Posted: Feb 11, 2005 1:18 pm Post subject: Why is my toeside front role jacked? |
|
|
When I try to throw a toeside front, I typically land with my board sideways and usually a little on my arse. I'm goofy and sometimes if I let go with my right hand I go straight into a s.crow, usually with butt-check. How do I keep my body straight over so I can land on right foot forward? _________________ "You can never, I mean never have enough weight in yo' boat-til it sinks" |

do you have the handle close to your body when you are flipping? _________________ Hesitation leads to pain |

| If your goofy then you need to take your left off the handle not your right. If you take your right off it will always pull to a scarecrow.Because the pull is coming from across your body. Also try holding on with both hands about 3/4 the way through and take your left hand off when you spot your landing. Try looking for the shore as soon as you can. |

Try thinking of it like this: Push the handle down and try to spin around it. It keeps the handle in close and then it should go right into your other hand. _________________ www.ten-80.com |

| might also help you to think about landing on edge. so not only must the handle be close, it needs to be a little behind your right hip, so that you can land on your toes. good luck. |

| what you need to do is let go with your let, hold on with your right for starters. Take an aggressive cut, flatten out real good as your going up the wake, when your in the middle of your flip let go with your left and kick your heels behind you. |

| My picture explains it pretty good. Keep the handle right at your waist. |
