Hey guys, I'm new to wakeboarding, but I've been involved in watersports since I was four so I'm not an idiot, but I need some experienced advice and intel. Ok I guess my first question would be what exactly is an ollie? Were can I find a pic or vid of this. Then, I'm really having trouble getting good pop. I've tried everything and I can't get alotta air. My boat makes nearly a 2 ft wake, I'm riding a LF Bonifay 136, I've been keeping my legs almost straight but slightly bent, I'm riding outside the wake at least 20 ft if not more, I'm trying to keep the rope as tight as possible, but....I can't get a good pop. The highest I've gotten is 4 ft and it was really an accident. Usually I go up a little, but the nose of the board is way in the air, and the tail is draggin only a few inches off the water. So what do I need to do? Also can someone explain in detail what exactly edging is? I mean I understand but I dont think I'm doin it right. Oh, and what is "loading the line"? What does all that mean? Thanx so much guys!

Keep your weight evenly distributed on each foot.

An ollie is when your in the flats (usually) and you just.. jump basically.
Like in skateboarding.. Look it up on youtube.com (the site isn't working for me right now) Just type in wakeboarding at the top, its at the beginning of one of the videos... Sorry I couldn't get it for ya.

Follow the Progressive Edging help. I didn't think it worked, so I tried a jump with and a jump without the edging and it was a major improvement
