Looking for an old issue of Wakeboarding? From our killer Photo Issue to our Board Buyers Guide, we try to keep copies going back at least one year so we can help you out if someone snags your copy or you just didn't make it to the store before the magazines were sold out...

Back Roll
1. I like to teach people HS back rolls without the wake at slower speeds so they really learn how the pop and rotation work. Air tricks are a great eye-opener for that. 2. Keep the approach small so you're forced to edge...

Backside Lipslide
1. Try sliding in the back lip position in the middle of the two wakes at 10 to 12 mph before you try it at full speed on the lip of the wake. 2. It helps to use the handle to move your body and work the wake...

So far, we've showed you how to build a rail and get a good approach into it so you can stay on. Now let's move onto something that's a little more tech: the back lip. Take a mellow edge into the rail...

Learn a Toeside Backroll



MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE FLASH 4 PLAYER





Rider: Casey Martin



Level: Intermediate



Take a slow, progressive cut from about halfway away from the wake...

Like everything else, the roll to blind uses the progressive edge into the wake. But don't get on it like a hell cut; you only need to start about 2 to 3 feet outside the trough. Pull the handle with both hands into your lead hip as you come off the top of the wake...

Nearly 99 percent of the people learning back rolls come to us having the same problems in the air, but the problems really originate at the wake. Before you learn to do a back roll right, you have to take a step back, learn to turn slowly, edge through the wake, and feel the energy...

It helps first of all if you can do a handle-pass 360, in the same direction you're attempting the mobius, and a regular roll-to-revert. Make sure those are solid before attempting your mobes. Begin with a mellow progressive heelside approach as if doing a wake-to-wake roll to revert...

Notice immediately how Tara takes a clean, progressive, toeside edge into the wake, standing as tall as possible. That's the key to this trick. Many people have problems with this move at first because they break at the hips during their approach...

Begin on your heelside edge and take a progressive approach into the wake, standing as tall as possible to ensure maximum lift. As you leave the wake, push the board up and away from the boat. Imagine being in a tube with the board going completely around the tube; your hips and handle are the center point of the rotation...

It is easiest to learn this trick wake to wake, so begin with a narrow progressive approach on your heelside edge. After leaving the wake, start your rotation by aggressively pulling the handle with your lead hand through the small of your back and then pushing your wrist to your far hip...
