Ollie over a boat

I just got the new issue of level x mag. On the cover is a phot seq. of Jason Painter(?) ollieing over the bow of a Moomba lsv. Has anybody tried this? I think I might be a ble to get the height but I think it would be a little freaky. Here's a ollie pic I found, its not very good. I got over a 5 mph bouy later the same day.

Personally, I don't think it's cool enough for the risk. If you dont make it, your wreck your board, boat, and yourself.

You first Kelly! I have logistical problems-- 1. only own one boat 2. trying to convince someone else to let me try their boat( hell no I'm not trying it on my boat first!) Love the new sig. K Very Happy

Ruck did it too... I don't think it would be too hard as long as you got the pop...

ok ill go get the artical

"I was jumping over a boat for a photo shoot. I took a Raley cut btu, instead of doing the raley, i hit the jhon boat. broke my fibula and tibula. i was in a cast and then rehab for 9 months. then i started rideing again, and broke it again in the samw spot, guess it wasnt healed all of the way. total time off the watter was a year." Shocked

Wow, so he wasnt trying to ollie, sounds to me like he was trying to do a Raley air trick , I've only seen that once on the air tricks segment of detention 2. I still dont know how they do some of those with now wake.

this dude that rides with me can ollie no wake buoys pretty easy. im sure he could ollie over the bow of my tige. it's only like 1 ft tall if even that.
i would say try it on a tige first.

could someone please take a pic or scan that cuz id really like to see it and i cant find the mag anywhere around ithaca. By the way how the hell do people ollie so high?

skobi1 · Addict Joined: 15 Jan 2003 Posts: 639 City: eugene, or

I can ollie way higher when I'm going over something, its definately mental!

skobi1 · Addict Joined: 15 Jan 2003 Posts: 639 City: eugene, or

here you go C3 its the best I could do I dont have a scanner. ( or a decent digital cam)

BoardC3 · Soul Rider Joined: 28 Jan 2003 Posts: 380 City: Ithaca, NY

cool thanks alot, thats so insane how do you ollie that high? By the way does the rocker change how much pop you get on ollies?

skobi1 · Addict Joined: 15 Jan 2003 Posts: 639 City: eugene, or

i think its more technique than anything. I just try to push down really hard on my back foot untill I feel the board start to come up then I jump and pull my knees up.

same here. i can ollie way higher when i'm going over something like a no wake bouy. i would think that i could ollie over the bow of a boat but i'd do it to the side first just to make sure so i didn't eat it. just rom memory i don't think a bow of a boat is much higher than a no wake bouy.

skobi1 · Addict Joined: 15 Jan 2003 Posts: 639 City: eugene, or

I dont either Derrick, but I still think it would be rather daunting to cut out right toward a boat. You would deffinetly need some serious confidence Exclamation

Nice... he rides the Swampthing... I guess that means I'll be able to ollie over boats too...

A friend ollied over a fence rail in the water, it was close to the same height as the boat, but it wasn't wide at all.

i heard a story of a guy ollieing one boat bow, landing, and then ollieing over another one. I dont know how true it might be but it is possible

In an old wake video ( cant remember the name of it ) Shanon best does a raley over the camera boat from the wake off his boat before high poles were invented

I don't what video it is but matt staker(I think) ollies over the back of an older master craft, pretty much over the motor box Shocked

i have no problem doing ollie 180's over no wake markers but a boat is a lot further to go. speed would be critical. faction has some pretty sweet ollie to rail shots 3.5 feet out of the water.

i dunno, i remember last time i was gunna try i pussyd out, and sprayed the people on the boat, and they started chasing me down, i was pretty scared to fall cause i thoughti was gunna die. and then when i finally did, the guy started yelling, and then a cop boat rolled by...and he sat down and drove off. i was like...wowo.

I was there when they did this shot. Three guys took turns jumping the nose of the Moomba, but not me. I can't ollie a half sunken coke can. Painter got the best shot and will ollie anything so if you see him coming better get out the way. My advice on ollieing the boat is if you don't know you can do it, don't try it.
