Took the RIP out yesterday and tried my first back flips. Had my lady record them. Very useful in seeing what I am doing wrong.
My pre hop was pathetic, my setup wake was tiny and I didn't crouch enough before i hit the wake.
Will see if I can fix this.
I made it upside down about a dozen times. My feet only came out of the footholds one time. I took a chunk of skin off one knuckle, but other than that pretty safe.
Then I jump on my X-2, after 10 minutes on it I see a ok wake from a boat so I try a barrel roll. Didn't hit it right, ski didn't get much air, went upside down into the water, hemet hit the water first and pushed my face into my bars. Busted my nose up some , lots of blood and have a golf ball size lump on my cheek.
Lucky I guess, kept all my teeth and didn't lose an eye.
I rode for another few hours playing it safe the rest of the day.
