This is my first post, i've been reading for a while and love it. I just got a Moomba boomerang in July and i've been riding my @ss off since. It's not the best boat for what i do but it does the trick for now. I put together a small video just so i could get some feedback. It's not the best quality so bare with me.

Let me know what you think. Just so you know i can land FS 180 pretty easy and i started trying handle passes today on my 3's. I actually rode all the 3's out instead of getting yanked by the handle into an edge. I only got a hold of the handle once today though, i still haven't landed one but it's close.

Take it easy on the 3's. Don't cut in so fast. Pop, Pull, Pass.

That was actually a wraped 5, I caught my back edge because i spin so fast when i come off wraped. I hope to nail down handle passes today, that seems to slow down the rotation and make it smoother.

i'm thinking you can get way more pop then you're getting right now man, read up on it

ya, its like your not using a progressive edge and getting pop. aswell what length are you riding at cause it looks super duper close.

Right now i'm riding at 64' at maybe 20mph. That is the only footage i have, but i know i get better pop than that. I think some of it was the camera man. I've been working on TS w2w and switch HS 180's w2w and now i'm working on the handle pass 3's. I have always done them wraped and fall hard. Yesterday i was staying up but not quite gettting the handle.
