do jetskis even make a big enough wake to ollie ? it would seem that you'd have better chance chasing after a boat and jumping their wake to get some air.

i learned how to wakeboard behind a jetski, jumping the wake on a wakeboard is nearly pointless, and even less constructive on a wakeskate, but can be done. We used to ride at 45 or 50, and could do it, but no air.

whats the point??? the reason we use jet skis is to do lip tricks and its impossible to do any "trick" wake2wake behinde a ski anyways... Rolling Eyes

i landed about 2 of them last summer, going faster than usual and just the same technique as on a boat. You actually can do some cool tricks w2w behind a ski, my buddy has almost landed a shuv it about 5 times but just slides out of it. It looks pretty sweet.

i (che blanc) ride my jetski at about 20 ft for w2w (55 ft for everything else) and the w2w is about 6-7 ft across and you can get about 5 ft up. were doin hs/ts w2w shuvits, shuvit2indys...etc. its not the same as boat w2w but its still a w2w. and its definitely harder than in the flats or inside out so u cant compare it to that. i have a 4 seater yamaha so when we have 3 people ridin on the jet ski the wake is at least a foot... ill try to get some video to show u guys

i used to skate behind a jet ski almost everyday and could stomp w2w all the time.
dont know what length rope though sorry guys just tied it on and hit it.
but can be done definitly.
and about there being no wake we were doing 360's, 180's and ive landed a tantrum on a wakeboard behind a ski as well.

i like going inside out wake behind jet skis. on ours it has a better lip than regular wake
