O.K., I tried the search first, and I may not know how to use it correctly b/c a million topics came up and none of them had to do with my question...so I'm posting here in the New-B.
I am having trouble keeping my center of gravity on wake to wake jumps, I've really been concentrating on my progressive edge, standing tall at the top of the wake, and keeping the handle at my waist, I'm getting great pop/height, but once I'm airborn I can't seem to stay stable...does this just come with practice or are there any tips that could help a sista' out... _________________ ***Rockstar Without A Guitar*** |

| Dont look down at the water! Where you look your body goes. That sounds to be whats throwin you off, either that or your to heavy on either the front or back foot! |

When you hit the wake, pop by pushing the handle down, and standing tall. Keep the handle waist high...this will keep you on balance. _________________ UCSB Waterski Team |
