 |
|
ive been messing around behind a sea doo, but i can only get about 3/4 rotation, im not throwing it mexican style, just looking too my right shoulder.. it feels near the end that im not rotating enough and start to "float" this is good behind a boat because thats usually what it feels like when i land, but behind the sea doo thats about when i catch my nose

| The only backroll I landed behind a sea doo was super mexican. I was tucked tight in a ball. The move is all edge. |

i'm assuming you can do one behind a boat... i would say really cencentrate on getting the best pop you can, and waiting for it.
BTW i've never tried anything behind a sea doo, so this is just speculation

i can do them behind a boat, but it feels as if im getting only a tiny bit faster rotation, which makes me go only about 3/4 around... it was kinda agravating since i had to go like 26 just to get a decent wake with a lil bit of pop out of it... and how the hell do you do an air roll? i cant understand the physics behind it..

| Why in hell are you going behind a sea doo? Nothing against them i just prefer to wakeboard behind a boat, with a wake. But hey do what you want, oh yeah you might wanna hucka mexi instead of a back becuase backs are to smooth to be that fast and low. |

Physics are the same as off the wake. Load hard i.e.build up energy, release suddenly and it gets converted to air! It's a lot easier to build up this energy against your board if you've got a big old wake washing up against your board!
