nice, thanks for sharing- better get after that toe side this year.... you running any extra ballast in the Moomba? keep that back straight and hold that rope close to your hip

we got out last weekend-I took about a 10 minute set to stretch out my arms - water temp was 45 air temp about 50 - it'll take a few sets to get back where I left off.

Nice, how many days a week do you get out? You have progresses a lot over the past couple years, I wish I had a boat and crew. That's my goal for next season, get my own boat. But keep up the good work on your vids, I always enjoy them.

I have been working on the HS backroll for two seasons as well. This will be my third season on it. I have come close but I have not landed it yet. I need to work on holding my edge and getting the pop. It sucks when you know what to do but just cant get yourself to do it. I know your pain, but you just gotta get out there and try to enjoy. But man can it be frustrating.

I thought your boat came with fly high ballast bags?

no it came with stockers, but i did swap out my fly high 750s in the the rear of the new boat, and let them keep the new boat bags to put back in my old boat. so yes i have FH 750s in this boat, but ive never reset the timers Sad i tried a few times, but the online instructions on how to do it, dont seem to work....
so i can only put 400lbs in each bag. but we dont even use that. we run usually 200/300 (to compensate for driver)

Is it just me or do you ride with a pretty short rope?

Cory, you need to man up and go for an invert, you got the W2W down pat. The falls don't hurt any worse then a 360. Just commit.

Just keep going for it. You won't land it if you don't try. I saw the tantrum post you had, and it looks like you are so close. Just don't psych yourself out.
