Shit man thats impressive. I'm kinda pissed i have tryed for 2 summers now this will be my third and still can't get a back roll. Thats dope you can do all that mad props because all i can do is really 1 and do grabs which is fun but it gets boreing after a day. i feel itshard to progress any pointers?

well for backrolls what i do, as im popping off the wake i throw my head  toward the tail of my board, and  for 3's i practice handle passes on land with the handle alot, when your in the air doing your handle pass it also helps to keep the handle as close as you can you your hips.  let me know how it goes dude good luck!!

yeah i will def practise that tomorrow more. My problem with the backroll i think is mainley when i pop sometimes i pop to early and only get like 3 feet of air and every once and awhile i will get the rotation then just let go of the rope i just need to be more consistant with popping on time. but thanks man i will

If wakeboarding wasn't so damn expensive I would go more.

Not a ton of people with boats.

fuuuuuck yes.  i had practice yesterday for the first time of the season.  it was 80 degrees...sunny...the water was a little chilly, but not too bad with a suit.  have it again today, but i don't know how long I'll be able to hold the fucking handle...my forearms are sore as shit...maybe i should beat it more in the off season to keep that forearm strength up.

I get to try out my brand new S4 tomorrow, I'm pumped.  As for riding, I got out for the first time over Memorial Day weekend.  Lake Erie was a wee bit chilly.

went out today with an ethiopian friend who had never been in water. When he dipped himself in off the back of the boat it was hilarious, he was screaming for his life. I got some video of it, I'll post a link when I get it up.

yeah ive been out there about 4 times, im pumped for this season.  Ive already got my 3s down more consistent.  I should land a tantrum in the next couple of times out.  Right now the water is perfect temperature.  Going to be a big summer.
