Shifty and one wake 360/off wake 360.

[eugeneka]

I have seen a friend doing a lot of jump moves kicking out his legs a bit looking like a shifty move... how should that be executed?

Finally, my friend also does a lot of one wake 360 and he says that it is actually safer as you don't need to go as fast... however, one wake 360 probably has to be executed in an extremely timely manner as you probably don't have enough air time.

I guess my friend is quite keen on doing one wake moves like inside the wake out heel side backroll too and that looks pretty slick.

He did mention that he learned many moves playing PS2's Shaun Murry's WAKEBOARDING UNLEASED...

Of course, the moves in that game are kindda outta this world.

Any comment on these off wake moves or one wake 360 moves and how to execute them?

He also told me to practice TANTRUM one wake first so when you fall... you won't be hit as hard... however, these one wake moves are not shown in Higher Education... as TANTRUM should be executed by cutting out really hard and use a progressive aggressive trip flip edge... so what he does is sortta distinct.

i think this is lame. no offense man, but if he can handle a slam, he just souldn't wakeboard. this is a part of the sport. and still, no offense, but it shows that lots of you guys dont snowboard cauz snowboard crashs hurt so much more than wakeboard crash that when you take a wakeboard fall after a long snowboard season it seems like if you'd fall into powder. just go for it and don't think about falling. and if you get hurt tryng something, it'll only make you happyer the day you'll finally land it.

eugeneka, does your friend wear elbow and knee pads too so the water doesnt hurt when he falls?
and i doubt your friend learned anything from wakeboarding unleashed especially if he never goes wake to wake. did he tell you what he learned?
