damn matt you type faster than me ;), anyway I agree totally on the form issue, I am working hard every weekend to get better, but damn as much as I think I am doing the right thing when I am doing it, I rehearse it in my mind as I'm approaching the wake. and low and behold when I look at my helmet cam footage and I am not actually doing anything I know I need to do. Any suggestions?

The straight pull doesn't have the pully. I thought that was just the easy pull one. I tried Josh's straight pull and it is way easier to pull. Maybe its the fancy lever.

I can't pull the Thrust EZ Pull under throttle, either. You HAVE to be off-throttle.
On the plus side, I figured out I can flip off boat wakes just fine without trim. A couple of weeks ago I was going for a flip and had throttled up before pulling the trim, so I went for it without. Worked fine!

You have a freak...that ski can backflip off anything. I have ridden them and done it first hand. My first flatwater backies were on one. I'm jealous that you have one if you can't tell...

I'm jealous too whenever I see it sitting in the garage. Then I remember it's mine! :biggrin:
I love that thing.

Jetmaniac 710 setup, b-pipe, skat mag 144 setback with 13/18 impeller.im getting 7/8 rotation now on about 1/3 of my roll attempts, although some go straight up and not out. With backies I am not throwing my head back enough. Im a Backsplatter. Once I get my rolls down I am going to try and develop a reasonable form.

I have been thinking about it...Dasa!!! But I think a different cyl will help. According to Fred its just not the right one for me. I think some ported cases and cyl would help. Or live a little and just get the thrust setup....hmmmm.

Just glued the flat washer on top of the nozzle... we shall see how long it lasts. It stops the nozzle at the correct spot.

I don't think that is possible on flatwater with that setup. V-wake for sure. Then again Lucas might be able to do it...hahaha.

Lucas said he nosed them in with that setup like yours.
I can see it happening with a short pole and lots of technique
