Pretty new to the site but I put together a vid from some riding last season. I'm looking forward to progressing this season now that I have my own boat. The video is of me on my little brothers Hydroslide board... I couldn't complain because at least I was on the water. I just picked up a Liquid Force Trip 142 w/ Alpha bindings for this season.
Looking forward to getting to know some of the peeps around here and sharing my progress.
Cheers!

Hey man, you still look very uncomfortable on a wakeboard, to be honest i question if you really know the edges of your board. You ever done some edging drills?

I'm planning to start from square one this summer. I wakeboarded a lot growing up from a Skurfer to a Kidder board to a Connelly Dually. I mostly just carved around as a kid.
I took about 10 years off where I didn't have access to a boat until last summer. Where we bought a cheap and squirrelly Hydroslide board w/ some very small bindings. Better than not getting to ride at all though.
I totally agree though... lots of basic areas to progress from and I appreciate the feedback. I just picked up "The Book" and have been watching those videos for all the edging and sliding drills.
But now I have a baseline video to compare to all season

Thats indeed true browneye253, really look at that DVD, dvd2 is the best dvd since it will learn you true wakeboarding.
I did all the edging protocolls and within 6 days wakeboarding i come from not able to do a 180 to doing ollie 180s and all the powerslides 
Edging drills, WORK!
