not a back roll a flip, you do it as the boat turns so the wake is steep, the object is to do the flip not go wake to wake. small cut in one hand on the handle pop of the wake and chuck yer b@llocks over your head.

the way i see it, if i had as much water time as the guys in the US then i would try progressing trick by trick, by i enjoy trying stuff out.

the ts back is an easy invert to do as most of us do it off the side of the swimming pool on holiday, and it doesnt require wake 2 wake jumping

so no you didnt read it wrong

Chaters - I shall be there on Sunday. Was there last Friday, but the weather was ****e. I was the only rider on the damn lake, and I still couldn't throw it. Then the thunder & lightning came in...

I have thrown them before (not too well) at one of the raley clinics, and another time with Zane shouting abuse.. I mean encouragement through a megaphone

You should come down any time... Zane, Craig, Scotty & Dave are generally around for advice on inverts, and there'll be less carnage & bodies in the water than at raley clinics... then again, the clinics are good for the peer pressure.

Cool. I'll try and get there this coming weekend, and the one after that... they are having a fun comp on Friday 15th, too, in the evening.

I still struggled yesterday, but I now have a wakeboarder's tan... arms & shoulders lobstered, chest & back still white from the impact vest 8)

Raleys - Only tried to throw thema couple of times, mostly abortive, so still need more work. I'm just rubbish at the moment. I think I may need a week's holiday again, stay at a cable and just practice that. Was really pleased to see a guy I met there a couple of months ago landing inverts. He's only been riding 7 weeks, but a complete natural wih excellent balance. He'll be someone to watch in the future I reckon.

chaterboy,

I'm happy to add a new forum to the system if someone is up for moderating it? Any takers?
