li 8-29-2010 50 year old try backfilp!!!

Nice!
I've been lucky, I've tried about a half dozen off boat wakes down in Texas and have pancaked every freakin one of them. I was told that ONE time I went past halfway, maybe 2/3 but not a nose it. Can't believe I haven't had any motor mount carnage. Worst think that happens to me is that my battery goes flying around the bilge pinching throttle cables, etc.

I think my problem was, I thought that if I went real high I would have a lot of time to finish the flip. Turns out if you don't have the rotation it doesn't matter if you are 4 feet up or 14... The higher you go the more stuff you break though I guess. I did have my battery fly around inside the ski a few times as well... One battery welded itself to one of my ADA studs.

i just got yelled at by rizz he is only 47 woops!!! lol

my trys end up with a bent handlepole and bent rrp bars. i got caught up in the break and got pounded into the sand. but that happened after the flip try. just tired of working on my boat. just got the 830 dialed in. now i have some power. i did mine with a single carb stock port stock bore 701.

I want to backflip, but I have no footholds. I guess I have a winter project. I would help if I had some good waves too.

 

[ryan]

come on down!!! we have steve "hollywood" the backflip master to show you how.

i give rizzo credit now... I tried steve's ski yesterday and it didn't help my attemps any. Still flopped them and landed on my head. I don't have the mechanics of the flip down yet.
