Sorry wasted space on the forum. I was just excited to finally be able to start landing w2w jumps.

I understand being excited about it. It is always nice to get better. What speed /weight/rope length are you running?

If you pop with your knees when you get to the wake, you will go 10 feet past the wake.

from one newb to another

start building your toe side jumps! wasting half the set

**walb0244** · 07-12-2010, 02:18 PM

Yeah toe side will be my next adventure. Then I want to start trying to jump switch. Been trying to hit the wake harder and harder when riding switch.

I run 20 mph, no ballast (just driver and 1 passenger), using this rope

But not sure the length. I took the two 5' sections out which shortened it 10' but not sure how long the main line is.

I know I have to stand up more when I hit the wake to get pop but I just can't get it into my head to do it. I know I have to but just can't get my body to do it.

My wife got me "The Book" set and that has helped out tremendously. Best thing ever. Then put it on my IPOD so I can watch it over and over.

by no means am i a pro, just a weekend warrior. you're in a croutched position when you hit the wake, which means you will not get any pop. you don't have to hit the wake that hard/fast. try cutting half way out then with a controlled progressive edge, keep you legs straight & the rope close to your hip. progressive meaning your constantly going faster as you hit the wake. i think you'll be suprised of the pop you will get off the wake.

check out wakeboard magazines website how to section; "do less with more".

walb0244, Just learn to do a surface switch and you can hit the wake from both sides no problem.

flex, Thanks for the link. I will have to try that now.

I can go w2w but am always doing it wrong. I just can't grasp the "popping". I read the link that Flex posted and it says to stand straight. I just can't see doing that. If I am standing straight and edging, how does it pop????

I think it would be better described as "standing up straight". Riding knees bent into the wake and standing up off the top of the wake.
