I'm too scared to do a superman

[yamaslut]

Hey--don't be embarrassed to try it--me, chris, ratti, and autumn all practice barrel rolls and backflips over our couch!!! (much alcohol has usually been consumed though):biggrin:

I was doing em off the diving baord into a pool... it a wierd feeling off a board

lol, I had loads of trouble learning this trick, bruised shins, split chin.
I eventually learnt to do it by first doing a can can out to the side, I kept doing this until I got used to the sensation of hanging of the back of the ski. It hurts a lot less if you get it wrong when your legs are out to the side, once i'd mastered this I went back to doing a normal Superman.
I'll try and find a picture.

one way to do it is when you jump of the back, kick the ski sway from you almost like you are throwing it away but hold on the the bars, mine are screwy.......... I dont to them to land back in the tray before I hit the water......... when the ski hits the water it is verticle...........but as soon as you enter the water you end up back on the tray and ride out..................... only thing I worry about is ripping the pole bracket off the ski............. That why I have not done one in almost a year......

a long time ago stoyer told me he built a little rig for a trampoline that emulated a poleski sort of.. so he could practice BR's and BF's at home on the trampoline.. i remember him describing it to me a long time ago.. never actually saw it tho.. would be interesting to try that thing out...

funny how people train/practice at home.. it all sounds so stupid when you post it on the internet tho.. hahaha.

I saw it when I was down in Ft Laurdedale. It was like some kind of bottom with 247 footholds mounted to it and a pole....Said he wanted to actually extend it and put a real pole on it....pretty cool

since my grass has decided to not cooperate, I'm putting my trampoline back up... I'll think I'll make a contraption like that for fun...

I'm sure he knows, just tell him I hope he makes it up

just start off small and work your way up. When i first started trying supermans they were gay but after time i got a better feel for it and could get my feet out further and back in the tray. It just takes time
