Backside Air (2 wakes): Heelside air, rider uses wake and must clear both wakes
Tips: Getting air enough to cross both wakes and then some has a lot to do with your edging all the way through the wake. Right as you approach the crest of the wake, most people ease up the pull and flatten out- not good. By easing up, you take away most of that tension the rope has built up and significantly lessens that force that pops you into the air. Keep in mind, your maximum speed should be at the TOP of the wake- not as you first make the cut or anytime during the cut. Best approach is to make a gradual turn into your carve, dig that edge in as you build up speed toward the wake, spring with your legs when you reach the wake and hold on until you're in the air.
