Looking at purchasing...mostly as instructional for intermediate rider. Any input on either?

Thanks

I own both. Higher learning is the better instructional video of the two.

However there's a new one that just came out which is way better than both of them. I was watching it in my local shop last week and it rocks. It spends a lot more time of every trick and shows it from many differnt angles. Oh...hahah the advertisement is above! It's called Waketrix.

I own both too. I was more impressed with the layout of Higher Learning. I would buy that first and if you have the extra money get Detention as well.

My vote goes with Higher Education. Unless you've got ADD and need to be entertained by lame humor.

I do love how Detention shames the wake-charger. I was trying to teach one of my buddies about the progressive edge and ended sending him home with Detention;, 'look at the dude with the orange vest'....It worked, too.

Buy both. Or all three (waketrix sounds cool j-rod).

The trailer for Waketrix looks sweet...might have to look into that as well. Thanks for the feedback.

I have both as well and agree about Higher Ed being the better. That with the wake psyhics book...

I was watching the Waketrix section on TS front. It must have showed the trick more than 10 times, at different speeds, different angles, and different riders. When you press enter, it pauses the section and takes you into a special trick tip specifically about that trick. It explained the physics and theory behind it. Then it jumps back to the section you were watching.

I believe O'Brien is the money behind it. Just because Nadolski, Dallas, and Darin were the riders/demonstrators. BTW I heard that at a recent video shoot, Nadolski stomped a S-bend to OHH. Can't wait to see that. Sorry for getting off topic.
