Who are the larger people on here that can do inverts and which ones? Like people over 6 foot and over 200lbs.

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 Mr. Green ).

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

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!
