I have a video here of me doing a HS Wake Jump. I almost clear the wake but need another foot or so. Anyone know how i can gte over the wake better? This is probably an average of my jumps but in this one i am a little offbalanced and am usually more balanced in the air but this was the only good video i could get. Anone have some advice?

I'm at about the same point you are, having trouble getting that last foot

A few thing that i KNOW could make you clear it is 1) shortening the rope, 2) increasing speed of the boat

but, to me it looks like your not standing tall at the top of the wake

our rope is as short as it can go. I think were going to get a wakeboard tower in a week or so so that will help with shortening the rope.

Your knees stay pretty bent the whole time. It looks like they're absorbing a lot of your pop off of the wake. The progressive edge looks pretty good though.

You need to stand tall at the top of the wake And keep the handle at your hip.

You aren't edging progressively. You need to edge easier at first and then harder later on closer to the wake. You're flattening off. Remember to hold your edge through the wake and remember to stand tall at the wake. Your knees are bent the whole time.

Watch the slow motion part at the end closely and you can see your knees absorbed the wake as you went through it.

*keep the rope in tight at your hip* and stand tall at the wake
