ok so i was feeling pretty good about how I was riding so I decided, eh what the hell, I can do a standing tuck, why couldn't I do a flip off a wake? Well first off, I wanna say holy s#it its a lot harder than I thought, but I was getting about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way around. I was soooooo stoked just to try it, and I am pretty sure I know what I am doing wrong. My sister said that I was still holding onto the handle with both hands and it was up above my head a little (i am used to setting for standing tucks Embarassed

) But man I am soooooooo pumped. I will try to either have someone take a sequence or film me next time I go out so you guys can critique me. Just thought I'd spread the stoke! Very Happy

westcoast_canadian, This is only my 2nd season riding, and I consider my self more on the border of beginner-intermediate, I can do w2w grabbed 180's and stuff. But yeah I am super stoked!!

Unfortunately, Im not going to be able to ride today, but it thinking back on it, it was hard for me to let go with my back hand because my edge would get to slow, even though I know I am supposed to totally stop edging near the wake. I may try a backroll too and see which is easier for me...

westcoast canadian, I like to consider myself a theorist. I know how to do pretty much everything, its just a matter or acually doing it.
