Not sure if you saw this thread on the Tricks Tips page, But would you consider adding your 2 cents to the discussion.

by no means do i consider myself a "pro level rider" but i think Rocket has handled it all pretty well and i don't think any other rider would explain it in a better way. you guys all just have to learn by doing, not by constantly reading about it and confusing yourselves before you even try anything

went and read all of it and Rocket explained it perfectly, thats a really good way of explaining the line tension and pop you create by pullin against that boat

i, like craig-r do not consider myself a pro-level rider, but rocket explained it to a T... and you really do just need time on the water, you wont learn spins or inverts by reading about them all day everyday and expect to magically land them, you are going to fall... thats just part of wakeboarding

I always find that if I just put a copy of a wakeboard intructional dvd under my pillow when I sleep at night, the next day my riding is WAY better. I've learned 7's, Hoochie's, and BS 5's that way. Try it. I promise it REALLY works.
