Air tricks?

[barbarebc]

Hate to be a newb but what exactly is an air tantrum and all that other air mess? I have never seen an invert done without using a ramp or the wake... I would like to see a video if anyone knows where I can see one.

[Robert Harp]

it's an invert done off the flats.. withour using the wake.

Only a few have specific names:
Bel Air- Air Tantrum
Egg Roll- Air Scarecrow
Tweetybird- Air Whirlybird

no vids.. sry. but you can use youtube.com and do a search for a video.

[barbarebc]

I searched you tube already... what I really wanted to now is how do you get enough air to do an invert without the wake?

[Robert Harp]

you dont even ollie dude.. u just edge out hard as HELL and do it. My wakeboard coach can do an Air Half Cab Roll. it's sick.

[LakeIolaLuke]

I've been working on getting my air backroll dialed, but I have landed it. All you do is make a super hard edge for a split second, then release all the edge at once. The pressure of the water pushes you up and around.

[barbarebc]

so all you do is edge really hard? thats beast I'm going to have to try that

[als132]

they look kinda goofy imo

[barbarebc]

so nobody knows where to get a video? I have a vauge idea what it is but I think it's one of those things you just have to see.

[Robert Harp]

my wakeboard instructor can do an Air Half Cab roll. it's sick. I go NUTS whenever he throws one.

[Fauker]

Robert, who is your wakeboard coach?

[Stewie]

barbarebc, shaun murray tells you how to do them in detention, and he does one in Refraction, and the tell you how to do it in The Book. I've done backrolls off the start-up roller, but I've never worked up the guts to try it in the flats. My friend can do bell airs though.

[Robert Harp]

Fauker, idk his last name, but his first name is Shane. I can probably get you his # if you give me a few minutes to find it.

i can do regular air roll to revert, practice by doing them inside-out (start inside wake and throw off lip into the flats) i actually over-rotated the first air roll i tried. Once you can do them without edging long of the lip(just quickly gettin tension and poppin it outside), go into the flats, stop, dig the board down and sit into a hard edge without bending your knees, you want to put a lot of quick pressure into the water, immediately throw your head up and away from the water and pop the board as if u were just goin up a wake for a regular roll to revert... i'll go do some today and find a better way to explain it

hey sorry about that code crap but go to that link above it and there is a guy doing all kind of air tricks

[Oasis137]

a little bit different with cable...

[QNev]

alafiaboarder, good explanation but do you normally go out heelside or toeside and which edge do you dig in?

[Ctipping]

QNev, depends...rolls and belairs and such are a heelside edge...eggrolls/any ts wake to wake tricks will be toeside.

The "Load and Release" training section of The Book shows a HS R2R.

It is done in slow motion and you can really see the edge required to do it.
