Got the W2W and 180s and getting better @ Blinds and riding switch. I have not landed the backroll yet(keep slipping out), but I do not have the PNP bags installed yet so I think it will come when I get a little more weight in the boat!

@ amsugg - Thanks...I might have to take you up on the offer. I only have 1 vid of the failed backroll and it is grainy. My buddy dropped my iphone in the drink last Aug. so we haven't taken any more videos. I do have some of the Learnwake tutorials and I think I have my problem fixed on the load and release. We will see next week, but I need to add the PNP ballast before trying any more flip tricks!!!

don't make ballast your crutch, i watched an episode of pull where they had an old school competition. old boat, old one direction wake boards, and they still threw down some nasty tricks. i mean this in the nicest way

Double ups are one of my favorite things about Wakeboarding. Getting booted 8 to 10 feet in the air just feels awesome. Here's a pic my girlfriend snagged today off the double up, just went for an indy grab, as I didn't feel like smashing my face today on a roll to revert. Unfortunately, I took it into the flats and now my right shin is sore

I'm about 6'3", for some perspective.

As far as skill level goes, I can do the basic inverts, HS front flip, and occasionally can land a Whirlybird, but I really need to stop going for the super technical tricks and focus on riding switch and getting all of my 3s down.
