okay im a fairly new begginer an i fell like im improving but their are some questions i dont know the answeres to here we go
when you begin to make your cut to jump the wake do you bend your knees if so how much and when(i know when and how to stand up), i can get good height but lack distance(i can jump w2w but im very inconsistent)
what is a sideslide and how do you do it( i know it is a surface trick. and im thinking that it is when the board slides sideways, but i cant do that. it might be because of my fins they r pretty big
also i kneed some help on grabbing the board every time a let go with my back hand and jump da wake i dont have any controll and usualy come down pretty hard
how do you do a bunny hop? i can get about 1 foot by just jumping but do you like do it far outside the wake and lean against the rope or something like that
also i dont know if i am doing alright are im behind ive been wakeboarding for a almost a month now and i can jump w2w heelside and do a 180, and i can do a surface 180 if i slow down to like 16mph and lipslides
sorry to put alot of stuff into my post and i know there is some info out their related to some of this but i did not answere my questions
o yah im wanting to get a pylon or a tower i realy dont care much about performance( im realy focousing on the price) is a tower worth 800$ compared to 200$ on a pylon |

when you cut towards the wake and build up a progressive edge. u should b at youtr hardest edge when you get to the wake. make sure u stay on your edge, it'll give u the pop. stand tall and keep the handle by your hips. when you go for a grab, bing the board to you, don't reach down (you could lose ur balance). and your progressing fine with your tricks. good luck!  _________________ Chip i'm all jacked up on mountain dew!! |

when you edge do you start leaning back and bending your knes at the very start of the edge cuz i turn a little bit and then starting leaning back, is that wrong cuz i cant get w2w _________________ i cant think of a smartass comment right now, so i'll get back to you... after the beep BOOP |

yes, bend your knees. Pretend your sitting in a lawnchair and lean back as hard as possible
what is a sideslide and how do you do it( i know it is a surface trick. and im thinking that it is when the board slides sideways, but i cant do that. it might be because of my fins they r pretty big
i dont think iv'e ever heard of that, although i think your talking about a boardslide where you turn your board parralle to the boat and you kinda slide along the water
also i kneed some help on grabbing the board every time a let go with my back hand and jump da wake i dont have any controll and usualy come down pretty hard
you might be holding your grab to long, make sure you grab the board (not slap, grab) and as fast as you can grab the rope again so you can pull yourself into the right posistion to land
how do you do a bunny hop? i can get about 1 foot by just jumping but do you like do it far outside the wake and lean against the rope or something like that
for a bunny hop, just lean or put all your weight on your back foot. When your in the air just lift your knees to get higher. Another way is to kick the board (literaly) with your back foot
also i dont know if i am doing alright are im behind ive been wakeboarding for a almost a month now and i can jump w2w heelside and do a 180, and i can do a surface 180 if i slow down to like 16mph and lipslides
i dont know whats going on there, you might not be getting the pop you need
o yah im wanting to get a pylon or a tower i realy dont care much about performance( im realy focousing on the price) is a tower worth 800$ compared to 200$ on a pylon
my bud just got a tower, it makes a big difference (i think) im not sure about pylons though i dont think iv'e tried one |

for the tower pylon choice, towers look cooler and can hold your boards but a pylon does the same thing in the riding department, id say a pylon if your short on cash cause they do pretty much the same thing _________________ You can sleep pole to pole and they can sleep hole to hole, but never sleep pole to hole- My crazy uncle |
