I am by far not the greatest rider but love to have fun with the sport, there isn't any flips but a couple 180's. Would love some thoughts on technique, it seems like I am not edging all the way through the wake (especially on my TS) Any comments appreciated. Added some music in there as well, great day on the lake all and all.

Location was Orchard lake, MI

Yeah I agree with NKCrider. You seem to be going way too fast, and from the angle, it appears that you aren't going straight very often?

That or maybe the boat is weighted unevenly? Not a very good view to judge your riding or the boat's wake though.

Speed doesn't look to bad I think it is just the angle. The boat looks like it is always leaning to the left causing the right side to wash out.

The speed is about 22-24 mph, so I am guessing it is the angle of the camera. The weight does seem uneven a lot of the time, the driver tries to keep it straight for the most part but it is hard to with such a small lake. Maybe I will try to get someone to hold my D90 on a tripod next time I'm out, that would help with the angle.

got to keep edging on the toe-side - lean back against the rope and stick the handle in your back pocket -
