Surfriding How not to do tricks

[btmboards]

Here uploaded theses to vizeo to show someone and decided might at well post them here too.
The first two are my first and only 2 tries at a blackflip so far and the 3rd was a try at a nose stab. Taken this morning (first shot was yesterday)
You cant tell but on the second one I was barley able to kick the ski away from me far enough not to land directly on me. I curled into a ball in the water and it just clipped my feet. Might be time to duct tape my hands to the bars....

LOL!! at :10 YOU SCREAMED like a lil girl... awesome... You're almost there!! lets try again tommorrow!

Haha I thought wbout taking that sound out all together since I was already draining out the sound of most of me cussing. I feel like I always sound like a girl in videos. You almost purposely make weird sounds sometime when you dont think anyone can hear you. If people heard some of the sounds I make inside my street bike helmet.... now that would be something.
Anyways, little more gas money Ill get back out and try again. but hold on for dear life.

You need to hit the wave later and hang on!!!

Your halfway there already. Just commit!! thats the hardest part

Stop Letting Go!!!!!

That was fun to watch and looked like you were having a blast. Looks like you ride with a good crew too, since they always made sure you were ok.

LOL awesome props for trying. I did that a few times then started wearing gloves and it helped me hang on the ski much better.

Well, if you hold on it will not be any worse than letting go haha... Thanks for the entertainment though!!

Ya the one I think I let go not really thinking about is but the first try there was no holding on. I got ripped off. I will try hitting it at the last min next time. And your right that fully committing part is harder than it seems.
SXIpro, Ya they are all good (Oside Crew and surrounding area), I have definitely gotten pulled out of some pretty tough situations on multiple occasions

Its taken me two years of attempting backflips to commit.

Its wayyyyy easier when you do!

Wish i wouldve committed earlier.
