you have to use a progressive edge as your approaching the wake, start your cut way outside the wake. the idea is that you cut harder and harder coming into the wake, all the way through the wake standing tall at the crest to get maximum pop.

I usually spring a little bit at the top of the wake, but most of it is in the speed of the cut, and how big your balls are.

ckligor, You pimp your picture thread out man... Good stuff though. I think everyone should see that. Because, with all the faulty information, ie trying to hop, that will show them what exactly a "hop" will do.

I dont think I ever told you that the post was good!
