Hey I can get really high probly 8 feet of air and I was wondering if I should learn a 360 first or a hooche glide. All of my friends watching in the boat say I defanantly get enough air to do a 360. Which is easier and what are some helpful tips?

thanks.

I am assuming you can do raleys. So if you have a really solid raley I would go for the hoochie glide. If you've got really solid 180s go for the 3. If you don't have either of those, learn them first.

[In Napoleon Dynamite Voice] "You got like 3 feet of air that time"

This topic is pretty rediculous, Sketchy, what is your skill level? What tricks are you currently landing constantly? Etc, etc?

Usually people learn 3's first, but to each his own.

Stretchy pants #1, are you seriously asking this question? Those are 2 of the most opposit tricks. Why would you be picking between those 2 tricks?

i can do ts 5s behind a jetski. you dont need 8 feet of air to do a spin. most people dont even get 8 feet of air on a good double up. learn the 3 first.. you wont get your ass kicked on the falls.

Very few people get 8 feet of air constantly. If you're getting that high then why would you just now start trying basic tricks?

Stupid question time - What's a 3? What's a 5?

jpminter · Posted: Jul 19, 2006 7:09 pm Post subject:

1 = 180
3 = 360
5 = 540
7 = 720
9 = 900
10 = 1080

Maybe he is talking about 8 feet of distance, and not height? He is a new forum member and only has 3 posts under his belt, so maybe he doesn't understand the "lingo" of how to describe what he is doing on the water. Just a thought.

I would try a 360 before a hoochie glide. Of course, as mentioned earlier, a lot of that depends on where you are riding-wise. How much air you get isn't a good measure of what trick you need to try next. A better measure would be to tell us the tricks that you are currently doing, and how comfortable you are with them.

you should just put them together and try a hoochie 313 that way if you land it, you will have done both tricks and it will minimize your time

ok here's a picture to show you exactly how high 8 feet is about. so unless you are getting this high without having even tried 360's yet, i severely doubt you are getting consistently 8 feet. it may feel like 30 ft, but its probably not more than 4-5

Mike McLin, I thought about that too, but he said:

do both at the same time ! get the combo !

Epic, a batwing is a toeside trick so i doubt a batwing is what he's doing if he cant clear the wake toeside...maybe an indy glide
