I’m new to this whole freestyle ski thing I have a gen 1 bob and was wondering what was the best thing / to use to get the nose down on the ski any Suggestions would be greatly appreciated thank you

Noise or nose? To get the nose down you need to ride more and keep practicing. You can also shorten the pole to get your weight more forward.

The nose sorry stupid talk to text lol I have the pole in as much as possible it’s a small set up for me I think

If you have a small fuel tank, a larger one such as a cold fusion or superjet may help and obviously get you more ride time. As quinc said practice will help a lot but shortening the pole will have a pretty good effect but depending on how you ride (cruising, freestyle, etc.) you may wanna cut them a little bit at a time so that it wont kill your body. Obviously for cruising you’d want a longer pole which is more comfortable but raises the nose. You can also try static trim pointed downwards. Let me say this first - I’m not 100% positive that this is possible and it may decrease overall performance but is worth checking out as a last resort. The bob hulls especially gen 1 have a big hump at the front-bottom of the hull for easy freestyle maneuvers which keeps the nose up and also has the negative effect of keeping the ski downwards/sideways in corners which takes practice to learn. Ive never ridden a bob so idk how they ride but I’d say you just need tray time and possibly shorter pole length. AM hulls are definitely much different than other skis

It's probably the wrong ski if you want the nose down.

If your new to stand ups your probably riding way too far back. Ride with the pole right in your gut And go faster. Beyond that I suppose longer ride plate. However The bob “backflip on budget” gen 1 wasn’t build for speed. Personally never rode one but remember when they came out and reading about their wishy/washy handling characteristics and how they would occasionally dart off in a random direction unexpectedly. That said I’d just enjoy it for what it is, still a fun unit.

I guess I’m going to ride more and get more practice in thank you all for the help I will let y’all now how it goss

Find a cheapish sn to ride when you don't want to try to flip. Didnt BOB hull mean backflip on budget?

I’m not trying to ride long distance lol it’s just straight up and down so it makes it hard to whip it around when trying a trick or making a wake
