Backflip, weeee

Does anybody have pictures of some backflips off boat wakes? That would seem easier than a flatwater off your own wake.

That is a trick I would learn before a flatwater backy I'd think...

they dont hurt if you don't let go and keep your feet in holds. IMO you don't need a helmet, what can actually hit your head? ....apart from water.
Serious engine power and serious trim. I've just fitted an xft trim on stock hull and got all the way round today, not enough to ride out, but facing the same way.......
A backflip is all in the head. Once you suck up the courage and commit to trying one, you'll realise that u cant hurt yourself, and then your away.
I started doing them on flat water before in surf. Surf is relatively easy to do them cos the wave does the work, but the sheer height and inherent danger makes it difficult to learn cos your brain is saying "dont be so f*****g stupid.

if your arms are braced ready for it, they shouldn't give way.
if your feet are in holds and both arms on bars, nothing can hit you.
This is exactly my point, its 100% in the head..... its a leap of faith...
Its best to start by just simply jumping up and landing flat on your back with the ski above you, you need to believe that it won't hurt.
You need massive power. I'm a big lad so maybe i need more than some, i've got a stock stroke Lamey powervalve.

Those weren't very good. It was only for downhill though as your chain is spinning too fast to move on the cassette.
I agree, it sucked for the most part.
