Ya'll are riding in some chop too. I wouldn't have even gotten in that mess.

Props

yeah i did land it . it took me like 10 times but i finally pulled it off. the wind in west texas is always blowing so u just get used to it but it wasnt bad today. im gunna try to post some videos of some of them bc the one i landed first was way way out in the flats but it is on a camcorder so i have to get the tape put on a cd

I got an 02' Tige direct drive and have 1100 pounds in the back and about 700 pounds in the front, the wake is pretty nice.

Sick bro, congrats. There is nothing like the feeling of stomping your first invert/spin.

yeah i think it was a loud off of my shoulders but i just need to start landing them every time. i have a cast on my right hand so my lefty gets tired really fast so its hard to hold on. im also not sure what invert to try next after i dial this one. im thinking a hs or ts backroll. but dangit a huge raley would be the best!!!

Wes, I'd go HS BR next...but Raley's are all about Sackin' up and trying it. They are so rediculously easy. I've tried about 4 Raley's and the falls have not been bad *FOR ME.* I"m guessing I'll land it in the next two.

I have a friend who thinks the raley is the easiest 'invert' to do. Good luck.

thanks dan
today i threw two in a row and went big on both of them. then i almost murdered some dumb motherf#@$$# (slamomer) who sprayed my whole boat crew and almost ran me over doing it but the funny thing is i know where he lives.

With a cast-Crazy. I though it was a blue glove on your back hand but that makes snese now.

yeah all the ladies love my blue dish glove and duct tape that i use to cover my cast. but hey whatever works!!!!

It's easy to recognize the textured surface of BSL. Congratulations on the Tantrum. You should check out the Texas Tech Waterski Team. If you wanna learn some new tricks I would definetly recommend it. Shoot me an email if you are interested.
