V-Wake Backflips on the Columbia

[Matt_E]

LOL, I don't even know these people. But I was riding with someone that does sort of know them, and he is supposed to get me in contact with them. :biggrin:

[NJrider]

so whats the word matt. any luck on the footage?

 

[Matt_E]

Not yet, unfortunately.
Boardmember matt333 sort of knows one of the girls that was one the boat, but hasn't been able to get a hold of the camera owner yet.

 

[Matt_E]

Nice riding and pics! One pic looks like you are going to hit the bridge!

Was your rideplate a dcut stocker, I had the same thing happen to me. For extreme riding, I now find old school protec and other a/m plates and dcut them. More money but way stronger.

If you are new to double boat (v-wake), try having the boats closer together for a more vert backy style wave or farther apart for a more rampy (less vert) wave.

Hey Chris,

I have indeed switched to an old Rand rideplate that I cut to fit. I may have something else coming, we'll see.

And you're also spot on about the boat wakes. Two weeks after those pics were taken, we had another session where the boats were closer and I landed two flips (even over-rotated). Again, no trim.

You also go alot higher without trim.

 

[Matt_E]

Can't say, never tried it with trim. But I assure you that I got plenty high. :biggthumpup:
