What are some easy tricks on a wakeboard?

Question

I can get up easy and have good balance i just cant jump so im working on that if youi have any tips

Answer 1

Use the wakes edge to life you at first, just to master your control of recovery, hit the wakes left to right, slow at first then faster to faster with a lean to that direction and BENT knees.,

Soon you will be blasting them super fast and in no time you will be thrusting those knees as you enter the transistion of the wake.

Good luck !

have fun.

Answer 2

Your best bet is to keep riding over the wake till you get that down... then try to jump when riding over the wake, from there you'll want to keep doing that till you can get some height, after that start with ollies.  Then your next step most likely would be to do 180's or switches (I think trick names varry from state to state)

Answer 3

try to ollie. then do a ollie and add a 180 to that. your first trick to try after you get the feel for a straight jump is a 180. all you have to do is turn the board and your hips. no letting go or handle passing involved. doesn't take hardly any air.

Answer 4

edge out to the flats and then come in at a controlled speed knees bent and when you get to the crest of the wake stand straight up and sorta pop. grabs are the easiest... als you can try a 180. this doesnt involve jumping and it helps get your balance up for riding switch. just lean back and rotate your board around... but lean back or your face plant.. good luck

Answer 5

Yes keep practicing !!!!!!!  tht is the best way to get good. dont let a few bad falls take u off ur board heep trying. Try some board control drillls!!!!!!!!
