Cleared the thing by at least a foot. For a size perspective I'm 6'2

I wish I had a pic of it but I cut out on my toes and ollied a no wake buoy similar to that last one but it was probably 3ft-3 1/2 high. I didn't clear it by much but I got over it.

One of us Aussies need to get a pic of Chris O'Shea, he ollies like a mofo, and its not just that, its that his arms are so unproportionally big, it makes it look even bigger Laughing

I think it's a speed and technique thing, cut and ollie rather than just let the boat pull you I think.

I can get enough to 180, but not quite enough to grab convincingly........yet.

Wow, some of you are getting just as much air as I get on my w2w!

Would you mind explaining your technique for all of us to learn?

Thanks

its a lot like ollieng a snowboard. not quite a skateboard, lol.

i ollie a lot on the flats, aspecially when i hit chop from other boats. i try to gap the waves. i enjoy it.

RufioSwashbuckle · Posted: Jul 22, 2005 9:00 am Post subject:

to ollie , what I do is put a little pressure on my front foot , and then shift the weight and pressure to my back foot in one sweeping motion. works pretty well for me.

LFADAM · Posted: Jul 22, 2005 2:49 pm Post subject:

Just cut out on your heels hard to gain speed then kinda push down against the water with your front foot then jump. When you do the little pump with your front foot it helps so much. I dunno why. But look at most pros ollie something and they do the same.

Here's an ollie!

and Here is one of me

RUSSIAN, hey , is it hard to ollie on a wakeskate? Do you use the same methods or do it more like a skateboard?

RUSSIAN · Posted: Jul 25, 2005 8:01 pm Post subject:

Yeah, it can be. it took me awhile to get any real height on my ollies. for the longest time I wasn't pushing down first then popping it. Now that i do that its way easier. I would say it's a combo of both.

damn Wakebrad, do you know how high that ollie actually was???

Wakebrad · Ladies Man Joined: 11 Dec 2003 Posts: 12257 City: Dallas

I'd estimate around 4 ft..

nitewake · Posted: Aug 03, 2005 9:38 am Post subject:

When you ollie do u cut and press down and jump and pull up with the other foot... or do you go straight and ollie? do u do it while your on an edge? or with alot of tension in the rope? a quick explination of how to do the ollie would make my day Very Happy

Wakebrad · Ladies Man Joined: 11 Dec 2003 Posts: 12257 City: Dallas

nitewake, The faster you're moving the more you stay on top of the water. So I cut out hard to the side, then level off (lay the board back flat/not on edge) I pump a little (rock forward a little then back) then rock forward again and rock back onto my back foot, pulling my front foot off the water and jumping off my back foot in one fluid motion (kind of like a skateboard ollie). When I do the ollie there's usually some slack on the rope because I just cut out to the side hard so no there shouldn't be a lot of tension.
