wtbamoomba, yeah that might be 6 feet. plus he brings it up a little bit for the grab.

Dip_Krew, there's no need to go balls to the wall on a 360 attempt. i hold back A LOT when doing 3s. i edge just hard enough to make it w2w.

fashion air you just kind of throw your board back and one hand in the air and strike a pose

yeah thats about 6 right there. it's easy to tell if you look at the size of him, and imagine him standing underneath himself. also, i usually judge the riders height above the water from the persons butt as opposed to their feet considering that is around where your center of gravity/axis of rotation is and it will never change - bent knees can skew that.

That looks a little more like 10ish to me, but correct me if I'm wrong.

Haha, I laugh at you, and your pictures, and I am going to have to call massive shenanigans on all of your excuses for being all windmilly and out of control in the air.

If you want something to learn...try landing wrapped (also known as blind). You can do a variety of tricks to get into the wrapped position (starting with backside 180's). This is a trick that isn't extremely hard, but takes time to master. It is a really rewarding experience when you get them down. Landing wrapped is probably my favorite thing to do in Wakeboarding.

I plan to work on wrapped landings all next week on my Vacation to the lake. Cant wait. Vacation is a good time to learn things since you have no time pressure, and its just me and a few friends.

I ride 2-3 times a week, but sometimes it seems like its hard to try new stuff.

john alot of your pictures are nowhere near 6 feet, if you mentally move the board around to where the rider is just doing a regular jump with no trick you can plainly see it is more like 4 feet
