sup guys... was wondering at speed do you guys ride? I think i ride at like 23-24mph generally and when hitting rails, a little slower. Wot about you guys? wake to wake and rails? all the same speed or what? _________________ ripped riders yah?

i find that behind the seadoo i have to ride faster because of the pull on the ski when cutting, it just seems to slow it down so i ride a bit faster, about 23 behind the ski and 22 behind the boat, i used to ride at like 19-20 last year when i first started riding, but i get more pop and consistency riding faster. my 2 cents. _________________ -Jordan Schwaller

Only if you want to be exactly like everyone else.
Ride where you feel comfortable.
I get made fun of for how slow I ride. _________________ √ |

thats true, but i never took into consideration how much it slows down when i cut. so maybe if i tell my friends to go 23 ill end up going 20. i dont riding slow but, it starts getting bad when i cant pop anything out of the water. then again, i am a noob at wakeskating still. |

canalskater, Can you varial heel and switch frontside flip?
We've got enough negativity in wake sports without cutting down each other's riding. I respect blood, even if he chooses to ride at 18-19 mph. _________________ √ |
