correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that just a tantrum? I'm talking about the first one

Looks like you need more pop off of the wake. Do you "trip flip" your edge going into the S-crow?

You just need to ride up the wake more.
You start the trip at the bottom of the wake not the top.

you should start the rotation after you have already got the pop and tripping motion. You don't have to worry about stalling out in the air because the wake already is starting the rotation. You seem to be hucking it.Just get the pop and throw a nice floaty scarecrow Cool

You are leaving too early. That's all. Just wait for the pop, like everyone else has already said.

keeps your legs extended all the way up the wake.

You are not "slamming" the wake enough. What i mean by slaming the wake is really driving your hips into and up the wake as you ride up. If you do this proerly you will get loads more pop and from there it is all good. Maybe try to grab method. As you start to ride up the trough of the wake stand tall and push your hips up into the sky and start to initiate the "trip". For toeside tricks the trip is not near as aggressive as it would be for a tantrum but it is still there, so as you are riding up the wake drive your hips up to the sky and square up your edge. This will give you loads more pop.

don't mind my two bits, but I just learned them and had many pros in this area tell me that mien are bigger than theres. Now I think your not taking a big enough progressive edge.. I mean progressive edge into the wake, with the handle tight in to your body.. and when you hit the wake think pop high.. like if you were going for a front roll.. I keep the handle in tight the whole time and at the last second when I see sky again I let got with my front hand and yank it to my switch front hip. I think that should help, if not yourself but maybe someone else Very Happy
