Pulled my first ghost rider tonight!!!

[RiverRat]

I am pumped!! I pulled my first ghost rider on the X-jet tonight. I only hit it 1 out of 6 tries but man it felt good! That X-jet is the sh** in flatwater :Banane09:

Then to top it off my buddy took it out and freakin nailed a plate to plate roll. He landed completly flat I just heard "WACK"!! :afro: Big props to Squid. Nice air with a nice slow lofty rotation.

What is a ghost rider on a ski exactly?

 

[RiverRat]

Kind of hard to expalin.

About 1:30 into this vid of Malone is a ghost rider: YouTube - Insane Jetski Freestyle Backflips Eric Malone 2006

He does one after his 3 Backflips

It's a backflip. Instead of staying in the trey, you jump off the side of the ski and just let the ski backflip. I see Malone and Lenzi helping the ski around by grabbing the bond line and kinda spinning the ski around to help rotation and to control stabbing the nose in the water.

 

[SUPERJET-113]

OH! That's a "around the world"!

I helped it around with my hand a got the ski to land flat, so it did not nose in. :Banane35:

Thats a" around the world"!

I was thinking a "around the world" was when you flip the ski over the top of you and catch the nose

I just watched that video and your right, that is different from the around the world.
Hes flying though the air with his ski as it goes around. The regular "around the world" like say Stoyer does, he's more in the water and pretty stationary.

Thats pretty impressive if you pulled that off like Malone does in that vid of his WF run last year. Good job! Congrats Riverrat!

:dunno: the announcers said it was an around the world :dunno:

 

[SUPERJET-113]

Well then its one bad ass "around the world"!

Of course when Malone does a trick, not to many people can do it better. Thats for sure!

 

[RiverRat]

Next time I'm on the water i will try to get one on video

:dunno: the announcers said it was an around the world :dunno:

You would be surprised what announcers call tricks

Check out the video on my page..... it was a crappy one from a while ago, but you get the idea http://www.myspace.com/jaredajlouny The time in the video counts down... so 55 seconds left is where i do it. Congrats river rat... besides the back flip, it is my favorite trick!

Sweet! Was that off a boat wake?

 

[norcal ex]

no, that was my own wake... it gets scary doing them off boat wakes! haha, so much air!

That was some nice air for your own wake! Looks good. I need to work on my consistency..........but man it is a fun trick to pull off. The only bad thing about the trick is it is really fun to pull off, but to most people it looks like a crash b/c you don't land in the tray. Same thing with throws. I love doing both though

Keep it up!!!!! You are only getting better all the time. No fear=success. Get some video.

Glad you were able to use the video I shot for reference. Scott Frazier of the IJSBA threatened me and made me pull them off my site. Eric was the man before he hurt his wrist.

Big Move

I saw the big air ghost ride! Very nice job, the x-jet is awesome in flat water and I bet the boat was 5-6 feet out of the water.
