I've read all the forums possible on hellside backrolls, but i just dont have the balls to roll. Can someone give me a step-by-step walkthrough of how my body should be positioned for each part of the trick? I ride regular and have been riding for ~7 years, landing my first HS wake jump like 2 years ago. lmao 4.5 of the 7 were behind a pontoon boat. thanks. I ride behind a 2000 Super Air Nautique now.

advice i can give is postition the body soyou cut into the wake hard and fast, as your going off the wake put some wieght on the back brining the front up, and you should be able to just go. Its hard thing to teach because most of the adivice is lean back. thats what i got and i was al WTF about it, i went out and tried it and came back crooked but i tried it, now it comes so easy now that its like jumping the wake.

thanks. I'll try it on Fri. do I need a set hard ass edge or a progressive edge?

either way can work, for me, i cut wide and take a long progressive edge. make sure you don't let up when you get near the wake edge all the way through the wake
