- HS Powerslide
1. What makes the powerslide work is a hard edge out and quick change of direction back in toward the wake. Don't just edge out and then spin the board; you might catch your heelside edge... - HS/FS 180
1. Make sure you go into the wake thinking big indy stiffy and not 180. When you get in the air, make the decision and spin on the way down by moving the handle hard back toward the wakes... - HS Front Flip
1. The key to the front flip is keeping your back shoulder closed toward the boat. If you let it open, the flip will turn into a tantrum or a frantrum. Leave the wake with your front shoulder high and your front knee up, then throw the front shoulder hard down toward the water as you close your back shoulder toward the boat... - HS/BS 180
1. Grabbing the tail of the board helps you get into an ideal backside spinning position. Try to think about doing a tail grab backside air first to set your axis. 2. Make sure you are strong at all three handle-pass options... - Indy HS/BS 360
1. Once you have indy backside airs down, this move will seem fairly easy. Commit to the backside 180 and then just move your hips one more time on the landing by moving the handle across your body and away from the wake... - HS/BS OA 360
1. The root of this move for most people is an indy glide. When you're in the indy glide position after takeoff, turn the handle down and keep advancing yourself on the rope. By turning the handle down you will force the spin and pass... - HS/FS Off-Axis 360
1. There are actually two ways you can do this move. One is by going all the way to 540 and then shifting back, and the other is just committing to a 360 off the wake. I would opt for the latter first... - HS/BS 540
1. Advance smoothly off the wake for the first 360 so the rope is not too loose when you're ready to continue to 5. You need a tight line so you can pull again to land blind and finish the 540... - HS/FS 540
1. The best tip for this 540 is to pitch over after you leave the wake and as you start spinning. Pitching the nose over and down will help you fall over your toes on the landing. 2. Make sure you keep the bottom of the board visible to the people in the boat... - HS/FS Off-Axis 540
1. This feels a lot like a heelside back roll to revert if you go off axis too much, and doing that motion will help you land the move at first. But After you land it, mellow out the flippy spin by pulling your heels down toward your butt... - HS/FS 720
1. Many riders grab this move to set the axis. Make sure you use more legs then edge on this trick to keep the line tension low and allow you to pull hard on the handle to create the slack you need to make the passes... - HS/BS 720
1. I've seen this move done two ways. Most people who land it consistently usually make the first handle pass under their butt and the second up high. I think dividing the move into two parts helps work the handle for this high-energy spin... - HS/FS Off-Axis 720
1.It helps to go more inverted on this spin. Letting your hips go above your head helps you advance and get the last handle pass. 2. It may also help to bring your front knee up as you leave the wake, kind of like a front flip... - HS Jump
1. The key to control is bending your knees before you start your edge in. If you edge in first and then bend your knees, you will go flat and lose control in the air. 2. Don't land and stop...
