Freestyle Sn flip 360 barrel roll?
- Thread starter bobbyd
- Start date
this is a good thread. I have a 93 sx 750 and a 03 sxr800 and want to do a barrel roll too. when i asked befor what i needed to do not much was mentioned. Now everyone is saying to get a new hull instead of the super jet hull. most people just told me to get a yamaha.WTF. Is it really possible to do tricks like this on a mostly stock machine?? I have no one to learn from around here and really want to learn some tricks like this. is it really all about the machine or just rider and technique??
A buddy of mine can pull rolls with anything-from a piped 650 SJ to a 701 SJ to a Q8 with Kawi 750 power plant
So what is the technique required to do a roll. How fast do u need to b going

From someone that can't roll, and is still new to the sport, I suggest you check out the instructional threads. Read up all you can, and just go out and practice. Technique is one of those things you just have to grind out the hours on the ski to fully perfect. If possible, get some video of your better attempts, uploaded them, and get some criticism. Best of luck,

I just need the basic idea of how to do it. If you can do it can u just tell us all that dont know the basic technique. like do you steer away from the wake that u want to hit, how fast should you be going, do you need to really squat down in the tray. stuff like that. I have watched many vids and cant quite figure out what they are doing to initate the roll.. thanks.

Yeah i have the same question with the rolls man. I have 90 SJ SN, with plenty of money into the ski and engine, pipe, ride plate, impellor, etc. But i cant ever figure out how to do 2 things, roll a boat wake and make my own good setup wake good enough to do tricks over. Any advice? Im 16 but been riding my whole life and im not new to the sport but need a few tips

Man wtf. Everyone and their mom wants to backflip and barrel roll but no one wants to learn
Stand ups have a high learning curve. It takes months just to learn how to carve correctly and not fall over 24/7. Why people think they need a factory pipe, intake grates, ride plates, 800cc+ motors, and all that boggles my mind. Money does not trump skill. You can throw 20k at your ski and do a backflip from power, but that doesnt add any skill to your game whatsoever, looks poserish IMO. The whole "Its just money" thing is hella lame, and makes most that cant ride look like douches. Serious
You cant tell someone how to roll, or stab. Everyone has there own technique and flair. You cant tell someone how to setup a wake, again eveyrone sets them up different and everyone hits them different. If you are asking how to do a barrel roll, you prob should practice riding more. I went from bunny hops, to subs, to broncos, to nose stabs, to now barrel rolls. Prob 200 hrs of ride time. No one showed me a thing. A barrel roll, for me, is not anything like doing a nose stab, its a totally different motion and way you throw your body, they are not alike at all.
I know all sports and hobbies have posers, but skis seem to get it the worst. Everyone thinks you gotta be rich, and gotta have a pretty ass ski. No one knows a damn thing about tech besides a few main members here. Everyone wants to be spoon fed. Ill do more on a beat to snot STOCK 701 squarenose than half the dudes with built to the hilt roundnoses with nice wraps and pretty paint.
Get out and ride and it will all come to you. Sack up, throw that ski, fall a BUNCH of times, get water up your nose, eyes, ass, sink the ski 4 times, blow up a couple engines, go broke buying gas, brake the trailer, then MAYBE you will have enough time in the tray to start attempting rolls.
