good size be 4ft or so??? not backflip size????

Thats what I prefer, I did it off a bigger wave and messed it up and hurt my ankles and knees. Scary.

For flatwater it helps to use trim to setup the wake but you don't want to use it to do the trick or it slows the rotation down to much. You just aproach your wake slowly and do a small turn right into the V of the wake. (if your rollin g to the left) then turn bars to the left and pull back. Do not try and get ur wait forward till ur upside down. When upside down get it forward fast and you'll start spinning real fast.

In the surf it is very easy... The trick is to just wait till the wave is just before breaking/ in the process of curling. Almost the same time you'd hit it for a flip. Just do it like a normal roll only standing up more. The wave will throw you in the right direction. Just hold on.

The trick it to not rotate around the nose of the ski like normal but around your upper body.

got it.... thanks D.. and zach

no trim though, rite?

Parrdaddy did one on my SJ a few months ago on my ski with no trim in the surf ( 1-2' surf)

I do use my trim, Flat and surf. I call it a Flare, Bogart calls it a Twist....seems like everyone has there own name for the trick :banghead: This is what I did on the V wake at Nats, it's a fun trick, kinda dis-orienting and hard to visualize, but fun when you stick it :biggthumpup:

that's about what I expect... :biggrin:

It looked awesome thats for sure, I think it looks better than the roll.

There are two different types. There is a barrel roll with a twist and a backflip with a twist. I described a barrel roll with a twist.

Backflip with a twist is done by pulling back just like a backflip only turning bars when nose is coming up. You use trim on a backflip with a twist on flatwater.

ahh so many choices! what did bogart do at worlds? the barrel roll one, right?

wow nice, kinda to close to shore for my Preference

 

[TEEEE]

no.... your nose will face the beach when you land..

you did what I use to call a nose high roll... I've done them vertical... it looks horrible and not a fun landing either

That’s a pirouette, AKA barrel roll to azz stab. Not good.

what I did looked alot like high rollers flair (i think). I thought it was a mistake. now I see it's a trick. If I hit the wave at an angle I could have been point toward shore too.

actually, it is intersting......... may actually be harder to execute!!!!!!!
