    Big air (pop) is all about how tall you are when you hit the wake. You could have tons of edge and line tension but if you have some bend in your knees, some of that energy will be lost and your pop will suffer.

    I've been working on more edge and less speed and am clearing the wake easily. One thing I see from the Book DVD is that there are a couple of ways to do this. One rider takes a real progressive edge and leans back hard at the wake which propels him up and over to the other side. Another rider, I noticed that he does not edge progressively at all. He sets his edge fairly early then just holds it thru the wake and gets the same result. Both riders stand tall at the wake. So I am working on the second method, which is to hold a consistent edge and standing tall at the wake, and when I do it right, I easily clear the wake.

    I'm not having as much success on the toe side jumps. I have a bad habit of bending over at the waist as I approach the wake. I know what I need to do, just haven't quite gotten there yet.

    I'm sure having fun though!
