Im starting to get decent at jumping wake to wake but im finding that alot of the time the front of my board faces up toward the sky when i jump. This of course leads to crappy crashes and need to fix this problem. Am i not centering my weight properly or something? I can post a video eventually. |

Video would help a lot, but it sounds like you have all your weight on your back foot. Ideally you want 50/50 weight distribution. _________________ "It's just water..not concrete or dirt..just throw it!! |

Sounds like Ps205Rider is on the right track. Usually you're either all back foot or you are bending the front knee a lot more than the back. Even balance should fix it. _________________

Maybe make sure to have the handle at your front hip when leaving the wake as well _________________ Ride or Die |

Yea was watching some of the videos again and it does look like a combo of those things. Just inconsistent gotta work on good habits I guess. Hopefully can ride this week and work on it. |
