ahh... yes... you have a common problem with wakeboarders: Toesiditus - The fear of learning toeside because you don't want to start over again and bore your buddies.

The best way to learn to do ts stuff is by practicing ts. The fundamentals are the same, progressive edge, stand tall of the wake, etc. It's a little more awkward at first, but with time, you'll get it.

Just remember on the landing, land way over your toes, and keep your head up. Also, on the beginning cut, don't bend over at the waist. people do that a lot too. Don't do that.

Keep your weight on your toes all the way up the wake, pop of the top(don't let off edge or your board will slow down and you get all tweaked in the air and won't bring it down) keep you handle glued to your lead hip all the way into,upand off the wake and while in the airtil you land. It's kinda like you never leave edge the whole time. The biggest tip i can give you is keep handle glued to your hip when learning ts wake-2-wake.

No prob, your natural tendency will be to let go with your back hand and land with your front hand way out, but fight it. Keep the handle glued to your hip(with both hands) and feel what it's like to get the correct release of the wake. Also, maintain the same body position from when you start your edge into the wake until after you land.

make sure your head is facing the wake not the boat duz looking at the boat messes up your edge.

Nathan, good one-----Toesiditus also know as HS Johnny......We use another name also but it's a bit harsh.

They gave you some great advice, practice!

Heh. I only just got my toeside jumps. (Do what everyone else said - do not lean forward from the waist). Like a fool, I figured it would be easy to do a 180 from there. If you just pull the rope across you spin like a mofo right round 360 into the blind position - which would be great if you could land it.
