WB1 Fountain-How do you get over the bars with out bailing.

[monoshock]

I can climb on from the front with out the ski running then start it and ride a fountain for a long time, maybe 2-3 min long with out loosing it, but getting over the bars in motion is what I need help on.

Tips, suggestions, videos, pictures that might help.

Keep the speed up!!!

You can barefoot on the side of the ski too !!

I thought flat water tricks in the surf were your specialty?

i'm just giving him the mandatory "Dont do it" speech.

i also highly encourage him to "FIGHT THE POWER"... specially around surf-only guys.

i think jumping on the nose mid air and landing doing a fountain is a surf worthy move. :fing02:

make sure you take pics and vid.

[WaveDemon]

i still want to see the pics/vids of the guy that said he wanted to launch his sj (or was it a blaster?) and have the ski do a BR in the air under him and then land it???

who was that?

i'm sure it *is* possible... i just want to see someone else try it first. :smile:

it was an x2.

here you go saki

I don't live near waves so I will just tell you guys.

You hit the wave, push down on one side of the ski to make it do a barell roll. But instead of you rolling with it, you do a nothing. I would call the trick a ski flip. I think it could be done on an X2. Just push down on one tray and bars while yanking up on the other side handle bar. Would suck if it didn't rotate all the way around though. One of these days I will pull it!

should be called rehab :-), after first attempt you will need 6 months to recover from broken bones. :brap:

I usually just scramble on the front from the water. I have got on the hood a few times though. I usually snag the tether on the way over the bars. Do most people run without one? I'm still holding onto the bars on most of my wipeouts.
