So I nailed one tonight. One out of 30! And when I landed it I didn't expect it and let go and fell back $&/)$:&:!!! I tried a few more and could not get it again. Tomorrow is another day. We got waves on by a wakeboard boat and hit some huge rollers, I pussed out and didn't try a flip, those rollers were intimidating. Josh nosed one in off it, and it looked awesome from where I was. I guess we need go pros now.

Hard to do on a chan because the dont like to slide. Unless yiur packing a 1200 with a huge pump it takes a lot of body english. The snappier and more violent you throw your head back and yank while upside down the better. Watching someone do it in person on your ski helps a lot. I have been obsessing over this move for a year but not tons of tray time. Easy on a circus with a 1200. Not so much on a badass with a 850.

Don't own a chan myself.. But I am packing a 1,000 and 148 setback. A few more times out and I think I'll have it down.

Ahhh. For a second I thought you were accusing me of brig a traitor to my own company! Haha. I'd seriously trade one of my hulls for a chan, a circus and a xfs ninja. But don't tell anyone! I just want one of each. I want to end up like the buzzard and have a bunch of skis for no other reason but "I can"

Update- I found trying these without pulling trim makes it easier! I'm getting a ton more height now. And more rotation. I keep trying to remember yank the bars and snap my head back. Those are the 2 biggest issues for me, I can't always remember to do everything because it happens so fast.

IMO, yanking on the bars does more for your rotation than your head - so if you have trouble doing both, yank the bars. As soon as you are upside down, yank them to your chest. That was the last piece for me to get rotation down pat. If you do it right, you actually feel/see the rotation speed up once you get to that point.

I think he was referring to you being banned for insulting and condescending posts. That tends to piss people off when it is directed towards them and doesn't win you lots of friends with all those who see it.

Awesome, now that that's settled lets get back on topic. I'm heading back out to try a few hundred more of these until I nail it every time. Good thing it's a long weekend
