Turn slide (hockey stop)

[Dirtybird]

I love doing these. ok. Must be done on flatwater or very small chop not to break an ankle or twist a knee.

Ride at any speed on plane. The faster you go the more vulnerable you are to getting hurt, with most any trick.
Let off the throttle. Then turn fully to left or right and go to WOT just enough to get the ski to turn 90 degrees. While doing this lean into the turn so the ski is laying almost flat to the water (Picture hockey stop here) The ski will skip or slide until you come to a stop or you turn the bars the other way and hit the throttle to straighten out. You can go really far and is a really fun 'trick' !
Anyone with some suggestions or better ways to explain, feel free to post. :cool2:

I think this is a Kawi thing.
My 750sx will do it,
but my SN just slides sideways:Banane01:

one of the first things i learned, on plane turn to stop, throttle, lean, letoff when sliding, prepare to countersteer, lean back to the center, throttle till the way you want to go and hold it on. bonus points for shooting water in the air. go full 180 to tailstand then theres many tricks that can evolve from that. high siding is fun, youll get BUCKED!

do it on the face of the wave its called a slash.

On flatwater I go full speed do a small s turn and let off the gas... you will slide into a 180... just make sure you lean over the bars... it's just like doing a 180 on a couch, but more fun...

in the surf this is fun as ********:
You can head straight at a and wave and about 10-15 before it slide into a 180 and let the wave hit you and power out down the face of the wave or even when the wave is kinda sucky do that into the whitewater... the water will lift the back up and just get on the gas quick so the wave doesn't munch ya..
