Freestyle BOB Backlip Attemts

So i finally got some video of me today attempting backflips on my gen 2 BOB. I cant seem to get around that last little bit. the last few times i have tried backflips this is what happens everytime. And its driving me crazy. My setup is dasa 850cc mikuni 44 carbs. factory b pipe, lighten flywheel, stock electronics, stock waterbox, stock pump with skat prop pitched by art at jetworks and x-metal trim. I feel like i need more height and thrust. any advice anyone?

Thank gawd you have stock electronics, if that was total loss your motor would be done. That thing is bouncing off the rev-limiter, let off the gas.

You're pretty much there man! Just some practice and you'll be landing them plate to plate real soon. If anything, I would try not going so far out before turning around to the wake, try shortening that distance, you might be losing too much wake in that time.

But other than that, it all looks really good.

Looks good man! Like Lil D said try turning sooner to catch setup wake earlier and to me it looks like your not pulling back enough. Try to really extend your arms and shoulders and pull like hell and let your head lead you in the rotation. When you come off the wake try to snap your head back to lead you in the rotation.

These are things that help me learn to flip. Hope they help. And just practice practice practice ......
 
Looks good man!!! Keep trucking you'll get there soon. I would say squat more when launching off your wake and extend your legs and keep your head looking for the water. I had the hardest time with that. But your body always follows .
