|
|
Here are a few pics from today's session after school. It was choppy until we had to leave but we still got some pics.
I have no clue why my arm is doing that on the three! Any tips/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to post questions or comments! _________________ Centurion Elite-V Air Warrior |

If you pull the handle w/ 1 hand, your lead hand tends to have a mind of its own.
Think about pulling the handle to your rear hip w/ BOTH HANDS, and think about keeping your front hand close to your waist when you go to reach for the handle pass.
Nice pics, by the way. Awesome quality on that first pic. _________________ my demo reel

I don't have any tips or suggestions but just a comment on the pics. First off your boat looks good and the jumps look pretty cool. I like the 2nd jump (3rd pic)... _________________ www.Tigeowners.com

| Haha, Levi. I was looking at the pictures and thinking "d*mn that spot looks familiar, where in the world is that??", then I looked up and saw your from Stanwood. We have a cabin at Indian Beach out on Camano. I didn't think there was much of a riding scene up in the Stanwood/Camano area. I was just up there last weekend, and we drove around the island for like four hours and didn't see anything wake related. It looks like Big Lake has some pretty good water though. |

What to do with your lead hand: Grab the board.  |

Looks like you're probably spinning too early off the wake. If you wait for your pop and pull the handle with two hands (as suggested above), that should get you on axis and on track.
Or, maybe you're just checking your antiperspirant. I've had people tell me that "smelling your pit" is key to landing b/s 180's. Don't think it works for f/s 3's, though! |

Thanks for all the positive comments guys! I'm going out today to put some of those tips to use. Oh, BTW the camera is an old Canon G1 3.3 mp. _________________ Centurion Elite-V Air Warrior |

| Levi_S, were your shots taken on Big Lake? It almost looks like Lake Sammish or Lake Whatcom up in Bellingham. |

Levi,
Do you ever come up to Whatcom or Samish? If you do let me know I can give you a pull or be a third. _________________ Got Spelling? |
