Barrel Roll Wannabe Club :: Admission is One Video

Yeah, we thought that 760 ran real good, then we took it apart, did some wicked port work, and put it on set of 62t cased with v-force reeds. WOW:bigeyes: That answered the x vs. t for me! T CASES KICK A$$ :arms: It also helps that the FX-1 has one of our superjet pump conversions.:woot:

I did a complete flatwater roll the other day. No take off wake!! I found an immediate difference by doing what freestylegeek said...........put the pole on the hood and tuck hard. Also look over your opposite shoulder............I roll right so look over your left shoulder. It works. I did a full rotation and I was spinning fast :Eyecrazy: :puke: Hopefully I am out of the habit of trying to roll like I do a stab.

This is new....you're saying if I roll to the left, I should be looking over my right shoulder?

Sounds nut but it works. When you look over the opposite shoulder you twist you body which will give you more of a roll motion. It will put you into an immediate spin if you don't wuss out first and if you are tucked.

Once you get acustomed to rolling you may just be able to roll blindly but it definatly make you spin

I will give that a try.
I have been attempting rolls pretty regularly lately. Yesterday I tried a few off cruiser wakes.
I could only get inverted - maybe a couple degrees past that.
I can stab fairly well off those wakes already. For the roll attempts, I put the pole on the hood and try to do the body english more abrupt I guess.
The rotation is definetely snappier, and I am flatter (not nose-down like for a stab).
But, I lack rotation.

Try to first keep the ski centered under you. SuperJett took some shots of my roll attempts and I was way off the boat and far back in the tray. Once I tucked in and positioned myself over the bars looking over the opposite shoulder did not feel awkward and I rotated so fast I though I was going to yack. This was all flat water........not even off my own take off wake. Once I start hitting that I think I will be able to roll high enough to slow my rotation down and keep from getting dizzy. Once I did it I came into shore and was like........"That was a full Rotation!!!!" Jett was like: I did not see it I was looking through the camera. :banghead: So unless I can come up with proof I guess it did not happen :haha:

disclaimer:
I can't ride a ski with a pole, it's not my ski, and my set up wake sucks.


about the only good thing is I had decent speed.

I think you're rolling the wrong way!!! :biggrin:

I have never heard of looking over the opposite shoulder before---was always told to try to look under the ski in the direction of the roll.

Also---never have really tried any flatwater rolls---only in the little bit of surf we get up here in the Riviera. (Redneck Riviera, that is.)
