Are my backrolls high enough for double rolls? (video)

Okay so Maybe I came off as a Di(k , wasn't trying to say don't have fun, of coarse its about fun. That is exactly why we all ride, I was simply saying that one should try to learn progressively, not just go for flips because it makes you cool or whatever. Have fun throw a flip or two but learn the basics, it will make your progression better, easier and safer. I wasn't trying to bash any ones balls so like I said don't take offense, but there are good ways bad ways to learn to ride. pick progression and you will get better all around. We all ride to have fun and get better, to progress ... going straight for flips isn't going to get you very far, and can get you seriously hurt.

Bottom line I wasn't trying to offend anyone or get anyone panties in a bunch, I love wakeboarding and like helping , coaching and giving tips to people to see them land that trick they have been wanting to learn or trying. Not to see someone get hurt for trying something they probably shouldn't be trying. Any to anyone who knows me, knows well enough I'm not a snob or snooty and I don't give a hoot if people don't have style or proper technique, it is about FUN and learning. Yes crashing and crashing hard too. That is a part of learning. I'm not saying you need to have a check list of tricks before you can flip or do this or that, but you should have the basics down and a solid foundation before you go throwing double flips. I watched the kids video and a couple others he had before I made any statement or post. The kid was and is not ready for double flips, he wants to try it cool, video tape I will watch too, and surely laugh my a$$ of when he gets worked and nowhere near a double just like everyone else.... Was merely a recommendation and suggestion that I wouldn't even be considering a double flip at that skill level .

And I didn't and don't own a boat buddy, I mowed lawns and shoveled snow to pay for boat gas and buy my first O'Brien Shredder and every board after that. I bummed rides from anyone and anything that could pull me. So don't go thinking Ive got it made and didn't bust my a$$ to get to where I am today.
