Did about 4 attempts on xj's BOB yesterday, Pretty sick set-up

At first I was worried about staying in the holds, But I keep forgetting to look back, what else am I doing wrong?

Looks like your timing is off when you hit the wake, you are just driving right over it then trying to flip.

Go faster
Squat before takeoff, pull the pole back. You want the ski vertical before you leave the water.
As soon as you leave the water, stand up, kick your legs out, arch your back, throw your head/upper body back, and pull the pole towards you

That's Arts motor, you will have to check xj build thread, think its a 900

You are hitting the wake too late. Pre-hop to where you pop right into the pocket, then gun it.

I tried to PM but could not figure out how. munki63, I plan on getting a BOB in the next year.. does it hurt when you land upside down like that? Does the ski land on top of you or anything? I did notice the helmet! Thanks.

As long as you hang on it does not hurt at all just push's you down. I've come down from 6+ feet and wasn't bad.

Hit the throttle sooner and keep it pegged! You want to hit it before you think you need to. I've been playing with that on my two boats and it makes a big difference!
