Nice, keep it up

Hell yeah, props for commiting to the roll (and eating it). I have zero feedback cause I haven't even tried a roll yet but good stuff. Thanks for sharing.

Holy porpoising batman! Keep trying buddy am in the same boat

 

[sxipro02]

When I watch the vid it looks like im in slow motion lol. I'll post my flat water attempt later, it was actualy better

X2 on the porposing. WOW.

as for the roll and stap attempts. Try dropping into the wake at an angle with the wave to the side your going to roll or stab and using the entire face of the wave, also for the stab look at the bondline about where the pole mounts all the way through the trick. For the roll look over the bondline about where the back of the hood is and keep the pole low.

Hope this helps.
Do you have an aftermarket prop and intake on that boat, it seems to be loosing hook up really bad?

 

[sxipro02]

Thanks for the tips. It does have a 9/17 R&D grate and all the other goodies. I was using my stock d-cut plate at the time and the water was extremely rough.

Pole low, weight forward, make sure you slam the bars against the stop at the same time you grab a hand full of throttle. As someone else mentioned...a little more angle approaching the wave.

 

[sxipro02]

Thanks for the input guys, I need all the help I can get.

Good advice fellas. I am trying some stabs today, from what I gather keep low and forward while turning hard at wot

Just make sure you aren't going WOT riding into the trick!

Ideally you want the sensation that the boat is spinning around your body. Most people try to muscle their body around in a circle......that probably doesn't make sense.

I'm no pro but I found stabs are all about commiting. I just act like I'm doing a sub but with the bars cranked while going up the face of the wave.

Wear a helmet too. chances are your gunna eat it alot when learning. the more you land on your head the better chances of blowin out your ear drum...

+1 for that man. I just have to overcome fear of eating the pole and i'm good. Got some decent one's off 2ft swells yesterday

Oh and I never wear a helmet :icon16:

I will show you how to do them with no wake.
