Pulling off a superman

[01PROX600]

I was wondering if anyone had caught a superman on tape that had been landed. Not the superman where you hang off the ski and go down with it, but pull the superman and land it back in the tray? How hard is this trick to pull off?

Thanks, that is one of the ways i was looking for. Anyone else have one where the guy has one hand on the handlebars and the other on a foot strap or hand hold on the back of the ski...then lands it?

Nobody lands that kind of Superman on flatwater(like Stoyer in pic above). You kick the ski out, grab the back hand hold(if you have one) with your left hand, extend out as much as possible and hit the water, then crawl back in the tray. Like said before..

I don't see why the above (Stoyer pic) couldn't be landed if it was done in huge surf by one of the animals we call pros.

It would be sick to see!!!!!!

Its possible I suppose, but would be a bitch to grab back to the handle bar and then be in position to land feet first back in the tray.

You'd almost have to slam the ski forward with your left hand so it would kick the tray out for your feet, meanwhile trying to grab back to the bars! Pretty tough if you ask me! Maybe thats why we have never seen it done.

Yes this is what i was trying to explain. Except i wanted to know if anyone had pulled it then got back in the tray to land it. Whether it would happen in the surf, jumping massive boat wakes, but can understand the extreme difficulty of trying to land it on flat water.

I dont have any video but I land these on flatwater. The one like stoyer can be pulled its just all about timing

 

[MADMAT]

Killer pic!! Get some vid of that!

 

[kingnothing3]

ive landed them on flat and surf. just gotta be fast on flat. I dont have any video though. the ski will touch the water before your feet are in the tray, you just need to have your feet in the right spot to land in it without twisting your ankle.
