 |

Well, I finally did it. Went out this weekend and started jumping the wake behind the waverunner and thought to my self....I wonder if I can get a grab in......so I tried Indy...First time I didn't fully grab the board...second time I grabbed but the handle slipped out of my hands...third time..success  I'm stoked  Here's a picture of one, this one was taken just as I was letting go.

good stuff , keep it up. get behind a boat and you can stick with it a ton longer.

yeah man. i learned behind a waverunner too. and can go w2w behind it, have tried grabs a few times, but its such a quick thing it isnt that fun.
behind the boat, is SOOO much bigger, that i still need to get comfortable w2w before i start trying grabs behind it. |

Pop, pull, grab.
Wait until you have the pop, ge the handle in, pull the board up and grab. Try a front-hand grab without the handle close in and it will be .... bad.
Disclamier: I can only do Indy, Mute, Tail, Slob, Nose and Method. Seatbelt is the coolest but I am too fat an too inflexible to get it. |
