ride the edge of the pump coming unhooked and hold it pinned! its ez
hey, not to thread jack but i have a problem.i can drag my a$$ off the right or left side in turns and hold a good carve, but only half the time. i put my left foot forward, very far left/top of the tray, and my right foot in the very back right of the tray. i can lay some good carve, but half the time i go into a flatwater slide. im not sure what im doing wrong, im guessing that i have the bars turned too much, and i should lessen the degree of turn in the bars and just use throttle with my lean? just curious if anyone knows the soulution to this problem, i've only had the ski for about a week but have put a good 12-13 hours on it and am catching on quick.
one thing I have learned after racing over the past 10 years. It does not matter if you are on a SJ or an SXR. Having a bouy as a turn point and another to use as a reference makes the biggest difference in the world.
Look at the bouy as you come into the turn, as you come past it, move your focus to the next bouy. Your head will control the way you do the rest of the turn. (This does work better on SXR's though) Depending on the turn, chopping the throttle to set the nose does help to get the ski ready to go into the turn. Power for snap turns and throttle control for all other turns.
Turning blind (a turn where you just turn) is actually pretty difficult without a focus point to choose from.
drive through the turn with your back foot..its helps keep the pump hooked up
