So, this summer im ready to start taking stuff alot bigger and i was wondering if someone could give me advice on how. I have tried crow-mobes and whirly's but it doesnt seem like im getting enough air on my tantrums and scarecrows to get that extra hight you need to land mobes. Take a look at the vid and tell me if you got any pointers THNX Smile

looks like all your height on your tannys comes from edging like a banshee. You want to wait to throw it unitl your at the absolute peak of the wake. It'll boot you out into the flats way better than a hard edge will.

IDK man ur looking fine in my opinion. Maybe a little inconsistent. Some of your tricks like I saw one HS 3, TS 5, and your first Tantrum are low, but you do a Massive krypt, massive dUp tantrum and some other stuff so I would just focus on getting your pop and going straight up and you should have plenty of hang time to land some handle pass inverts. good luck

i agree with LakeIolaLuke, you are not waiting for the peak/pop, you just edge in hard and throw without popping. also looks like you are riding a short rope length, if you want bigger air and with the way you edge you want a rope 10-15 ft. longer not sure what length you are riding but it looks like my comfort zone where the wake up and wake down is key (bad knees and back)

Atrain, keep up the good riding

I actaully have been trying to ride farther back, but it seems like with my X-2 im going insanly fast to get a decent wake that far back and it washes out alittle. I posted to try to get some tips on weighting my boat, so maybe taking some weight out of the bow will help the wake farther back like your saying. As for those HS 3's and TS 5's my HS 3's are down, i was getting that grab down for the vid, and those toe 5's i learned this past season so im workin on them so that next seasons vid will be sick... i just need some mobes damit! thnx for the input, im diggin the ideas
