I meet the height but not the weight.
6'3" 180 lbs
You can see my newest invert in my profile pic (I wrecked on that one, but yes, I have landed them. That was just the biggest one I've tried ). |

oh, didnt even notice the d-up. I just learned whirlys with the lyman-esque approach because I was so scared of under rotating  _________________ http://www.wakepics.com/view_single.php?medid=16993 one of few trips i got to make to the lake this year |

Yeah, that was a double up that I connected with real good. I actually had a pretty mellow edge in. It felt so cool spinning and flipping up that high.
But yeah, they are a move that you can just take big and all stylin like Lyman. |

| I used to weigh like 250 and i'm 6'2. I could do a backroll and a tantrum. I've lost like 60 pound and since then I have learned so many new tricks just from not having so much weight to huck around. |

I am 6 ft 2 , 225 lbs
I look more like a defensive back than a wakeboarder..
I would rather be 5 ft 4 and 160 lbs for wakeboarding, but for everything else I kinda like my size _________________ "Our common welfare as wakeboarders shall come first, placing principles ahead of personalities......" |

| Hey I'm 6'4" 260 pounds of muscle. Can bench 420. Last year wa my first year of wakeboarding and i tried a backroll and blew out my ear drum. Havent tried one since. But today I stomped a wrapped hs bs 360, wrapped hs fs 360, and a wrapped ts fs 360. Ive never landed a 360 before either before today and before today I hadn't rode for 2 weeks. I guess they say u play the best golf too after u havent played for a while. I'm pretty stoked. |

| Just go to wakepics.com and search for Buffalow and you'll find a couple of videos of Jason riding. He definitely rips considering that he's 300+ pounds! |
