Face down, butt up start

I heard about someone doing a facedown butt up deep water start in Wakeboarding magazine and have tried it a couple times but cant get it....

Has anyone been able to do this and do they have any tips? Like do you keep your legs straight at the start? Where do you put the rope, etc.

I know this is a bit goofy, but will sure be entertaining for the people in the boat if i can get it! Cool

Thanks!

I dunno about getting up backwards.. never tried it but a couple of times i've gotten up wrapped holding onto the t-bar and then slid out a surface 3 just for the hell of it.. Very Happy

I did notice the comment on the post about getting up...but all that was said was you look backwards and hold on reverse...is that it? Any other tips because when i tried that it wasn't so easy...

alrighty..so you keep your legs bent and look towards the boat with your face close to the water? I'll give that a try! Thanks airprofile!
