way to progressing, and anything I say further would just be redundant.
