Rippenkroeger Barrel Roll

I got the Larry Rippenkroeger video and watched him do a barrel roll on a 550. OK, it's not what I was thinking, but it is still pretty slick anyhow.

I get on my knees in the tray and grab the left rail with my left hand, right hand on throttle. I get the SJ up on plane. I turn slightly to the right and then hard to the left to break the back of the ski free. The SJ slides sideways, tuck your head down to the right and when the right rail catches water around she goes around in a barrel roll. Get back on throttle once the ski is 3/4 of the way around and ride away.

what is this video and where can i get it?

would be awesome if netflix had it, but the best i could find was huevos 9 and 10 :(

Do it twice?That's DooDoo
he was selling some on ebay a while ago... look it up on ebay under the completed auctions and send him a message.... I bet he has a few more copies...

Oh.... and I did this trick the other day... pretty fun to roll under water! I was surprised how much I liked it... the first time I tried it I got a big mouth full of water! Pretty fun though!

ima order it...:biggthumpup:
 
I have tried them but never could get it past half way I will put some time trying them tommorow.

If you're only getting half way around, it sounds like you need more speed going into the slide. If I am short on speed I can twist my body to make the remaining revolution, but with good speed you and the ski will flip around with no body input.

I just got the video, that logroll is pretty crazy. i used to do that when i was just sitting there on my vxr, just lean and you can get about half way, its the coming back up part thats hard/impossible on a sit down, hahahaha

im definitly gonna be trying some of those tricks on the video this weekend!:brap:
 
wasnt there allready a discussion about this? yes its not technically what most current people associate with a barrel roll, and yeah it used to be referred to as a log roll.

as far as im concerned, its close enough, just because its not in the air doesnt make it any easier. old tricks are sometimes the best tricks i think, when you see someone break out some old stuff during break dancing, skating, motorcross etc.. its allways has that, "oh yeah, i remember that" factor.

plus it looks fun as hell, and thats all that really matters! :brap:
