I've been trying to learn wake 2 wake jumps and can't wait to go riding again to practice them, but i was curious to see how much using a ski rope will affect me, I've been using a ski rope / handle and can air the wake and stuff but is this slowing me down? It doesn't seem like it is but ive never used a wakeboard handle so i wouldn't no _________________ it puts the joe dirt in the whole

it will just take away some of the tension that you have generated by your edge is all ... u lose some hieght but u can still go w2w with it .. I did for the first few months that I rode untill I dropped about 150 on a new handle and rope _________________ "Worrying is like a rocking chair ... gives you something to do but it doesnt get you any where" Van Wilder

The ski rope is no good. As you cut into the wake you totally stretch out the rope. As you release from the wake BOING....the rope acts like a bungee cord and pulls you forward. It hurts your control and makes everything harder to do. _________________ Calabria Boats Rule!
