although i cant go w2w in know how to keep it under my feet. right when you hit the lip, do a little pop and push your front foot forward like an ollie so the board stays on your feet. i wouldnt do too big of an "ollie" on the lip cuz you might throw yourself off. _________________ I like to choke when my team needs me the most, no Romo. |

I had alot of trouble with w2w before I realized I was trying to pop to hard. Like jboss said, just do a little ollie off the lip and let your knees come up, almost like your gonna do an indy. |

Taking off on edge keeps the board under your feet.You only have to do a tiny bit of an ollie motion.
The key is the progressive edge,start really wide and drift in for a while before you start edging.Then for your first while you will only want to hit it with a medium cut.If you edge too hard it really boots you and makes it harder to control.Once you get the medium cut down and you are easily clearing the wake you can start adding a little more edge for more height. _________________ http://www.bellacoolahelisports.com/index.html

Tribal nailed it.....with a good progressive edge combined with taking off on edge you don't need to ollie. |
