More....

 

[550/440]

How's the ride? Looks like a nice build!

 

[Owen18]

Rides awesome, so easy to throw around and fairly light! Just scared to flip it now, maybe once I get used to it.

 

[550/440]

Don't let it scare you, I've tried flipping my Q8, but I need a wake for sure, not just my own setup wake. Might make it with someone a little lighter than I am.

Hey owen- you were the one that rode my sj at surf slam huh? You had the saltwater blues? Good lookin BOB.

 

[Owen18]

Thanks I'm will get over it soon and give them a try.
Hey swanny! Man be waiting to hear from you thanks again bud! Moved from a 550 to a BOB pretty good eh? I should get your contact and we can meet at the events this year! Thanks again bud

Try the 180 slide to flip. It's a little more mellow than a setup wake flip.

Break the rear end loose, get it sliding in the other direction, let the ski sink down, an push down, pin it and throw back.

Might not pop out of the water that much but it will get you used to the flip feeling. I could nose them in doing them that way.

Remember to stay in the footholds!

Nice Owen!
Stoked for you kid! Rhip it up.

 

[jamesgunter68]

No trim?
Good luck with the flip

 

[Owen18]

Thanks, I think I will forsure, thats the way I will try them at first I think
Yeah I need t remember not to let the ski go :O

 

[Owen18]

Im 125lbs and 14, should be fine with a 760 and the mods I have I hope
I have a huge weight advantage I think

 

[Owen18]

Nice Owen!
Stoked for you kid! Rhip it up.

Thanks matt! You should try it at the events this year!

[Owen18]

Yeah, I noticed you edited the first post...haha.

 

[Snivilous]

Oh my god it's so cute!

 

[Owen18]

Not sure if that's mean or nice? Hahah

 

[Snivilous]

It's a +1

I don't know if I've ever seen pics of a gen 1, or knew I was looking at them. I really like how the hull looks...like a lot. And sitting on that trailer, makes you just wanna squeeze it!

Nice job on the build! Definitely impressive bracket you made too! Just be sure to stay with the ski when trying flips......It doesn't hurt at all then if you miss It hurts way more to miss a barrel roll than a flip too!!! And if you only weigh 125 then you have plenty of power in that ski! I'm 240 and just making flatwater flips with my Bob with my Powerhouse 798 4 mil stroker........but practice makes perfect
