i tryed this the last time i was at Rixen.. my board was thrown out infront of me and i busted my ass off the left side. its heelside for me. should i ollie halfway up the start of the ramp like my friend does? and where should my weight be when i hit it? on my back foot?

i'm also ging to try the wall in the backround of the photo next thurday. anybody have any tips?

ive already seen the learn to wakeboard relentless video on sliders.

Ollie up to the flat part and stay flat on your board. Wall ride is easy to hit just edge into it and slide on, the more comfortable you get the harder you can edge into it and go higher farther on the wall.

Don't lean back on the box like you would when you slide in the same position on the surface of the water. There is less resistance on the box, so you don't have to counter-balance that resistance as much.

Same for most obstacles really, if you fall one direction, adjust your balance slightly in the opposite direction
