Thanks to the articles and posts on subs, I pulled off my first today. I had been practicing all day, doing some small jumps, etc. but never was able to get enough dive in order to go completely under.
On my last attempt, I lifted up real high on the sides of the tray, squatted, and PUSHED the bars down, while I was looking at the nose of the ski and the water. Next thing I knew, I was completely under water with the ski! mfg: I was a little freaked, since I didn't think I would actually pull it off....and I don't have the block off, bilge, duck bills, etc... I had visions of my ski continuing to the bottom as I bobbed back to the surface. But I blipped the throttle and came back up, and the ski was still running. If anyone was watching from the shore, they probably thought I was always doing it, since I came out and just kept on riding...but I was actually pretty stoked. Oh well...thought I'd mention that thanks to everyone's tutelidge (sp?) on here, I was able to pull of my first really cool trick.:bananalama:
