OK, I know its not huge air or anything, but this is the best pic of me to date TS W2W. 
Can't really see it in the pic, but I was going for the Indy. The grabs are getting there slowly but surely.

way to go:) I JUST figured out my heelside W2W this weekend. By that I mean I figured out how to get big air with no speed. I've been able to W2W since the middle of last season but never got big air and was using so much speed, trying any tricks felt sketchy at best.
It had always bugged me that my toeside W2W was hgue and my heelside was rather lacking. but now they're pretty even. Time to start bustin out BS 180's and crashing 3's. lol. My goal is tantrum by the end of first weekend of july. |

Looking good. I'm starting to fine tune my HS like Enygma, getting the big air and good pop. I'm also working on TS doing some 1-wake and trying to keep stable, along with working on my progressive edge.

If it helps, I figured out my problem while I was reading something online. I was standing tall properly and carving hard at the wake but still not getting the pop I wanted.
My problem was I would carve too hard at the start, then by the time I hit the wake I had lost all my rope tension and not getting any pop. On saturday I start turning slower and not really edging till about 5 feet away from the wake, made for High tension on the line and everyone on the boat said my jump are more then twice the height. I started taking huge jumps into the flats. Was pretty awesome.
I had originally thought that pop was all about getting speed and standing tall at the right time. But it seems that holding your edge through the wake and a good progressive edge, to keep good line tension, are a little more important. |

HHI Dave, ooops my bad, typo, I meant 08. I like the 08 design a lot better than the redesigned 09

awesome man!!! working on those myself so i'm not just a heelside hero, Enygma I am having the problem you described, I'll try you turn slowly then edge harder later, anyway dude congrats, no new trick is a small trick, a new trick is BIG in your book and that's all that matters
