Wake 2 Wake Ollie

[j3r3m7]

I'm having trouble getting the landing right on a wake 2 wake wakeskate ollie. My major problem is that I my feet tend to come together on the landing... then I do a comical slam and the board shoots off into the distance.

I can manage ollies 2/3 of the way across ok, and even the odd 180 and grabs. Any suggestions?

hey, i would attempt to get the handle closer in as u jump and then as u land just spread ya legs like a good 'un!

jesus christ, I'd ignore that advice if you don't wanna tear yourself a second asshole!!
Hit the wake like you would on a wakeboard, and when your in the air, have your deck at a 30 degree angle so your front foot is higher than your back. This angle will allow the wind to push the board up to your feet, making it stick easy and your feet should stay in the same place from start to finish. If they're not, then you need to control your legs more, stop dancing in the air!! Absorb the landing and ride away! have fun.

Ouch :?

I've kind of got the ollie technique happening but it fails on the last 2-3 foot or so. I'll try to suck those legs further up to get more pressure on the board and see what I can do with the air too... tah chaps.

I think it is just a matter of time, Like sim said though keep it into the wind maybe even pop that bit harder as you come up the wake, after a while you will easily clear both wakes.

when i first started to clear the wakes i really cut quite hard into the wake to generate speed but then i found popping a bit harder with less of an edge was way better, plus you are in better control.

I do the same as Mr Bastardos. I let off my edge slightly just before the wake. If I hold the same edge I do on my wakeboard I just can't land em as the board seems to come away from my feet. It's probably lack of technique on my part but it works for me.
