Hey I cant jump wake to wake hs and ts really well. But i find grabbing a ts jump is extremely difficult, cant get down there or if i do it throws me way off. Any tips to help grabs on my ts jumps?

I meant to say that I CAN jump wake to wake TS really well. I can land 5-8 feet outside the other wake. But cant grab. Any help.

Make sure you grab with your bak hand not your front. Grabbin with the front will throw you off axis

also, don't bend over to grab the board. Pull your knees up, bring the board to your hand...

Take your TS jumps W2W instead of going into the flats so you stay in control and you might have a better chance at grabbing the board.

TS Indy grab should be the first one to try, then change it up from there.

Partyb, are all of you're posts that useless? What was the point of saying "What nathan said"?

toeside grabs are tough b/c its hard to have any style at all until you can really float them. I know I suck at toeside grabs. Well I should say I suck at actually pulling down and stomping the good ones, ..and ouch.

I have been tweaking lots of toeside grabs just dropping inside/out off the hs wake, its a good way to get the motions down, then take it w2w. And don't let go of the handle until AFTER you pop, doing that can feel natural but its not healthy.

numbfoot - picking fights on the internet is not much better than a useless post

numbnuts, the point of my post was to second the opinion of another poster, therefore adding credence to his opinion. Like when you talk to a doctor, you should always get a second opinion. I was hoping that the original poster would then take the advice that more then one person had provided.

What was the point of your post? To be argumentative, disruptive, and negative? Please do a search and find the thread entitled "advice for newbies."

start in the middle of the wake and hten cut to the other side out of the wake toe side and jump off of the lip of the wake into the trough, throw alittle grab in there, just to get the feel of it, then work up to one wake ts grabs, then to w2s ts grabs
