Go faster
Squat of the back before take off
After take off, kick your legs out
Stand straight up
Pull on the pole
Violently throw your head/upper body back

dont worry your not alone. i tried some this weekend and mine was just as ugly or uglier haha.

your doing the same thing wrong as me. realying to much on power and to little on technique.
i was definatly to commited to go upside down that i didnt do any work but go upside down.

You are getting into the setup wake really nicely. Thats prob the most important part and the hardest to be taught. You just need more practice. I see your head want to go forward over the pole before you look back and that will kill your rotation. Be confident and let your body follow where your eyes are looking. Focus on getting the nose pointed back at the water. 6 oclock is all you need. Dont over think it.

heres my update....lol

Are those the "unbreakable" Rhass mounts?

 

[chips]

i dont remember what they were called, but yea supposedly unbreakable...Whats everyone running for motor mounts??

 

[slinden]

They look like the Rhass mounts. Im pretty sure he warranties them

 

[Bobert540]

He will warranty them, he seems like a reasonable guy.

I have 2 couch mounts and 2 regular mounts and i have landed upside down from pretty high and 90% of my barrel rolls are fails and still holding up great.

 

[ADDict]

Definitely Rhass mounts. I bet those guys are regretting selling those with that warranty. Cold fusion for the win.

Cold Fusion

Are they breaking a lot? I have them, now you have me worried.

 

[hornedogg79]

looks like the first batch Rhass made. I think he has upgraded the urethane formula twice since then. I don't think he ever marketed them as "unbreakable." You just made that up. Holla at him chips, he'll take care of ya. Cold Fusion mounts are great too. Hardly in the same $ category though.

 

[chips]

I sent him an email with that picture. Hopefully he will help out.

^ I would hope so, if not couch mounts ftw. Nice attempts on the backies though
