|
|
Hey Im new to the forum. I post on wakeboarder.com wakeskating forum but decided to try here.
How do u LAND body varials out in the flats(like ollie not wake jump in the flats)?!?! I have tried over 50 seriously and I get the 180 no prob but i never ride away. 75% of the time I get both feet on the board but they are too close together. I try and spread my stance a little and then 1 foot goes over the front. Would trying a halfcab varial be easier because then I would land regular. _________________ http://www.freewebs.com/midatlanticwakesports |

its easiest to do it right in the trough of the fs wake, like the base of the wake (facing with your front to the wake) _________________ √ |

The Pavement 3.6, yea I always land on the tail. One time I almost rode away but slid out bc my feet were touching each other they were so close together and they were on the tail _________________ http://www.freewebs.com/midatlanticwakesports |

One reason is because the rope is straight in front of you instead of over to the side when you're out in the flats. _________________

I usually try them out in the flats but its not that consistent. I ll have to try it closer to the wake next time. BTW its really easy at the cable park, maybe because of the upward pull? |
