I have heard of so many people getting killed on this trick, and a hs front flip, but if you got the balls go for it!!

for a front flip do you just pop off the wake, keep the handle in close, throw your head down and your heels up? that seems what you would do, but i've never tried it so i wouldnt know. Its on my list to do though, as is my 360 and tantrum.

jeez if a guy who is tryin to throw a pete rose is saying a slim chance is a really hard move I don't think I am gonna go for it, guess i am way outta my league I was just wondering what my first moby attemp should be and a sort of misty rotation is very natural for me......I guess I will hold off on them for a while, maybe start working on some off axis spins.....

a HS front flip isn't a very hard move at all and while learning it the wipeout isn't very painful, catching your backedge of a 3 is alot worse so all you guys who are scared get out and try it

So do a HS front you wanna cut into the wake ultra hard, doesn't have to be insanly fast but you wanna almost have your chest facing the boat when it comes time for take off, when you hit the wake wait for your board to be clear of the wake before you start the rotation, think of a cartwheel and try to pin your ear to your lead shoulder, make sure you look at the tower of the boat the whole time or you may start tryin to add a 180 in the flip by accident......keep the rope in tight with both arms this will a) help you rotate and b) keep you more on axis, the front flip is a slow rotation so you need a little height to pull it but like I said the wipeouts arn't bad at all......now a off axis wipe out Embarassed

Yeah, I'm thinking front to fakie first. Once you get those, then you should be able to try the slim chance without getting too worked over.
