|

If you read the last topic on "splits" you know they are killers, but has anyone an idea how to stop them?
I was thinking of tying a piece of rope between my ankles of maybe 80cm or something like that,
Pro's and contra's please, I don't wanna go through it again but I want to go skating next season, help me out!!! _________________ wakeskating is NOT a crime |

I think a string could cause you to get hurt some how, and I wouldn't recommend it.
To me, splits are part of the sport. Just like getting cut by the griptape, or smacking your head on the board. _________________ .:Wake UP Films:.

Wakeboard pants all the way... I will even gladly provide you with Shane Bonifays phone number so you can call him personal and ask him for a pair... although you have to tape the phone conversation. _________________ arson-wake.com |

seriously its not a matter of wat material object u can use or make use with to help u not do splits, its a matter of flexibility. i raced motocross for a very long time and fu cked my knees up bad, so i am very worried of doing a split and once again hurting my knees. i have learned to basically roll forward if i ever feel like im gna do a split. if u roll forward it reduces the pressure on ur hamstring and if everytime u fall somewhere twords the back of the board u train ur self to somewhat roll off than when a split does occur, muscle memory will occur and w/o thinking about u roll out of a split and back up to rideing as soon as ur pull comes around. also i dont think yoga or some stretching would hurt. |
