|
|
Hey everyone, so i landed my first ts backroll probably 2 years ago but never really had the opportunities to practice that ive been having now. To start... it is very sketchy for me to w2w jump toeside, yet i can throw the backrolls pretty comfortably. Today i was pulled by a wakesetter at around 21 and i landed 3 back to back to back but i couldnt clear the wake while doing so. Id be cutting about as hard as i could (line would slack a little and id get on a hard edge and hit it) but just was never able to get the distance. Should I just get pulled at a faster speed or what? And today i was using a shorter rope which didnt help me out either. (i know technically it would since its a smaller wake, but im not trying to cheat)
Thanks! _________________

That is where it goes wrong. Progressive edge dude, that's what it's about here. Start really gentle and don't edge really hard until the last 3 meters or so before the wake. But then edge HARD.
Then don't throw the roll too soon. Wait for the pop, then rotate. _________________ FlyZone Wakeboarding Costa Rica |

i always thought that the rotation was essentally automatic? i dont try to flip, it kinda just happens. ill focus more tomorrow and see if i can do it. it definatly makes sense and i think i could get down toeside wake jumps before i can get the technique down correctly. when i jump hs ive been told by everyone that i only cut out 5-10 feet and i usually clear the wake from there. yet even when i charge the wake ts, i seem to case it each time. _________________
