Kyle: I broke the zipper on my wetsuit at the end of winter last year, haven't bothered to get it repaired yet. We should still have a few months of boardshort riding yet!

By the way Kyle, did I miss anything interesting in the 'Get a life' Thread before it was deleted... I wish I didn't have to go, I was looking forward to ripping on that guy in a big way Twisted Evil

I don't know for sure, because I didn't see it all myself, but it was a BS thread to begin with, which was posted by some gutless loser directing stupid comments to some of the good blokes on this board. Confused

In Utah we just got our first decent snowstorm this morning and we needed it bad. I still hope to get the boat on the water this next weekend.

You just got your first snowstorm and you want to put the boat on the water? Wow... you're braver than me!!

If I had my way it would keep snowing all month, I'll be glad to wait. Check out this link to see how bad it is out here in the west. http://drought.unl.edu/dm/monitor.html

Ya well today i shoveled snow off my trampline and landed my first backroll. The funny thing is that after i landed the first i landed 3 more without falling, now i can do them about 90% of the time.

Sad

wish i was wakeboarding right now

DaveBrowning · Posted: Mar 01, 2003 8:15 pm Post subject:

that's awesome!! I'm still working on mine... for some reason, i can't seem to do like a real over the top backroll(or flip). I always seem to go off to the side... it's making me mad!!

mandi · Outlaw Joined: 24 Feb 2003 Posts: 223 City: Oklahoma

it is still cold here in Oklahoma as usual it won't get warm enough to get in the water until late May.

DaveBrowning · Posted: Mar 01, 2003 8:23 pm Post subject:

yeah... it's late may early june here in arkansas. even then, it's still a little chilly!

Dave: Just throw your head, not your whole body, you'll soon get it... (for a backroll that is) Its the first invert I learned.

DaveBrowning · Posted: Mar 01, 2003 8:29 pm Post subject:

crim- i'll try that... i always want to like throw all my weight. maybe that's what throws me off. i'll give it a try!

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

I think that no one can tell you how to do it, i just did it through practice. It was really funny the first trick i tried when i got on was that and i got it first try after trying for about an hour total over the past week

DaveBrowning · Posted: Mar 01, 2003 8:46 pm Post subject:

Now I'm probably gonna go out and practice all day tomorrow... hopefully i'll be able to get it by the end of the day!

criminally_minded · Posted: Mar 01, 2003 8:50 pm Post subject:

Just jump, don't throw it straight off the mat, pick a spot ahead of you and slightly below where your rope is tied off, throw your head and try and imagine it rotating around that axis. When your almost all the way around, look down at the mat and spot your landing.

Oh yeah, keep the handle in tight to your waist. Easy as pie. Very Happy

Actually.... I would rather throw 5 backrolls than type that really bad explaination again... Rolling Eyes
