This will sound like the a silly one....
I have been riding now for over a year and looking at photos of other riders i'm getting a liitle confused with the pop!!!!
I'm trying so hard to nail a backroll at the moment its driving me crazy! Both my brother and i are yet to do it and it seems like such a good challenge!! (i'll kill him if he lands it first because i am the older!)
the prob with both of us is that we just don't seem to get the height that other riders out there are getting. The wake is not a problem (its big), The rotation isn't the problem( sometimes we overrotate) Its the height! What is the best way to get the biggest pop? i keep reading "stand tall" is this the same as jumping at the top of the wake cause sometimes i just go and other times i just fizz!!!! please help anyone!!!!1 _________________ benny
The way that I get a good pop is to learn the progressive edge !! Cut until you are airborn that will give you the most height. If you let off at all it takes the pop out of it and you just get good distance. Try it a couple of times cut really hard until you leave the water. I know this will give you the height you need. Good luck!!!! _________________ If you bite it and it hurts get right back up and try it again you will probably land it because you don't want to feel that PAIN again !!!!!!!!!
