Not trying to make excuses, but just state facts: his hull is at least 20 lbs lighter than mine, he's got dual carbs, t cases, a mag pump, and a package so tuned I bet it hits harder than many much bigger motors. Plus he already knew how to flip like a pro.
I'll eventually get it, it's just gonna be hard.

Im just trying to help you. Your hull isn't much heavier than his. That's a 140mm pump. I was trying to show how they drive up the wake instead of their ass hitting the water before the boat goes air borne. Im done with this saga. Best of luck by yourself.
I appreciate the advice. Everything about his form is different than what I've been told, that's why I question it working for my setup and experience. He doesn't lean way back when he's about to go up, and he doesn't tuck either, he's extended. When I first started setup wakes I tried that and got height but 1/2 rotation and then splat..

Rosie, everybody does things differently. I see what Robby (Capt Waterlogged) is saying, Your hitting your setup wave and trying to flip as soon as you hit it. You need to power up it, use the wave for lift, not just something to get your rotation started. There is alot that has to be done in a very quick short time to get height and rotation. If your slow to start your rotation you splat, if you are slow hitting the wave and try and rotate you get no height. But arguing back when people that can flip are giving you advice is a sure fire way to not progress. People that know what they are seeing can see something that you do not see. You are riding a shorter hull than Peter Waldren was on with the same size motor. Guess what, He bought Jetfiends RokR a few months back. Basically the same thing as your Rip. (Yes, there are differences) He put in a 62T based motor and guess what, He said flipping it was so stinking easy. Said it almost flipped itself.
Listen to some of the advice and apply it. Somethings may not work for you, but just maybe, taking bits and pieces you may can make it work for you.

Notes taken! I get easily frustrated when I can't figure something out. Im so close yet so far away to plate to plate.

Have you ever thought about adopting kids? I think you could make a great father figure for today's misguided youth.
Just giving you a hard time BK.

I tried to roll from 2003 all the way until 2006. I had such bad habits from doing nose stabs for so long, I just could not shake them. I was even talking to Bogart once and he told me he did not know how to Nose Stab, He just learned rolls. Then one day in late August I started getting them. I do not know what I did differently. But after that I just got it. But, Now my nose stabs suck. It will be one of those things where something will just go "Click"

Brave man riding with snow on the shore! the best advice anyone ever gave me when I was learning to flip was to slow down on my set up wake (if you hit it slower you will go up as appose to travelling forward) and also those three words we all love to hear, Bars to chest! good luck man you're smashing it!

His Stock went up with this.......... Nobody can say Rosepalm is not dedicated.
Well, there's no video proof. But @chadman154 and @Tommygunz and @SkiNick can vouch for me..
I was working on setup wake flips and while waiting for the water to settle on one side if the pond I went to try a hop to flip.. And!!! I made it all the way around and rode it out! It wasn't much height, but I flipped

took me half a summer just to flip a good cruiser wake, and the other half to finally flat water flip, really helps if you pop the nose way up high and dig into the wake hard and get down super low as the nose is coming back up, as soon as you feel the the back end leaving the wake snap your head back and try to extend your legs and pull the bars in, thats what got me around my first time, ill admit i need to improve height but if your on a mission to get all the way around this should do it!
