Double ups?

Vance Collins · Guest

Are people out there hitting these on there skates? I really started focusing on my w2w tricks this week and hit a double up for the hell of it and actually got some pretty nice air, so now I just hit one everytime. I;ve seen the pic of watsons doulbe up but really havnt seen any others.

Yes, doubleups are fun. Although I should warn you, it's more difficult to get consistency on them, so you're more likely to end up losing control of the board (and bad things can come of that).

vance, In that video Underestimated Grubb hits a 360 off the double up, I have seen Grubb do a lot of douple up tricks.

Double up's are so much fun! I like the way the wake pops the board to your feet and you don't have to ollie like you do on a regular w2w jump. Just follow the transition and launch. (I did a big-split off a double up two seasons ago and it wasn't that fun...) I try to hit double ups at least twice a session altough I'm more oriented to lip tricks which I like to do most.

I hit some every time I ride. It is such a cool feeling to hit a double up on a skate.

Well no footage today, but it was glass out and i went for the d up and hit the 3rd roller and just popped up and landed with a perfect transiotion down the other wake. Unbeleivable feeling.

there hell good fun! easier to stick the board to your feet than on a w2w because of how steep the incline is off the second roller. My mate trigger's been trying shuv-indy, but no luck yet!!

My boat is so small I don't really bother with Double ups, I can hit them while wakeboarding though. But I while ago I think someone claimed a japan air off the double up on wakeboarder.com (don't quote me on it though).

Nice one Eike... Laughing

not much success on the double ups.. cos my wake to wakes are so inconsistent... can't quite get the board to pop off the wake right..... most the time i try re-entry ollies off the double up....somewhat inspired by watching Leatherman and Reed try big a$$ shuvit indys off them.....we set the double up to come in toeside.. hang out just after the foam and drift in to the spotted roller... you can really pull some height off them if you pop it right.. i get like 1 in 20 tries tho.. haha...

here's a pic of jimbo trying out one when the boyz were out in Singapore earlier this year...
