alright, cool. i rode behind a malibu (mls i think?) with a wakeboarder who is sponsored by LF this past weekend. i wanted to try w2w but the wake was to intimidating.

what do you call the trick where you just ollie and do a 180 in the air? i'm going for that tomorrow. i can ollie over a kneeboard just fine without touching it.

it's fun behind a ski except the quality of your ride isn't as good because the hand-throttle leaves for alot of fluxuation unless ur driver is awesome..... one second ur goin 19-20 next thing u know ur doin 15-16 cause u pulled hard on the ski and ur friend didnt notice or give more gas.... so stayin consistent i've found is a lil tougher but it's still a blast Cool

BTW land starts rawk!

urinal mint, Its just a ollie 180. And w2w's are a lotta fun.

Once you get that ollie 180 down pact you can take it "inside out". That means you start on the inside of the wake and cut and ollie off the wake into the flats. Then once you get that inside out 180 down, take it to the boat. Wink

Just remember its 1,2,3,4. Not 1,4. Laughing

skis lil boats and big boats, all fun Smile

your never limited, your just limited from getting 1 ft. of air to getting 8 ft. of air. u can never be limited u can always learn new tricks behind whatever u ride.

your looking at it backwards theres a ton more you can do with a ski then you can behind a boat. and you will progress 100x faster behind a ski, because you get in 2x the riding time

PIRATE, i was just about to say that. a jet ski isnt limiting... just the opposite
