Learning Your First Wakeboard Flip
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 січ 2022
- "What is the first flip I should try?" One of the more common questions I get out in the wakeboarding world so in this edit I take you through the 2 flips that can help you get inverted on your wakeboard with some low risk and low impact techniques! Slowing the boat down, shortening the rope are just 2 quick ways to minimize the risk but understanding how the board should be taking your body around rather than your body carrying the board around is one of the biggest keys you will learn in this instructional piece.
Want to get inverted like Tom Cruise in Top Gun? Yeah, me too. The toeside backroll and heelside backroll are the flips that I have the most success with while coaching students around the world. I still don't know if toe side is one or two words:) How bout back side? Backside? Whatever, either way, even if you aren't comfortable doing a flip on a trampoline, off a dock, diving board, or off the side of the boat, these flips can unlock a whole new dimension of wakeboarding!
Enjoy your ride! ✌️

So….. 12 years ago I was attempting huge back flips and clearing the wake but never landed and rode one out. I watched this video the other day and listened on how you said how easy it was d o impact etc…. I stuck that sob on the 6th try today!!!! Great video. Best tip for me was how you said it’s low impact and you won’t get hurt and you purposely flew onto your head. Without that I don’t think I would have tried the trick. I said f it I’m gonna trust this guy and go for it. The smile on my face today when I landed on that board made my day! I’m 45 years old too lol. Throwing that out there for all the youngsters that are scared, don’t be, you got this.
Love this Scoot!
Shaun thanks so much for the help!!! Landed my first back roll today and studied your video multiple times to do it. Also did it on your board :) landing a flip on a wakeboard has been a huge goal of mine for awhile so thanks for helping me accomplish it!!! Slowing the boat down to 19 (instead of 21) and 55' rope length definitely helped me dial it in. Plus your advice of focusing on looking up with your hip up instead of diving your head down toward the water and a short progressive cut were all excellent tips!!!!
Love to hear this D!
I landed my first HS back roll at the end of last summer. It took me 3 years and 70+ tries but persistence finally paid off. Thanks Shaun for making these videos. They definitely helped me.
nice job 👍 the tantrum is actually way easier it took me a while but it looks so much cleaner than the hs backroll
Right on Blake!
Thank you Shaun for making such insightful videos. This video right here helped me land my first tantrum at a cable park from a kicker last week. Im 33.
Lots of appreciation for your knowledge that you share with all of us. "Push hips up in to the sky!!"
🤜🏼💥🤛🏼
Been watching this video on loop for about a week. I went out and gave it a shot on July 17, 19, 21 and got it on the 24th.
4 sets, less than 2 hours behind the boat. Practiced all of the drills in the surface 180s video, the unlock toe side video, foundations of riding, more pop on less wake, and I just wanna say thank you for being an amazing coach. In those 4 sets I’ve become a significantly more proficient rider. I’ve been out with friends who just ‘go for it’ on everything and I’m getting better much faster than them. Being intentional, slowing the boat down, changing the rope length, running drills, and not trying to be flashy is absolutely changing my love for the sport.
I do always finish with a “flashy run” with the boat at 21 and the rope at 65. Because of these videos these runs are growing from 1minute and 3-4 jumps to 5-6 minutes and lots more activity including wake to wake both directions (not switch yet).
I’d love to learn a few more silly tricks like the tail slides, slow looking surface 360s at the far outside point of your cut, raley without the wake, and the backspin laying down on the water I’ve seen you do.
I’d also like to see videos on riding switch and ollies cuz these still scare me a lot. I loose most of my stability really quickly.
Thank you Shaun!!
Thanks for the toe side back roll tips! Just landed my first one on my 5th attempt!
You constantly make me ready for the lake to thaw so we can get out there and have fun. Thanks for keeping on being rad Shaun.
There still isn't a better wakeboard teacher. thanks shaun. giving me confidence to try some of this stuff again after a good 10 year break.
Thanks for the props Derek!
I'm 45 and just tried the toeside backroll last night for the first time. Got really close both tries. Way easier than I thought.
Right on Capn! 🤜🏼💥🤛🏼
I can't wait for this season to begin, your video have really help me understand what to do before I try it. Thanks Shaun 👍
Thanks for this, Shaun. You always break things down to such a digestible level. Looking forward to the tantrum video!
No worries Mike! It's on the list!
Im nowhere near even trying this but u explain it so clearly and make it seem so fluid and easy that i end up thinking hey i might just get this lmao
Just landed my first 360s last weekend wake to wake, this weekend I'll be attempting some front rolls! So excited
Watched this video on Saturday morning. Went wakeboarding Monday morning and landed the toe side back roll after my third attempt. Thanks for the video! It helped me a lot.
Now that's awesome 👊🏼
Mate, you make it sound so easy... you've Gee'd me up. Can't wait to give it a go this weekend. I'll let you know how go. Cheers mate !
I had goals for the backroll last summer, it's happening on my new murray board this year! Thank you for these amazing tutorials, it really makes the tricks seem doable with your very progressive explanations
Right on James!
So thankful for your tips, i followed your advice and stuck it on 3rd try, 41 yr old dog learning new tricks
Yes! Let's gooooo Woody!
This is really awesome - seeing the error of my ways. Traditional waterski inboard, thinking wide cut and speed will get launch for back roll. This gives me renewed hope to successfully land the back rolls… out last week in NW, shorty, cold at 42 degrees, but a blessing we get to have this kind of fun!
Thanks for watching Canuck!
Thank you so much for this tutorial :-) i can wait for the summer and trying this :-)
I’m going to try when we get are new boat and get it in the water
Right on boys!
we love you shaun
I’m stomping a toeside back this spring! Can’t wait to try it!
Yessur!
Solid video, amazing tips, would have never even know this was a wakeboard trick never the less land one after studying this video. Thank you so much👍🏼 great coaching advice
Thanks Connor🤜🏽💥🤛🏽
I’m going to try this tonight! I’ll give you a updated comment
Lemme know how it went!
Awesome video as always 👍🏼
Gosh i wish i had all these videos 20 years ago. I graduated in 99 and grew up on the water. I want to get back out so bad no after watching your vids. Im shopping for a natique now! Thank you shaun. Enjoy your ride! Peace haha
Right on Trev! Let me know how it's going!
Sick…I watched this video and landed the back roll after years of trying. Good advice and board. Thanks bud
Love to hear it! 🤜🏼💥🤛🏼
2022 is the year I want to land my first backflip ! Muchos gracias Amigo !
De nada Vince!
Just watched your vid; took me four tries to land toe side backflip. So stoked !
Now that's pretty fast!
Shawn my grandad past away this week. I'm sure you heard of Ray McCracken from mercer County Pa. But if we had the boats like this back in the day at dream lake this would be a awesome thing to learn on! Not everyone has the luxury of 50k plus ski boats like the rich and famous haha love your work man! Keep it up, ur teaching them good!
Sorry you lost your grandad and that name sounds familiar. For sure not everyone can learn behind the big fancy boats but they aren't necessary to have a good time!
Every video you make makes me want to send it
My washed out little wake makes it hard no luck last season but ill get it this season hopefully. Tantrum and toeside back roll are so close
Thanks man this really helped a lot and now I'm ready to do some flips( I've only wakeboarded twice)
Go for it! But also make sure you watch this... ua-cam.com/video/eSJPitLMRY8/v-deo.html
Had the Murray board in 96-97. Glad to be here
Sick! Thanks for stoppin by
My goal is to master a back roll this summer. I'm 46 years old and got my first towboat last summer. Learned to heel and toe-side wake to wake jump, surface 180 and 360, rail slide the top of the wake, and ollie. Shaun Murray is my go-to for tutorials that keep me progressing. It feels good to keep up with my teenage kids and their friends. Another great video. Thank you!! (And I ride a Murray 150 and it's "sick" as my kids would say.)
BTW did the hyperlitewake tour in the early 2000s at clarion river in Pa. It was fun stuff man
Can we get a new wakeboard game already??? Love you bro
I’ve been trying the heel side back roll this summer, I started watching all your how to videos which has helped a lot but I think I always try and jump too early. Also I ordered a hyperlite murray board so I should be doing amazing things soon. Love from Australia
Awesome to hear Braid! Good on ya mate!
gonna try this toe side backroll tomorrow ! problem is my boat as the smallest wake haha the good thing is that i know how to backflip on flat ground really well hope this will help ! gonna post an update
Being able to do a standing backflip on the ground isn't necessary but for sure makes a big difference
@@Shaun.Murray tried it twice behind a jetski, made it around but landed on knees, iwas way closer than previous times, i think i jumped too early and was pulling the borad instead of it spinning me around ... gonna try it again for sure
Gonna try tomorrow bro will let you know how I go
A vídeo doing a HS Backroll to revert would be awesome Shaun…greetings from Brazil
I'll put that in the list Danilo!
Thanks for making this video!
Helps a lot!
I wanna try heelside roll to blind or tantrum to blind, can you teach these tricks sometime?
That's some next level riding! How's your backside 180? Landing wrapped or handle pass?
Fantastic video man! Landed my first couple HS Backrolls late last season…finally stomped a clean one just before dark on my last set for the year. Can’t wait to take this and hopefully the tantrum video to the lake with me next year. I’m 100% self/UA-cam taught and have considered getting a couple proper lessons next year to clean things up…worth it?
Congrats Chapin! If you're headin this way, look me up! Love helping people clean things up and progress quickly!
Hello! This video gives great tips and im going to be trying them out but i wanted to ask. Have you tried wakeboarding in the ocean? If so, is there a difference with the cutting part bc when I wakeboard, if I where to lean that back, a small wave could push me to fall down before even starting the flip! Any tips?
Thanks for the video Shaun!
I currently ride a kinda small wake boat, do you think these inverts would be easier than a tantrum for first time?
Depends on the person. If I were riding a smaller wake, I'd probably do one of these first, before the tantrum
Thanks for this, and this makes me want to push for TS Backroll to start. I am curious, though, why you put tantrums in the more complicated specter? Honestly, the HS Backroll seems to be the most complex, technically regarding edge and handle control --thoughts?
Some people, but honestly much less, do the Tantrum first. It takes a bit more timing and finesse.
@@Shaun.Murray thanks Shaun. I got a solid tip from Brandon Judd a while back about getting some private training, indoors, and I hired a gymnastics coach to work on my back tuck. I am excited to take this to cable, where I think I will keep with the Tantrum, but for Boat, I am thinking TS BR. Appreciate you and I always enjoy your content. Love to get down to OW for a session with you sometime!
After finding your videos last month, my wakeboard skills have developed immensely. I decided to give heelside back rolls a shot. I'm getting the full rotation around, it's just the weirdest feeling trying not to rotate while being pulled by the boat.. any suggestions to stay in place while rotating?
I’m not clear on what you’re having trouble with. Can you explain a little differently
Hey i dont know if you still need the help or what not but i think its about the part where he mentioned looking out in front of you and not at the boat so you dont force yourself to rotate! Also if you did end up landing these thats amazing!!
My Frend axadentaly did a half back flip unintensnaly and landed on head
Hi ! Thanks for the tutorial Shaun! I suceed backroll one or 2 time on a g23 with a big wave but more difficult on a smaller. I have two questions :
- the board orientation on the wake is more 10h or 11h ?
- do you transfer the body weight from heel to toes at the top of the wake ?
10th hour. The transfer of body weight is the load and release similar to how you do a wake jump but for this backroll, it's an over release while shifting weight to the back foot
@@Shaun.Murray merci shaun ! And thanks again for all your tuto it s helping a lot !
What ballast level should I try for the first flip that you showed how to achieve?
Depends on the boat but yesterday while pulling a student at OWC, G23, 55' rope, 17.5 mph, zero ballast. If you're in a boat that doesn't have a big ol G wake, fill up the ballast some to give you a little more umph. But if you're relying on the wake size to get you around, you may not be doing it right. Can be done w a super small wake but some size can help for sure while learning. Just make sure you use your edge (cut) through the wake to get the power and push to carry you around.
@@Shaun.Murray hadn’t attempted it yet, headed out for Easter weekend. Only have done a front flip
Trying the heel side back till tomorrow any last minute tips?
Only go as fast as you feel is necessary. Usually 18mph is good, no faster than 19, unless you're a pretty big dude.
Hi Shaun!
Yo Jerr to the Sather! FIRST 🙋🏼♂️
@@Shaun.Murray 🎤 "Allow me to re-introduce myself....." 🎶
What do you mean by edging at the bottom of the wake? Thats the only thing im confused about.
If your board is pointing at the boat when standing behind the boat, it's in a channel of water that is going in the same direction as the boat. That is not edging. When you begin to cut away from the direction of the boat, more importantly, against the direction the rope is pulling, you need your channel of water to tilt away from the direction of the boat, so you lean against the line, your heels or toes dig into the water and you are riding on the board's edge. That is where wakeboarding and towed watersports are different from most other action sports that use ramps to get into the air. We have a different set of physics and edging is one of the unique things we get to use. Hope that helps
@@Shaun.Murray That helps a lot thank you!
I must learn and land a flip before I die….
It CAN be done!
@@Shaun.Murray I need your help
Line Length and Speed?
Depends on the rider, boat, board size. Most people can learn to flip at 18ish mph
How good do you have to be to do this??
Depends on your invert experience. If you can comfortably flip then you don't have to be that great.
Lol. Thumbs down twice
😉
