I wore a helmet through 100ish flops and flips. Only one time did it ever almost be needed because I slipped out of the holds and went forward. I love it without a helmet...so free. But def worth the investment of saving your neck! That one time is all is takes to turn your day to poop

You're a lucky one then! I guess flips are different then rolls and inverted stabs tho.. . A helmet has saved me plenty of times from failed inverts

I haven't tried any rolls yet..well one, got the wind knocked out of me because I was just trying to get the first quarter of the roll down and straight to the stomach the water came haha. I will start rolls soon, after flips and ill do it the same way. 25% at a time. Gets me over my fears and learn everything at a slow pace. I like it that way, motor mounts think differently hahah

Haha when I first started learning rolls I had that happen many times... It definitely hurts Haha. IMO you should start by over rotating nose stabs and that'll ease you into rolling.
Lol I believe it!! I still have yet to break a motor mount. Blows my mind that I haven't..

Did you put the versiplugs in or did the previous guy? I was wondering if they're a direct bolt on or some modifying was needed. I don't want to run the duckbills it comes with.

Did you hit bottom

Exit: now it looks more like a sideways break, not form hitting the bottom. That bites

I did hit the back of the ski on bottom once but it was not hard at all, who knows maybe that put a crack in it and my leg snapped off the rest of the nozzle
