701 Backie Chan Flips

[lawmaster891]

Finally landed some flips on my backie chan. It has a stock 62t/61x 701 with a b pipe and head. Took me 2 weekends of trying but I finally landed one off a boat wake.

The end of the vid shows the one I landed but my lanyard popped out and another I landed and rode out

Do you have an intake grate?

and congrats! Your first few are about where i am stuck at. Guess I need to start putting my go pro on my helmet.

No intake grate on mine. A lot of it was for me to get the correct form. Practicing the 180 to flips really helped me to get the bars into my chest and throw my head back.

My back and knees hurt just watching that. Way to keep at it! Good job.

Why no intake grate? Nice attempts, glad you finally got it around!

I don't use an intake grate either. It hooks up too good with one, you can carve that thing like crazy but to get it to slide any you need to take it off.

Nice looking ski. Not a big fan of the looks of a chan but im starting to come around. Im kinda thinking about buying one now rather than a SF. Yours looks sick with that rrp pole. Have any pictures you can post up? Also, Is the gel coat on the bottom of your hull chipped off? thought i saw that part way through the video as you were flipping the ski back upright...Good work bro!

 

[lawmaster891]

Ill try and get some pics up later. Yeah the bottom has cracks all over that go through the hull. I am getting a replacement though

Builder is standing by his product and fixing for you? Good customer service like that makes me want to go that way, plus he is only a few hours away so no shipping cost :woot:

nice to see the progression in just 1 day

You're an animal. I like how u keep going for it.

 

[lawmaster891]

Thanks guys, can't wait go out this weekend and work on them some more. Have to patch my hull first lol. Its crazy how when you finally land something like that it turns your drive in the sport on that much more

Keep up the hard work, you'll get all the way around eventually.

Honestly, watching how great ur progression was in just one day has given me new hope. I started flipping in mid July and like I said I'm stuck at the first few. Getting to between 4-6 on the clock. I have plenty of height just not the rotation. Ill post up some video soon. So to keep your thread on topic: thanks for giving me hope and keep posting video

Job well done!...you're flipping NUTZ!

 

[swapmeet]

Yep, Tyler is out there making me look bad lol! Good work man, I need to cut my plate and work on my form. I guess I need to yank my intake grate too. That's what the cool kids are doing.

Hit the first wake right behind the boat (the white part) you will flip every time!

 

[lawmaster891]

Thanks swap. You can try my ride plate if you want before you cut yours. Yeah id also try it with the intake grate off. I forgot to try your grate on mine to see how it does

I will be sure to keep posting as I progress. pulling those bars to my chest you can instantly feel the ski rotate faster. Some tips I was told were to rotate with the ski, dont be dead weight. As you leave the water kick your feet forward to help as well. bars in the chest with head back and you should be golden. Im no expert but these tips helped me out a lot. Another thing that took getting used to was the force of the boat wake as compared to trying it on a setup wake.
