alright, i oicked up a 2001 superjet 2 weeks ago. i have ridden it everyday since i got it for about 2 hours and im starting to really get the hang ofn things again(use to have an 89 650sx, what a dog). im actually really good for how long i've been riding i think. i can get some huge air off wakes, i've been runnning buoys for atleast an hour a day, and have got my carving down real nice. now when i go out i seldom fall, but ofcourse, sometime its inevitable and i take a splash. anyways, i've been trying to work on freestyle because thats what i really want to get into, and now that im launching 10 plus feet of some huge wakes comfortably, i think its time to move on to more technical things. i just ordered a go pro wide camera, so ill be able to get some video soon.
first, i need to know the right technique for setting up my own wake, i've been dragging for 50 feet, make a 90 degree turn, shoot straight real quick, make a u-turn and head right back, is this the right way to set-up my wake?
next, today i started learning turn-subs, im getting pretty close, i weight my front foot, pull an s-turn, and then lean forward, to the right, gas it and go under, still having a hard time getting it a good ways under, any tips?
im not sure what i should work on next, i've been thinking subs, hitting my set-up wakes, nose stabs, and what else is a good begginer trick?
im kind of lost when it comes to nose stabs, i can bunny hop plenty out of the water, and get pretty good height, but when it comes to brining the back of the ski around i just cant seem to do it. any pointers, i try to do a small s-turn, and bunny hop/turn sharp at the last second but the back of the ski does not want to come around and i just end up falling over sideways because im leaning forward and to the side. whats the proper technique for this? thanks in advance for the help, i looked at the tricks how-to's but it wasnt really helping?

jumping doesnt take much skill, just the balls and power, i can save most of my landings if im coming off the back. also, sometimes when i go to do a nose stab, i sometimes feel like i catch and edge and highside off the ski...? i can do a 180 no problem, i have also learned to get a decent "turn sub", when you go into a turn, lean hard to the right and forward, and submerse the ski. i've been trying the stab for awhile but i just cant get it, i just picked up a Go Pro Hero Wide a couple days ago and ill get some vid, im sure that'll help you diagnose some of my problems.
