Xtumor, cut outside the wake hard on your toe side......when you've gone as far as you can turn back toward the boat.....as you approach the wake.....dig in on your heels progressively harder and sit back like you are going to sit in a chair. As you hit the wake bring your front leg up to let the board come up.....let go of the rope with your back arm. Now bring your back foot up as to get some air and level out the board......as you come in on the landing be back and on your heels and try and land on the crest of the other wake....drag your back hand for balance. Try this out and let me know how it goes and if you need more hit me back. Good luck! Cool

Best thing i learned by practice was when you land be cutting. I used to tr and land neutral but it never worked out well. Then one time i accidentally landed edging away and it helps ALOT.

it all depends on your boat set up and speed and lenth of line, if its not all tuned well, its kinda hard. but mainly keep a nice clean edge threw the wake, dont flatten off line a wakeboarder.

i havent been able to get wake to wakes for about 2 months now, i get like all the way but one or two feet usually about 2/3 across. im using all my time on those rather than pop shuvits and stuff, its dissapointing lol, but i have learned to do alot of stuff i need to do when i jump. i gotta start trying other stuff.

Aurora, i was like that too but what helped me was focusing on the shore or the flats past the wake. its like when i look there it keeps me going in the air, instead of coming down early

ill try that when i go out in an hour. I always get SOO close. i just started doing i/o shuvits and i have to say i like lip tricks more, probably cuz their easier. idk. Smile

ill let you know how i do when i get back.

man that sucks, i got out there but my legs were to tired i did like 15 jumps but i couldnt really do wake to wake because my legs wouldnt edge for me. and then i just decided i would try i/o shuvits, and i landed on a few but fell back. i really feel like just doing the lip tricks, they are alot funner.

i just landed 6 today, we have a sea ray which has a very wide wake and i figured out we have to go at least 23-25mph for the wake to get thinner.
