Custom/Hybrid Finished my BOB Gen 1

[wanderer1]

Good for you. Pretty impressive doing it yourself. Have a great time with it

 

[Owen18]

Hahah Thanks, I like it too
Alright, I think the best thing to start with is a slide to flip, seems easier and less scary at first

[SkiDiggity]

so no trim and trying flat water back flip? how do you propose to get the nose to come around?

 

[Matt_E]

You don't need trim for a flat water flip with the right boat and technique

 

[dirtnut99]

Just don't protect your helmet with your hand if the ski leaves you in the water while flipping..... Lol sorry Matt.. I couldn't resist..

I think I will be fine for flips without trim at the moment because Im so much lighter right?
We'll see, and Ill try to remember that dirtnut99

 

[Matt_E]

Trim buys you faster rotation at the expense of height.
Flips without trim are bigger, but may need more input. Doesn't have a whole lot to do with rider weight (except that a lighter rider will need less motor)

 

[Owen18]

Ahh alright, which I do have only a limited 760 in there so I need my weight compromise also

 

[SkiDiggity]

can't wait to see video!! good luck out there!

 

[rubbertoe]

ahh young jedi ! may the force be with you !

 

[Owen18]

Thanks bud, love the ski already and some videos coming soon
