so over the weekend i was finally able to ride switch and make my surface 180. I then decided to move on to jumping the wake. Im not sure I understand fully what I am supposed to be doing. I have the book dvd set and have been watching it and I keep hearing the term "pop" at the wake. So when I edge to the wake and i get near the top I push down on my rear foot. is this the "pop"?

That video said everything mala. I wish I had seen that before too. All great advice, I think I'm going to show that to my buddies who cant seem to get the wake jumps down.

Yeah, one of my mates is really good friends with him. I live in Dubai, so he comes over when the Oakley Riot event is on and stuff like that. The 'Cromo' as he's known is great to watch. Seeing him and the others barefooting on a cable was hysterical.
