Freestyle Landing my first flat water flips

[speedysprocket]

Been working on it for a while, finally came together today and feels so much better. A little more work to do, but I'm not drinking nearly as much of my pond! Upgrading to 48s and a pole that can breath certainly helped...

gettin there! should try some setup wake flips. it would help you get up out of the water and finish of the last 20% rotation.

X2. Looking good and congrats!

Great job!! X2 on setup wake, it will be easier to get more height and complete rotation before hitting the water.

Nice man!

Yeah, my last time at the lake all I did was practice setup wakes.

Don't take this wrong, cause I probably have the worst BF form in the history of time and I haven't landed one because of it.... but the only thing I see missing is throwing your head back?

Looking good though, take a rest from all that 180 business and practice some setup wakes! Way to go for it though.

Thanks guys. The only thing I've gained so far from throwing my head back is drinking more pond water. Timing has been easier for me with the 180s. I guess once I get it down, I'll go back to trying the setup wake. Right now it just feels good to not be under water every time I try it! It also helps that I can ride in my backyard to...

That is a pretty sweet ride spot, is that literally in your backyard??

It is literally my backyard. I own that chunk of water to the bulkhead on the far side. I have a PVC ramp I built. Pull trailer up to garage, pull ski onto trailer, push trailer into backyard, and down the ramp. Pretty convenient ...

That's epic!!! How deep is it?? That's my dream to have a pond in the backyard

 

[speedysprocket]

It's deep, never touched bottom. Previous owner said about 25 feet. Sure beats driving to any ramp to ride flat water.

Looking good.
