Q8 Flip Practice

[N3vrSat1sfied]

Didn't get a lot of boat wake attempts but here is what I got so far. I really tried to slow down and hit the wave and let the pump do some more work, I felt like my form is 10x better than last year (last year video below as well). Last year it was pure speed, lol and I was kinda far away from a boat that was going to fast. So what else do I need to do to get this thing around?

Bigger wake haha

bigger motor would probably work too right? lol

 

[Droste14]

Well yes of course. You're running a 771 JM?

 

[N3vrSat1sfied]

Well yes of course. You're running a 771 JM?

yup with 145 mag pump

 

[Droste14]

Yeah I watched your build thread.. I want your hull!

 

[billman100]

i always get more air off the second wake then directly behind the boat, unless its set up for surf wake

Dude, pull the bars to your chest, and you got it.

Is that all I'm missing? I have been trying to pull em but maybe I'm just not pulling hard enough. Now I want to get back out there and try to focus on that.

Thanks for the help wakerider!

Not sure feels comfortable, but it could probably go shorter

Might cut the ride plate down a bit more too.

There u go Jordan...

Time to jump to the DVX haha

I rode this setup last weekend...that little JM motor makes some great power. That setup in any hull would keep ya happy for a while for flat or surf riding

You'll be really close man. Hit the wave the same, then when the ski starts to travel upward, pull the bars to your chest to make it rotate. It will get you that last 30% you need.

You almost got it, keep it up!

 

[EvanKrefski]

so close man! im going out today to try some!

I'm almost at the same place as you man, do you have trim? But someone told me to pull back harder and really pull those bars to your chest. And I started nailing off of wakes. It's the little details that you miss out on that makes the trick. Good luck bud

pull the bars to your chest brotha!

the machine will follow.



your better off learning on your own wake then the wake you are hitting on that boat...

Justin pulled his first flip on Saturday (Bob w/701, stock pump).

Your machine is more than capable off your own wake

You've almost got it. Blip that throttle prior to hitting the wake to get the nose to drop right before it starts into the waves transition then hammer it. The video below is just a 701.

damn, you rotated fast on that. I was trying to do the "wheelie" thing before the wake, video too zoomed in to see, but you can hear it on some of them.
