Nailed my first 2 rolls today!

:Banane09:
Went out to Lewisville riding today, and pulled my first roll!! Even rode it out. It was actually kind of an accident. We were tailing a pretty big arse boat throwing a nice wake, and I was just planning on pulling a big nose stab. But I guess I leaned way into it! Ended up pretty much doing an inverted stab, but rotated all the way around rather than 180. So I tried one more and pretty much nailed it.:barrel:Whoo-hoo! I was always thinking I'd pull a backie before a roll, but hell. That was pretty awesome feeling. Can't wait till next time out.

The bad......2 of the other riders had major carnage today. One broke his hull, and the other put a rod through the side of his motor and starter. Bad deal.

[Swooperjet]

That will be sweet. I finally got a few still pics of some flatwater riding yesterday (just don't have them on my computer yet), but I'm going to try to get some video real soon myself.

I have been doing a lot of the 270 myself, but not the full tilt boogie...

congrates on the roll bro:arms:

 

[Swooperjet]

Thanks Larry! Glad you were there to witness the first attempt since you're the one that talked me through the "how to" last week.
Sorry 'bout your ski though!! That really really sucks!

Ouch

I'll tell ya what.....I am one sore mofo today!!! Not sure if it's from the different motion from the roll attempts or just from riding hard Saturday and Sunday. But either way, I feel like I've been hit by a bigass truck!! Man, I'm always a little stiff and sore after a weekend of riding, but not like I am today. Guess I better stay off of the ski today and relax since I start my new job tomorrow. I suppose I should be able to walk in there in the upright position! LOL!

Sick Swoop!:Banane09:
Good to hear keep it up!

nice man must feel good :headbang:!!

 

[Swooperjet]

Yeah, felt great! Now I'm just hoping it wasn't a fluke and next time out I can repeat!

 

[Crab]

Failed roll attempts take it out of me as well.....don't feel bad.

 

[Swooperjet]

Yeah....I figure the only way to nail down new things is to just keep on keepin' on, and hope ya don't bust up too much crap in the process! LOL!

 

[Proformance1]

Congrats, what a great feeling! That is exactly the way it happened to me the first time!
