Help with SUB

[IWannaYama]

Im having a hard time with doing a sub. I can bunny hop but I have no idea how to get the nose downwards. I always land flat. What am I doing wrong? heres a vid of all im able to do http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZTd...xt=C3aea66fUDOEgsToPDskLnRSnhCta3Xmf0cUA324DX

You need to just commit to it, lean forward and push down on the pole. Your prehop doesn't need to be much of an actual hop, your goal is just to load up the pump and transition your weight forward

Once you do you prehop transfer your weight forward

You need to just commit to it,

This is the key. You have to commit.

You'll know when it happens.

After your first suicide sub, you'll be back at square one unwilling to commit all over again.

Like everyone else says, it's the commit even though you feel like it's the totally wrong thing to do. I find I do a lot better ones/more consistent if after the hop I just lean forward on the pull and just get the nose down to catch the water more than anything, the pulling the tail up is second order.

Jump, pull tray up with your legs while pushing the bars forward and straightening your arms to get the entry angle, and as soon as the nose hits the water nail the gas so the ski pulls itself under---you don't want it to stop and your body slam into it.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PK7-vdbzw2U&t=40s

looks like your concentrating too much on the prehop.you dont need a bunch or air.just barley get the ski to hop and push down on the handle bars and lean foward.also when you start to go down be sure to tuck your head.if you dont have foot holds,get some.they will help.make sure to yell "BONZAI!!!!" very loudly with each attempt.

How I learned full tank of gas. Pre hop 3 times hug the crap out of ur gun walls with ur ankles or lock in ur foot holds as u hop push down with all ur strength and duck ur body. Zip tie ur kill switch wind hang on and you'll ride it out. Good luck.

LOL! When I ride around in the intercoastal a lot of people signal me to "dive into" or sub in the water. I shrug my shoulders and say I DONT KNOW HOW!
I must learn!! Bonzaiiii!!

Thanks for the replies. I have no footholds. Just 0 deg bars, worx201 and bilge. Footholds are next fo sho

For me: I just jump up as hard as i can and push my weight down on my bars. Havent done one since i smacked the bottom, so watch out for that haha. Sometimes you pull off a better angle then you really want too....

Keep that buildge running and have Carb clean and new plugs ready at the truck.

I did the same also came in way too fast pushed down way too hard did some sort of sling shot front flip manuver and smacked my face


. ahh the crap that happens when you turn the camera off

my ski had just gotten fresh paint. Didnt do anything to the hull but i over extended my pole and cracked it a bit. hopefully it will last me this year!

I ripped my chin pad off from going in at suck a steep angle. Suicide subs get a little crazy

 

[Shonuff]

With no footholds, your chinpad will be there to stop your forward progress.
