Can go w2w consistently HS and TS (finally) but generally feel like there isn't much air. Once or twice I can tell I've gotten really booted, but am having trouble finding the feel for getting all of the pop. Anybody have a tip, or a thought they keep in mind while cutting in that helps get the body position and timing right? <BR> <BR>Typical jump for me: <BR>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdXY_j6tt34 <BR> <BR>(Message edited by evadehickman on June 10, 2009)

If you have access to a place that sells books read the latest Wakeboarding Magazine. They break it down pretty well. <BR> <BR>Key points are <BR> <BR>1) Dont bend your knees too much when coming at the wake. Just more work and timing involved when you get to the wake. <BR> <BR>2) It all comes down to tension on the rope. As you come towards the wake you want a nice steady build up of tension. By the time you get to the wake you want to feel like you are trying to pull the boat back. Its like a tug of war. <BR> <BR>3) Look at the top of the wake. It helps you time it better. <BR> <BR>4) When you get to the wake you want <BR>a) to straighten out your legs <BR>b) keep your chest high <BR>c) arms straight but close to your hips <BR>d) push your hips forward <BR> <BR>If you lift weights it almost is like doing a rack pull (top portion of the deadlift) <BR> <BR>From looking at your video it looks like the problem is you arent building up enough tension.

You look good for the most part. The thing I notice is you let the wake knock your knees up a little. Whenever your knees come up like that, they're just absorbing the pop you would be getting. Just stand tall, lock those knees and you'll feel that nice floaty pop!
