Water Sports : How to Do a 180 Air on a Wakeboard

[BeLLiiCosE]

need more detail.

[SlickMullet]

@BeLLiiCosE not really man, it really is that simple :)

[nwek277fzx]

@BeLLiiCosE not at all. There is nothing to a 180

[driaslow]

hell yea so fuckin buttery ass

[samtheshow39]

is it possible to do many tricks on an outboard without a tower?

[PrivatePeterson]

damn it i had a good comment but i forgot it :(

[CrazySnareJerrick93]

big thing i had trouble with this trick was that i was so used to skateboarding and i would always try to land straight and i would always slip out. but now i stick it everytime wake to wake, all you gotta do is land with a little edge.

[Lizzylump]

so when do you pull? tried on trampoline and can do it easy, now got to try it on water, so when do you pull the rope in? while in the air? or right wakes tip? or where?

[BodaciousBoarder]

[jonathan6272]

[AnOceanUnseen]

[wooferpoofer]

First the awful slalom video, then a wake board video where you're trying to describe what someone else is doing.

WTF

Just let Ross describe what he's doing and you sit out, you're not an expert.

[ctpaintball23]

ok so ive been triying this the past couple days and i cant seem to get turned it feels so weird i used to skate so it was easier using my arms to spin so could taking my fins out help?

[drcoxter97]

Landed surface 1080 yesterday.

[akfoty71]

[aleidal17]

[EllisGodwin]

[tom67264]

Why do you tell people what they WANT to do? how do you know what we want? how about telling us what we NEED to do

[Ferglsharkie]

can u get air crossin the wake on 2 waterskis

[generalkyletheman]

Yeah, because you probably toeside a lot.

[generalkyletheman]

Yeah, if you jump toeside.

[WakeGirl1140]

any good tips for a backroll?

[lostMachinima]

takes a while to get down... you just gotta go balls out and start trying them

[MrRampage655]

im new to wakeboarding.. i can get up ride and go side to side. i would like help if possible on what to do next. by board is a hyperlite and on each side there are 2 fixed and one removable fin. how should i do a surface 180?

[xOGBxConnorr]

have the boat slow down to about 15 mph, and try them like that then slowly progress to faster speeds.

[sk8erk39]

if ur bad u wont b able to make it if ur going slow cus the wake gets bigger

[xOGBxConnorr]

you dont do it on the wake

you do it right in the middle of wake

[RRODnDiRtY]

First, take the fins off the board. The one fin on the bottom of the board on each side attached by two screws. Those got to go.

Then just keep your weight on your back feet and switch your legs. Make sure you always have your weight on your back leg. It really is a lot easier than it sounds.

[youtubisntavocation]

take off all removable fins, lean back as you start to turn and get turning in a fluid motion. Be ready for the shift in your weight and keep your toeside edge out of the water as you start your spin. it can either help or hurt to do it while going over or on the top of a wake because less of your board is in the water making an easier turn but harder balance.

[pballin247]

haha i can do a air 180 but i cant do a surface 180.

[WISCONSINWOODSHUNTER]

DO NOT START TOO EARLY if you do you will face plant from in the air... i did and hurt my balls:( also dont land on your heels 100% guarenteed you will not land it.

[pinkblurr11]

thanks alot :) im going to try my first 180 this weekend

[pinkblurr11]

do you use fins when doing a surface 180?

[Mrrampagej]

It's easier without fins, but you can do them with or without. I suggest removing fins, as it is easier. I took mine off today. It's a lot better without fins, and it's more fun.

[SignalSnowman]

its easier without them and you dont need fins on to ride, some just find it harder without them. i personally dont ride with fins on

[pinkblurr11]

i dont ride with fins either, but a few buddies of mine keep telling me to put them on! haha but i dont want to if it would make doing my 180 easier and plus, i ride just fine without them, do they really make that huge of a difference when edging?

[JenjuroX]

I ride with fins...however I haven't had a chance to ride without fins and I can tell you it's not very forgiving if you don't land perfect almost. I'm not very good so of course it could be just me. I'm gonna try no fins next time I go out..I get the feeling it'll be a lot more forgiving and hopefully it'll give me a little bit more slippery feel. With fins I feel stuck sometimes.

[pinkblurr11]

yeah i tried fins and everytime i hit the opposite wake after my jump i would face plant..ouch right?

[Wakeboard4Ever1111]

no, i would reccomend you taking the fins off for surface 180's and keep them off for air 180's.

[minimoto517]

i can almost get an air 180 but cant come close 2 a surface 180. do i need 2 move my weight or take out my middle fin or wat?

[Mrrampagej]

It depends which way you're doing your 180. I lean back a little to avoid catching the water with the edges of my board and turn to my left(I ride regular). Also, removing the middle fin will help.

[friggenchiggen]

ya. if u snowboard try riding switch. it will help if u cant snowboard do surface 180s and ride around 4 a while. it might feel awkward cuz it did 4 me but just keep doin it and you will get it

[option124]

were could i get a good cheap wakeboard besides ebay..

[iTzPWNstar]

academy

[Shiztacular09]

Cheap go to Big 5...but cheap means beginner boards more or less.

[InebriatedAssClown]

just landed my wake to wake 180 today...

[GSlongboarding]

Where can i get a good but low price Wakeboard? Please reply.

[roqon33]

ebay

[ambush136]

If you use two hands for the air 180 it will make the trick more difficult. Notice how awkward he looks on land compared to when he does the trick on water (with one hand).

He is right about keeping the handle close to your hip, if you do that you'll stick it every time

[moondo123456]

@ambush136 two hands is a lot easyer in my opinion

[tstep13]

yeah great help

[lakehoodbrothers]

hey cheers bro that helped heaps
