I can successfully clear the wake with and without 180's on both heelside approaches, and I'm beginning to get some tremendous pop, but I don't know how to learn some new tricks. I ride at 22mph and added 5ft onto the 60ft rope that I was used to just for kicks. I've tried 360's and backflips for the past 3 years and haven't landed either very easily, but I also never changed the rope length or boat speed. If I am now used to a 65 ft rope, can anyone recommend if I should change the length or the boat speed when trying to learn 360's and tantrums for example? Is learning to ride at 70ft going to help me in any way? Thanks, thomas

It's all about where you are comfortable. I learned 360s and tantrums at 70 feet. But as you get better you'll want to spend more time in the air. I like riding faster to, but sometimes you have to add more weight to maitain a good wake.

I would say ride what you usually ride. Dont change it up cause you want to learn something new.
