that looks like it is going to hurt. i can do them, but i don't try them very often. i can stick them almost 1st try everytime now. just give it a really good pull right off the start and keep pulling your back hand to the small of your back throughout the trick to be sure you have the full rotation. it's a tough one, but keep at it becasue it's a sweet trick.

Mitchell, Your head is the wrong way on the landing. Look at the shoreline, it will keep you over your toes and you'll have more air awareness.

Pete rose is more up an up and down trick so if you huck it low chances are your going to land on your butt or not make the rotation. Shorter cut, harder cut, more up and down.

Thats what I thought, my heads the wrong way, theres to much pull on the rope its needs to be closer and more air, On this one I landed then at the bottom of the wake then got pulled out I didnt smack or anything

K-wood Kid, Laughing

you never believe anything do you? it's on film, trust me, but the camera that it's on doesn't have a USB plug-in. i can't upload it until i get hold of a camera with one that can fit my tape. you realize that on stuff i say i can do and you say i didn't, i make you look like a dumby wumby whenever i get proof?

WakeBoarder44, they were filming me, this was at a wakeboard camp and after we got all the instructors and went out and made a video, Bart Copeland (emilys) brother was there also riding

I think if you are attempting to land them wrapped, at that point in the second pic is almost exactly were you want to look, only i would want to spot the 2nd wake more for the duration of the landing. this will put you into perfect position to resist the pull of the boat.

of course keeping the handle in a tad closer wouldn't hurt, especially on the landing.

ohio_wake_2008, last time you posted a video with the toeside roll to blind crashes. Still no proof of alot of your claims. Your full of sh*t.

K-wood Kid, that's because that was the only toeside r2b i had on film. all i did was miss the handle on it. when i claim i can do something...i can do it. i don't lie about what i can and can't do; i don't bullsh*t people.

too add to what blake said which was all pretty darn on the money, unlike a toeside backroll, you really want to try and explode the method grab off the wake into your hands. I really try to push off the wake as hard as i can with the sole intention of getting the board to my hand method, if i miss the grab, i missed the pop and then take a similar fall to what you are about to experience in the picture but maybe not as harsh as what that looks like it is about to become. The key to the trick is getting the grab and really torquing your head hard because the first part of the spin comes easy but once you are at about 270 degrees it becomes harder to pull around, which is when you want to reach for the handle pass which should finish the spin off right.

Blake, i understand what you are saying. i didn't want to take the topic but i don't like when people doubt what another can do. i don't do the trick that often...just whenever i have a good session, i'll throw it and will usually land it on the first try. when i get hold of a camera to upload my videos from vacation, i'll make a video with everything on it...just give it a little time for me to find one from a friend.

ohio_wake_2008, its fine dude. Lets just give more pointers to the kid. Again, you seem like you at least know what the mechanics of the trick are, so tell him what has worked for you, and what hasnt. :et us keep this thread in the right direction, and positive.

kyle, i actually don't do the grab. i can't do any of my inverts with grabs Laughing

. it's fairly difficult, but i don't know how hard it is for me compared to actually grabbing it. i just give it a good tug and let it come around.

hang on, does a pete rose have to have a grab to be a pete rose or is it just a TS Backroll to FS 360?

I can do the TS FS 360, but I have yet to land a damn invert. Reguardless, I'm not going to try it any time soon. I'm Just curious.

Craig-R · Guest

no, no invert requires there to be a grab for it to be named what it is as far as i know

holdsworth · Posted: Sep 26, 2006 4:01 pm Post subject:

there's no need for there to be a grab to consider it a pete rose. everyone says that it is a much easier trick to do with the grab because it helps the rotation of the spin (supposedly).

if you read the index of this website, it says the way scott byerly intended was for it to include a grab. so by the books, its just a plain old simple t/s b-roll f/s 3.
