Posted: May 14, 2008 9:43 pm Post subject: i/o height |
|
|
so i've got in/outs and landing them, even landed an i/o fs 180 today. my problem is they aren't as high as i'd like. i've read that i should flatten out whenever i cross the center of the wake? right now, i'm keep my edge all the way through and out of the wake. would my height increase if i flattened out halfway through and then popped off of the top of the wake? thanks. _________________ i am the bear jew |

I can never figure these out. depending on what boat im behind, on my buddies old ski boat, i can boost them high but not far. behind my boat im useless, behind my buddies cruiser i can boost them far but not high. I have no clue how it works. |

see that's something with me too. behind my buddy's sea ray, it seems like i boost them higher. behind my bay boat (200 yamaha 2 stroke), it seems like i get no height. hopefully that's my problem. tomorrow i'm going to try to just let go of my edge whenever i cross the middle of the wake. _________________ i am the bear jew |

The Captain once said something that really helped me. He said wait a half a second longer than you think you should pop it. Try it and see! _________________

MrMarbles, he was oh so correct, a lot of the time people kind of ollie over the in/out instead of launching off of it like a lil' kicker, wait a little longer and you'll pop off the lip instead of the middle of the wake. |

i would listen to ryan.
Im still trying to break the habit of flattening off and i notice the difference in pop for sure when i edge through it and pop. |

i don't know i ALWAYS used to just edge straight into it but i could never really pop that way, i guess i'll keep trying that focusing more on pop. I think it made it easier for me to just flatten off then pop making me think i'm getting higher.
definitely going to work on this saturday.
and i don't think anyone can beat lemons |
