How long did it take you to jump the wake and land it (One wake and w2w)?

humm..... lets see... 3rd time out i was getting a couple feet of air off one side and making it like 3/4 the way across the wake... and by the 6th time out i was goin W2W

Pretty much the same for me. I started in Mar and by the second time out I was jumping one wake consistently, and going w2w the fourth time out. Now I'm working on landing my and spins first inverts. I am getting real close to my backroll, I over rotate my 3's, and I’m not getting enough tripping action on my tantrums.

..Very first time I ever cut into the wake I attempted a raley Shocked

haha. Nah cleared the wake first time i tried.. but I came from a background of a year riding, flipping and spinning on the trick ski... moved to boarding because there just isnt enough freedom on the trick ski, and hey you can go BIG! Wink

it has one error... i grew up on a skateboard and snowboard knowing that a lein air is grabbing with you left hand behind you towards the nose riding regular

Firefightersmurf · Guest

Like I said, I did just took these from another site. Do you mean the Lien is almost like a method?

BTW the small printing on the regular foot diagram should say "right hand comes over toes in front of you" Colored right printed wrong.

One last grab that is not on there is the roast beef, same thing as a stalefish, just between the legs not around them.

To jump just one wake, i landed it first try.....since the rope is attached down low, I couldn't really get very high and it was very difficult to clear both wakes. So it probably took me a dozen times to clear both wakes.

that diagram is pretty wrong method is front hand grab where the melan is but it is tweaked and that lien crap, tailfish same wrongness of the tindy

Firefightersmurf · Guest

Actually Enzoborder230 according to wake physics, and everything else I have seen a method is approximately in the correct position.

Method "Front hand grab on heelside edge in front of your front foot"

Melan "Front hand grab on heelside edge in between your feet, while reaching behind your front foot"

i dont do them (mostly because everyone hates thema) but why does everyone hate the tindy grab so much, just cuz its easy?

whats a good rope length for starting out?

f150rx7, it's different depending on your boat. Pick a spot where wake is big and clean (usually that's right before it starts washing/rolling over.)

Firefightersmurf, method is a tweaked melan.

I landed it today the w2w HS and TS for the 1st time. I've been riding for 1 and 1/2 seasons.

Well i got up my first time i tried and i jumed the wake my 2nd or 3rd time out and i should be able to do a back roll, 360 with a grab, and i hope a tantrum by the end of this season.(my sencond) I can already do a 180 and almost a regular 360 i should get it next time i got out. I am pretty natural on anything in the water.

Beau Bushnell, thanx for making me feel like a loser. It's people like you who start all the worlds problems... Evil or Very Mad

Just Kinding man thats awesome maybe you can come down to Miami and show me a few tips. The only move which I need no help on is the faceplant.
