| yeah, ts wake jumps can be tricky to learn. Take a good hard progressive edge in, keeping the handle in close to your leading hip. Thats the most important part. As long as you have the edge and the pop, you will make it across the wake. And take what Vampyre said into consideration, it does make it a LOT easier. |

| Just think of it like a kind of reversed heelside wake jump because essentially you are facing the opposite direction. You have to remember to keep the handle to your leading hip and almost to the back of your hip. Stand tall against the pull of the rope and you really dont need to bend your knees. Use this position to lean against the pull and keep this postion into and up the wake. When your in the air your body will want to untwist but resist this and land over your toes. Practice makes perfect |
