Turn slide (hockey stop)

[Dirtybird]

I love doing these. ok. Must be done on flatwater or very small chop not to break an ankle or twist a knee.

Ride at any speed on plane. The faster you go the more vulnerable you are to getting hurt, with most any trick.
Let off the throttle. Then turn fully to left or right and go to WOT just enough to get the ski to turn 90 degrees. While doing this lean into the turn so the ski is laying almost flat to the water (Picture hockey stop here) The ski will skip or slide until you come to a stop or you turn the bars the other way and hit the throttle to straighten out. You can go really far and is a really fun 'trick' !
Anyone with some suggestions or better ways to explain, feel free to post. :cool2:

I think this is a Kawi thing.
My 750sx will do it,
but my SN just slides sideways:Banane01:

one of the first things i learned, on plane turn to stop, throttle, lean, letoff when sliding, prepare to countersteer, lean back to the center, throttle till the way you want to go and hold it on. bonus points for shooting water in the air. go full 180 to tailstand then theres many tricks that can evolve from that. high siding is fun, youll get BUCKED!

On flatwater I go full speed do a small s turn and let off the gas... you will slide into a 180... just make sure you lean over the bars... it's just like doing a 180 on a couch, but more fun...

in the surf this is fun as ********:
You can head straight at a and wave and about 10-15 before it slide into a 180 and let the wave hit you and power out down the face of the wave or even when the wave is kinda sucky do that into the whitewater... the water will lift the back up and just get on the gas quick so the wave doesn't munch ya..

Love the X2:headbang: I can't wait to get back on the water this year:Banane01:

On a SXR...make sure your feet are in the back of the tray or it will stay hooked up and throw you! But still lean all the way forward. :headbang:

[Duster8]

i could do this on a 550. but seems like superjet is much harder..

[Zerfman34]

ya for sure...also if you don't get all the way to the back you can dig in really hard like spraying somebody while snowskiing.

on that note i freakin hate when people spray actual people in the water like i just said. all it takes is one retard on a couch and you become an organ donor...

[SXRguyinMA]

my SXR does this easily...should be even easier with the -4" hull now!!

[dbrutherford]

They are pretty easy on an X2.

I got WOT, let off a little, turn the bars all the way to one side, nail the gas some to get teh ski to turn, lean into the slide, then do whatever you wish from there. I used ot be able to do them into tail stands, full 360's, throws, ect...

All these tips are spot on.

lol i tried this for the first time on my sit down today. ive dont it a couple times unintentionally but it was at very low speed. when i was doing them today it ended up being more like 180 slides then getting hit in the face by my wake. fun, but cold when cruising wet. cant wait to try on a stand up when i get mine
