Your board control on the HS wake jump looks pretty good. Do some searchs on progressive edge. You cut too hard WAY outside the wake, then let off your edge when you hit the trough. Drift back toward the wake at first then start to dig. Your maximum edge should be at the top of wake.

Find the thread "Getting more pop" and read Rocket's posts...they'll help you alot. I think you'll be jumping W2W after one or two more sessions just cuz you have good board control as long as you can start working on your progressive edge.

I'd maybe think of taking 5 feet off the rope to start out. It will help you learn your wake to wake jumps.
