So how long? (Barrel roll content)

[IKSTEJ]

Steering setup has a huge effect on your ability to do a barrel roll.
Using an aftermarket system, and putting your pivot points in the correct position are key.
Move the point on the plate all the way out, and the point on the nozzle all the way in.
You want to get every fraction of steering out of your cable, which will require a little grinding of the steering nozzle. ( only grind enough to clear the pump)
When you get it set right you'll only have 3/4" of clearence between the nozzle, and the hull in both directions
I also cheat my steering a few degrees in the direction I roll.
The steering isn't straight but you'll forget it after the first 10 sec

Oh Yea ... Make sure your footholds are Tight !!! Keep the pole and your chin down.

Thats it I'm not telling you anymore, or you'll all be out rolling me
I got more but I'm sick of typing

Very good advice! I'll try adjusting my steering.

Here's a couple pics we shot on monday. We didn't have much wake, but it was fun and I got some good practice in.

on what looks like a roll attempt you are rolling left and you body is hanging off the right side of the ski. commit and really lean left.

I think you're talking about my buddy. I haven't attempted one yet, and I think he was just doing nose stabs, or something like that. My buddies the one on the new superjet (black one).

I'm so blessed to live on the coast, even if it is only the gulf. I will barrel roll tomorrow.

fyi - on straight jumps keep your legs straight and move your body forward toward the bars. Your waist should be way closer to the center of the ski... Looks cleaner and you are in more balanced and in control that way..

all tricks require you to be in or near this position except the begining of the backflip you sit down... (if it's a small wave) Get use to jumping like this, cause it will help.

Even though it is so simple, Cuong (2ride) does some awesome looking look-backs when he jumps the white wash, keeping his body in the position as your pictures.

Hey....I took that (i think):cheer:

 

[felix5oh]

Where do you put your feet when landing?


I cant do any tricks, i'm just asking. It looks though your pushing down on the bars as your leaning to that side when the pump comes out of the water.

Right on. Thanks for the advice! I'll deff keep that in mind. I think the more time I spend on these boards, the quicker I'll become a much better rider!

Do you have footholds?

What is a Solas Butterfly Impellor???

No, I'm waiting to do the footholds until this winter I think, but I do have some new turf, and some lifter wedges on the way. I think the lifter wedges will help tons, as I can already lift the back of the ski pretty easily with nothing (just pushing my feet out against the sides of the tray).

Solas is just the brand of the impeller.
