more air

[wake_ripper_chic]

Ok, i have been wakeboarding a couple summers now, i'd say i am ok... i know how to jump the wake and i can land a 180... but i really think i could land more awesome tricks if i could get more air on the wake. i can get about 3 maybe 4 feet off the wake, and thats about it, which doesn't leave me a lot of room to attempt any cool tricks. So, if there is someone out there who has mastered the skill of jumping... please give me so tips on how to catch more air! 8)

Hard to do on the forum. Buy a day with a coach. Lots in the WA area. It is money well spent and your riding will improve dramatically with the pointers they offer.

thanks... i have recently signed up in a wakeboard/ski club, and as a member i get free lessons, so i will talk to them about jumping

my only reccomendation is to not be afrade of speed, carve in as hard as possible and just launch yourself, overexurtion is the key

cutting in harder works really well.... i almost cleared the wake

Wake has alot to do with it. I find that if the wake isnt peaked out i cant get much hight. The bigger and more peaked the wake is without washing over the higher you can go. try some weight or wakeplate is possible
