ya, like wakesk8er trevo said- except you also hold the bottom of the board with one hand, till the boat starts pulling you, then you let go, and get up like on a wakeboard (im pretty shore thats right)

When you move the water pushes against the board so it stickes to your feet.

I just get the line taught and do not use my hands on the board. Keep your feet angled just like you would with bindings and you should have no problem. Going wake to wake and trying shuv-it's and kickflips are totally different though.

hey nice sequence. it would be sooo much cooler if you did the finger flip while you were in the air instead of still on the dock, but its still cool. i will have to try those once summer rolls around-I can't wait!

There is not way he rode out of that, he is falling in on the last pic becuse his heels are in the center of the board.

Yes, in my book I don't count it unless I ride away.

Not a challenge, I just have to see how the hell he rode away from that. It looks impossible to me.

i know some awsome wakeksaters that ride on cable, they can land a bunch of cool stuff from a dock, including finger flips and stuff, i dont have any pics though, i though of once trying one, but it would be hard, i still need to get my acid drops consistant before going for that kind of stuff

It doesn't look like a ride away one to me. I've done a lot of them and I have fallen on a lot of them. You fliped too early on the dock and they are easier if you hold the board lower. Looks like you and the driver are out of sinc too, you are early and there is a bunch of slack in the rope. I could be wrong though, it is still rad you are trying new things.
