So ive been practicing doing subs on my stock 00' SJ and when i get it under water, my head always hits the damn pole. This time my head actually broke the padding off the pole! Cant figure out what im doing wrong. Im also 6'1 if that helps thanks

Slow down, do a preload, suck up your feet, and push the nose down.

Do 100 more report back.

Subs: can't breathe, always go way too deep and just stop underwater, and rip your chin pad off = NOT FUN!

Zipties are your friend, only thing holding mine together anymore. I ended up using the zipties completely around the base of the chinpad that worked fine until i got my RRP pole.

Subs were the first trick I learned. Pretty easy trick once you know the right steps to doing it. Just takes a while to get it.

Subs were my first trick too. Learned them the day i rode for the first time with footholds on my SN. Ahh brings back memories lol.

I only do that trick for cute girls anymore.

I used "L" brackets from Lowes b/c they fit directly onto the chinpad and into the stock chin pad bolts
