flatwater flip 701?

[kawirydr44]

So this weekend i went out and tried my first flatwater flip and with NO flip experence beside one flip off a tug wake, i actually didnt come up as short as i thought.... dont get me wrong i tried about 3 or 4 times and didnt even come close to ridin away but im running a 701 with all bolt ons and a type 9 i have a wdk REV hull and x metal trim. I got the first one on vidoe and i noticed soo many things i can improve on so dont quote me on it but im pretty sure a 701 will flatwater flip..... so im wondering if anyone has done it? if so any vids?!? also let me know what you think i can work on to rotate faster, i know my pre hop needs to be wayy bigger

Dammit man that was farther than I expected to see. Good job. What is the weight on that hull/ski?

 

[Waternut]

Yeah I was expecting a pure back flop. Do you have total loss? If not, I bet that would push you that last little bit.

 

[Big Kahuna]

great job.

Where you hit is about the limit of rotation with your motor size. but keep it up, who knows where you may end up!

 

[steve-uk]

wow great attempt...... at least you have the ball$ to try!

 

[eastbay]

pretty sweet! really a type 9??? you must be running TL an high comp? i want to go with the dry pipe on my new ski as well i need to check your combo out!

you will get it! cut that hull up!

what is it -2?

 

[Foximus]

Not bad.... that is my problem, I always use all my concentration about making the perfect setup wave (which I can never really time very well) and totally forget about hopping before hand.

take the ski to a point were your actually Not rotating much at all when you think about it...
what i learned from a loose grip (ghost rider backy) get the ski vertical off the wake you then have another 180 degree's to go to get the nose in

thanks guys! my current set up its a WDK Hull -2 im runnning a 701 with
ADA head
msd inhanser
flywheel and lightweight cupplers
x-metal trim
and a Type 9
The ski weight 268 ready to ride before the trim.

thanks for all the advice guys im thinkin some more work on timing my setup and getting the pre hop who know i may be able to nose one in someday...

I still vote to sell the lightweight flywheel and enhancer. Once you do, you'll have enough to buy a decent used total loss setup and you'll be nosing them in on the first day.

damn total loss really makes that big of a difference???
my motor is pretty worn has had a good two season of a ton of riding so im gunn bored to 83mm and port hopefully thatll help, but honestly now im kinda determained to do it with a 701..... i may have to look into total loss

i nose them in on flat water allday with a 760 big bore from lpw on a stock hull with trim but it took 6 months of practice and 2 sets of motor mounts .

Thats what i like to hear! yes a 760 but a stock hull..... thats legit man. is your hull cut at all?

I know this is a bit off topic, but your ski soudns dirty! What are you running for a pipe and water box?

Yes it really does make that much of a difference. Do a few searches, there are tons of threads on it and tons of people that won't ride anything else. If you're a surf guy, it isn't as important but it makes a world of difference on flatwater. Worth every hour and dollar I've had to put into it.

Im not sure if dirty is a bad or good thing haha but im running a type-9 dry pipe with an old 550 style resonator, yes its very loud...

 

[junkyardj]

thats it im buyin steve-uk's rev hull!! seriously great job man! and people say dry pipes suck

dude that was soooooo close.....WOW....get the spin lil faster and ur golden....not that i have any idea how to on a ski....I was a very good diver in school.....get the spin faster with some sort of a lil tuck.....MAYBE???
I dont know

but NICE bro....

i need trim

 

[kawirydr44]

yeah i agree my rotation is sooo slow. im thinkin a steaper lip and more of a pre hop should get me spinnin a little faster. well find out as soon as i figure out what wrong with my starter.
