Wish the video was better quality so we could try to give you some pointers. All I have to say is good job, now move the rope 10 feet farther back and do it again:)

how did you do that when its only your 4th time? I've only been twice and fail to get out from behind the boat. ):

He did it because he's riding about a 45 foot rope. He's jumping at the smallest point of the wake that he can. As I said in my previous post he should move the rope back at least 10 feet then have another go at it.

Not trying to take the pride away from you wakeboard hack. We all want to see you succeed and have fun doing it.

You want the rope so that were you jump, the wake is clean without all the white and foam.

I know cheesewizz, i just gotta break through that scared barrier and go at it..I just freak out and get all unbalanced when i try to go in at it..Going out tonight and I will try doing full runs with just going toe side...Great tips to every too for the rope comments..it seemed I was launching way to far out in the flats for some reason. Now I know why.
