akale15 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I have a 43" d3xt. have attempted flipping a few times and have made it around, just been a bit late on the landing. is it easier on a hard edge ski? anyone have some good links for tricks?

Administrators Horton Posted June 20, 2012 Administrators Share Posted June 20, 2012 You can find a lot of trick stuff on YouTube. For your first flip you need coaching not a new ski. All the D3 stuff is really good.

Baller MattP Posted June 20, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 20, 2012 @akale15 where abouts do you live? Some of us who choose to faternate with the trickers might know someone in your area who could help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ Bruce_Butterfield Posted June 20, 2012 Baller_ Share Posted June 20, 2012 Kevin Jack has some excellent video instruction for the higher end tricks. You can start here: http://www.ehow.com/videos-on_8195_advanced-trick-water-skiing.html If it was easy, they would call it Wakeboarding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted June 20, 2012 Administrators Share Posted June 20, 2012 If you run across Brian Dawson there in Ft Wayne he does not know crap about tricks. If you want to slalom you should look him up.

Baller eleeski Posted June 20, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 20, 2012 D3 hardedge is a great all around ski. Flip landings work well on the hardedge. While it is the skier not the ski, the ski can offer a slight advantage. Horton is right, coaching is more important than a new ski. Hour long sets help too. Have fun with it!

cwillygood Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 i mean, a hard edge is going to be better for flips/ handtricks...rubber edge better for toes, i have a hard edge d3 custom x from a few years ago, been landing flips on it more consistently now, i think it works great, and i know many many many people who use the hard edge d3 for flips...but for the most part, its the coaching stay of the front foot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epyscs Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 akale - stick up a video on youtube and will help where I can. I am one of those trick guys on here that doesn't comment too much as this evil @Horton being seems to get his frilly underwear in a twist. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akale15 Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 @epyscs - sounds good. I will try and get my gopro out this weekend and see if I cant get my girlfriend out of bed early enough that I could ski a little before the crazy people come out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
