i need to know if i am jumping properly, i think my legs are too bent. am i right?

your going to want bindings with more heel and ankle support to really be able to edge well, and stand tall as you go up the wake, remembering to edge all the way up

Its hard to tell because you are already in the air. You want to keep your legs straight when you hit the wake. you can bend them all you want in the air, just when you hit the wake keep them straight. 89skier posted a great pic of Wakebrad hitting the wake w/ his legs perfectly straight, I tried to find it, but I couldn't.

Bindings dont look mounted right. Looks like you arent centered.

Bowen, Here's that pic...

It's hard to tell what you're doing from that frame because what you're doing before the wake and as you hit the wake are where you determine what someone needs to do. I would study the "progressive edge." Here's the wb.com trick tips for it:

no problem, man. Are you going to be back for the summer?

Bowen · Posted: Jan 25, 2005 1:08 pm Post subject:

its still in the air. I have decided that I want to try and get an old Ski Nautique 2001 and fix it up over the summer, so in that case, yes I will be back. There is still a chance I might stay here though. I need to start job searching b/c I don't want to work at Vaught again. Know of any well paid internships available?

what kind of internship are you looking for. Business, film, or anything?

That's awesome you're going to try to redo a 2001. That should be a lot of fun. I'd love to help out also.

I think u need to start wearing a big boy life jacket, it may just make u jump higher.
