This video has helped me more than any other so far! I'm a casual rider. Can only make it to the lake every other weekend and maybe get 30 minutes of ride time each trip. But since I've been watching your videos my progression as a rider has improved 10 fold! You sir....are a God send!
Your the wakeboarder that got me to start wakebording thank you now I can do back rolls and board grabs and I’m gonna try this Saturday I’m gonna try sending a tantrum
Just to be sure, you're having trouble w heelside jumps? To have Toeside and not heelside is quite the opposite of most people but about 1 out of 100 can do toeside better than heelside at first. Either way, check this video out and see if it helps your overall understanding... ua-cam.com/video/eSJPitLMRY8/v-deo.html
Hey Shaun , when i get outside of the wake and try to cut back to cross over the wake there is such a dead spot and slack in the line i dont get any pull from the rope til im about 2 feet from the wake . This is about 18 -20 mph , rope is 65 feet behind a yamaha jet boat with a tower...ive tried short approach from 5 feet out of wake to way outside of the wake , this is both on toeside and heelside approaches and still same result...and i dont make my turn like Wally does either
You have to cut out, surf for a second or two, and let the physics slowly start pulling you in (you feel when the rope gets tighter it will start pulling you back, when you feel this you can increase your edging until and through the wake.
Tie'n high isn't necessary but can def help in not feeling pulled down. Allows beginners to learn to get up with less effort bc of the upward pull. Allows people getting into the air a bit easier. But not totally necessary so don't let it stop you if you can't tie high.

Great to hear. That’s the reason we put it together in the first place.
Thanks for all your videos and keeping wakeboarding alive. Wakeboarding and working on my old X2 are my two favorite things to do in life.
I have the original detention video on a DVD signed by you
What's a DVD? 😂 Let alone a VHS Tape! Thanks for sharing!

Love the feedback! Glad to hear I’ve inspired you to some degree.
Keep them coming
You have the best way to explain
Wondering if you make all this for cable park or if this is applicable for cable parks ? Let me know thanks
When can land my toe side fine, but my heel side is much harder to land any tips

Hey. How much do the rope placement on the boat do? Mounting it up high on a targa rail, vs down on the boat.?

Awesome thanks
As a pilot I can confirm landing takes more finesse then takeoff still working on my wakeboard landings tho
Right on Luke! check this out... ua-cam.com/video/eutuabWcKMk/v-deo.html
Pleas, once all of these vids are posted, teach to do the tail slide used in the intro.
I’ll keep that in mind Zack
I’m trying to learn two tricks do you have any suggestions for a trick to learn after the tantrum?
Have you learned to go Toeside wake to wake? bc a lot of people skip that. What about all of your 180’s
I just haven’t tried to go right foot forward off the wake if that’s what you mean
I have a video that I’ve made if you wanna check it out it’s one of the best runs I’ve ever had

Oh and by the way I have a hyperlite Belmont 136 board it’s been around sence I learned to get up not in the video though
What is your recommended rope length
For the one wake jump drills, about 17 mph is good for most boats.
420
Wait where are all the in-class skits like where he throws the apple and that nice asian woman saying “Wake jump! :D”?
Hey I do fly planes lol
