    Default Inverts

    At the ripe young age of 40 I am finally trying to land an invert. Starting out with a Tantrum and almost got it all the way around today!!! Anyone else start wakeboarding later in life and trying new things? I have been riding since I was 31, had a couple seasons off due to surgery (not from wakeboarding) and just now really wanting to land the base inverts. Keep ripping! Remember, our boats throw great wakes for boarding as well!!

    Thanks for the invite, haven't gotten my passport yet but will try and work on it this winter, congrats on the new SL, would love to get a set behind it, might just have to take you up on that , was hoping to make it out one more time this year, but with not knowing when I have to leave town again, ended up pulling bags and getting ready for winter this weekend and start getting ready for hunting season.

    I think the easiest invert to TRY is TS frontroll because you always land on your butt. The missed landings are easy on your body.
    After you get used to the pop and are getting decent air time go for the scarecrow and you will be able to land it. I think it's the easiest one to stick because you can land it poorly and butt it out.

    What are some good teaching resources for beginners? Any particular YouTube vids or channels one should key in on to shorten their learning curve?
