Just got the backflip!

[d_moss]

Friggin like 3 years of chasing this dream. First year plagued with epic ignition issues, then carb issues, then setup issues....ect $$, $$$ spent on this stupid thing I finally nailed it!

Ski was running good this year and I knew I was close so I decided to send blowsion an email and ask what parts I needed. Shane sent a list of parts in order of importance. 148 pump 8/15 prop showed up, then a tnt pipe. Pump made a big difference and pipe meh... idk maybe it's not tuned well enough.

Then my thigh karate chopped my handle bar and it ripped the turn plate right out of the X metal pole. So a few days later a new blowsion work of art pole showed up. $$$$ later ugh....

Many many flops and coming really close I finally landed one. It was quite awesome. I now know how to do it but nailing the wake every time is the hard part.

Congrats! Not sure what setup you have but try slowing it down. Focus on riding up the wave and getting height. Let the ski do the work.

 

[Big Kahuna]

Yeah, your going really fast and blowing thru the wave.

 

[Freakrider]

Congrats ! Have you experimented with a bigger pre-burst ? Like in this video...

What pump were you running?
I am either getting a 148 or a pipe. Now I am thinking pump. Seems the pipe is hit and miss or a ton more tuning.

Nice work! You're definitely going way too fast. Even with a 701 I go pretty slow and do a pre hop. To take full advantage of a laydown pipe you need to spend the time dialing in temperature and pump load. I noticed a world of a difference over a b pipe on my 701. I run a tnt v3.

The pipe I don't think is getting hot enough. I put the smallest jet I had 87.5? I think. and you can still grab it. It also gave it more power no question but $1600 more um I don't know yet.

I went from a 11/17 144 to this pump and it definitely felt more thrust.

Blowsion bb850 62t cylinder. 46 carbs stock electronics

I have a few more flips on vid I will see about going slower. The wake is so hard to master

PFP with water injection? if so you should be running around a 45 main. Pipe needs to be 170-180, waterbox stinger should be like a 105 (i think) looking for 80 degrees on box

 

[d_moss]

I will try that. Said start with like a 115 if I remember right.

45 is way to small for the tnt pipe......

I posted for a information for a power factory. Not sure what the op is running.

Says tnt in the op.

I think this varies by setup.

I'm currently running a 50 main on my V3 and it's not even hot. I'm going down to a 45 this weekend.

Just for my future reference, what's the water temp.

I hear ya. That's about what we are now.
I will be tuning in spring and it will be probably the same temp.
I am doing my homework now!

I going to assume you have a lot of timing and don't pull much of it. If you were running an enhancer that would be a different story. Setup is always key and each setup will vary in jet size.
