can you 360 on water skis without letting go of the rope or going off a seperate jump, just by going off the wake?

depends what type of waterskis you have. If you didnt want to let go of the rope do you mean like passing it behind your back. I guess you could just hold the rope behind your back with one arm and then spin that way and unravel it.

its def possible, ive seen my dad do it. he used to be obsessed with waterskiing, they used to do pyramids n stuff, i always thought it was pretty dumb when i was younger, cuz i thought wakeboarding was the only cool thing to do behind a boat, but now i appreciate it much more. and yes its possible. its also possible to stop the boat abruptly right after you hit the wake so the skier lands IN THE BOAT. how fucking crazy is that.

Depends on the skis you have, but most combo bindings are way too loose...you'd pop right out..check out

P.S. they used duct tape to secure the bindings.

all you do is hold the rope above your head...that way you're arms don't twist the rope just goes over itself, not a big problem

first off - trick skiing = GAY
trick skis are the water equivelant of snowblades...
they ahave NOTHING to do with newschoolskiing and are for neon wearing oakley razor sporting dorks...
Get a wakeboard and have fun, it will help your style and skiing more than
"trick skis"

i've seen it done plenty of times of jumps, not of a wake but i don't see why that would make much difference. if you spin left just start of with the rope in your left hand behind your back.
you'll need good bindings
