Well, its my birthday, so i get to go out on the lake later today Very Happy

(damn you work!)

And i was wondering, would it be easier or harder to do a backroll off a D-Up?

Pros-Cons?

Thanks (i looked around but didnt see any post about Backroll D-ups)

i got mine down yesterday...i lean back on my back heel and i get thrown around perfectly...off the double up most people would over rotate i think and faceplant or something.. i wouldnt do it unless you have your regular ones dialed thats my two cents

Much harder.. You get popped up and pushed out hard.. You gotta have em dialed wake to wake first for sure.. You can even do them off the inside of the wake and off rollers.. Youve really gotta back off on the roll off the dUP since your gonna be in the air for so much longer.. Itll be enough work timing the dUP without having to worry bout a new flip aswell..

Yup, d-up's throw you all kinda crazy. I mean unless you have d-ups super dialed, stick to the wake.
