Zane, theres a thread on blueprinting the pump in the Tech FAQ section, it will tell you everything you need to know, very simple... I can see it being a benefit for FW BFs for hookup in your setup wake...

I watched lee stones BF quite a few times, it looks like he uses his trim system in this fashion... pull it a little before you get to your launch wake and then let it down as your approaching the face so the front of the ski goes down and then give it a good pull as you launch, it seems like it would help with rotation... watch the video and you'll see what im talking about because i dont think i articulated it that well... i have yet to try a FW BF because my ski is in pieces and all I had last year was an sxi pro /w a race motor....

Ill be trying the FW BF until the lake freezes over this year... i think power plays a bigger part in this trick than in any other trick, skill being the most important however...

Diddy, you ROCK man!!
You're definitly getting up there.
That pic of your nose hitting is inspiring. :biggrin:
I think if you start getting the Malone "kick the tray away" style landing, you might be able to nose one in!!

Keep goin man!!

I'd prefer to smash my nose/face against a brick wall and sniff 2 cups of water than attempt a flat water backflip. I could get the same symptoms as a real life attmept, yet I'd be one better off by still being dry.

I feel like I'm about 2 years away from getting the next 90 degrees. In all reality, I'm only probably 3 years behind Malone now :rolleyes: if I could just do everything else that he can :haha:

Maybe in dog years!
You're close, you just need to work out a couple of bugs.
I think all you really need is for me to come ride with you and push you over the edge. :bs2:

Well I only got a 550, so I think me trying to do a BF off of a boat wake is the same as you guys trying to do a flatwater BF.... Once the ski is done, I'll get my parents to take their carver out and video tape, and I'll hurt myself, it will be a good video even if I don't do it! Nothing beats watching someone bite it hard! (well other than watching someone pull it off on a stupid 550)

I think you missed the comedic value there. If I really wanted to try it, and thought I had a boat powerful enough to do it, believe me, I'd have a go.
