Just thought I'd share. <BR> <BR>I've been spending considerable time on the ts edge with wake jumps and increasing my comfort level all around - feeling pretty good. Did a few 1 wake ts 180s and then tried it w2w - stuck it on the first attempt and hit it 3 more times in the same set. Yeah! Progress is good. <BR> <BR>next: hs fs 180 and more work on the backroll. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by tparider on February 19, 2004)

congrats
|
you are soo lucky you can already ride
|
hahaha - I can't say I'm not happy about that Andrew. We actually haven't really stopped riding at all this season. I did go 3 weeks once (late January) without making it out, but when it's 75 degrees out, it's hard to avoid the water...
|
I'm jealouse of all you people riding year round. We in Utah get the snow(sometimes)for a different type of board. Still rather be on the wake board. keep up the good work on the 180's.

i was working on my ts jumps the whole day last week and stuck my 1st 180 wtw also. I agree, when it is 80 outside and the last is 78 it is hard to avoid.
|
should i get good at riding switch before i try my first 180?
|
you don't add to a post that is over 3 months old. <BR>but yes riding switch will help
|
Matt, that's kind of funny. You added to this thread when it was about 2 months old (from feb 22 to your post on April 17) however you dig on him for posting when it was 3 and a half months old. So, what is the rule? 2 months, 3 months, 4 months... the answer... <BR>Give the person a break, there is no formal rule as to when you can reply to something. If it is applicable, there is nothing wrong with replying rather than starting a new thread. <BR> <BR>Sheesh, forum police... can't we just talk about wakeboarding? <BR> <BR>(Message edited by Schmo on August 01, 2004)

Do you think that a hs or ts 180 is easier to acomplish first? <BR> <BR>Ive been attempting hs for two sessions and i always get the rotation and hieght strong, but when i land i end up sliding out and sitting down on my ass or something like that... <BR> <BR>any ideas (i can do one wake in and out 180's and ollie both swith and regular) <BR> <BR>thanks, <BR>jb <BR> <BR>i only have 3 - 4 months riding so i envy all of ya!

Toeside is way easier for your first 180. When you jump toeside, your board wants to go in that direction. I actually learned w2w ts 180's before a learned a straight ts w2w. You dont even have to have good pop or anything with it either. Just take a nice cut towards the wake, just enough to catch a little air. twist at the hips and let go with your front hand. And the landing is much easier going toeside, because you are landing heel edge.
|
I guess, I should have clarified. That was instructions for doing a 1 wake 180. But that would get you comfortable landing it. Once you got that, then you want to take a progressive edge to go w2w.
|
After reading all of the posts here i am consitantly landing my hs fs 180's oddly enough i landed my first couple by taking off switch... thanks for all the advice
