flat water BR

[SJBrit]

Keep your weight forward and commit! The last part is crucial: if you go at it half a$$ed, then you'll do half a roll!

Maybe I'm just lazy a flatwater barrel roll seems like a lot of work. I give all you guys props, especially Ross who learned em on a stocker fx1, for learning how to do flatwater BR's. I hardly made it half way around on the few times i attempted it

Ok ill chime in too... It was a real scary thought to flip that ski around in the air and not know how im gonna land, and that by itself kept me thinking and thinking... untill the first time i attempted the BR i said fcuk it and just went for it without thinking... i landed upside down.. inverted sub. Good! Felt like someone slapped me hard on the back of my head and i was seeing stars in mid day heh... So from there i kept doing the same thing and now im comfy landing upside down and it aint that scary anymore.
Now i know im not giving it my 100% which is good cuz i know what i need to do to complete it.
Today i finally perfected my setup wake and im loving it.
This weekend im going all out.. and hopefully will post and say i did it:biggrin: :headbang:

Thanks for the vid!!!

Plan to consult it next time I hit the river! (with my new 5mm):biggrin:

 

[jetskier79]

I can't understand what would get in the way of trying a flatwater barrel roll. What's the worst thing that can happen?

 

[wildman326]

Tear your rotator cuff up. Jack yourself in the face with 300 lb. sucker punch.

As a matter of fact one time I came back from trying barrel rolls and my wife was pregnant. That's how purvasive just trying can make your sperm. I knocked her up from the lake.

That's all I've endured so far . . . but it was worth it.

Hahaha! Damn - what about all those girls on the beach? :bigeyes:

 

[wildman326]

They may be prego also . . . :biggrin:

Superman, DO NOT attempt to roll without footholds of some sort. The footholds keep you in contact with the ski when it is upside down over you as well as allowing you to lift the back end up and around. Consider them a safety feature. Just practice making the wake and getting back to the wake before it dissipates.
WILDMAN, that ski (in the vid) had a 5mm Team Scream stroker in it at the time - AWESOME power. I predict you will love yours.
SLUT, ask Steve (WF) or Stoyer or Bogey to watch you / advise you at Lanier. It also helps to videotape to see what you do wrong.
Wish I could make Lanier to demonstrate, but maybe next event if surgery goes well.

Tim

 

[Superman]

thanks tim,

i will do so, practice wakes for a few weeks, then try the barrel rolls once those footholds are in

Any guesses who this is?

He's on a limited 650 SJ from what I remember.

That BR was :lame: :frown: :frown: :biggrin: Glad I don't do them without a setup wake anymore.

It was a little more than limited but not much. 650 motor, bored to 701, very mild porting, B-Pipe, 195 - 200 lbs of compression, single 44 carb, Solas J prop, Westcoast scoop grate and standard length AC pole. Steering, pump, ignition and pretty much everything else was stock.

But your point and slut's point is right on. You can BR almost any standup if you have good technique.

:aargh4: F*#& that. If there isn't any surf, you'll be doing flatwater rolls by the time you leave Texas, biatch. :woot: :woot:

Then you can go down to Tampa and show them how it's done.
