My First O

Yesterday I did my first O on a slalom trick ski. An O is a handle pass 360. Amy taught me this trick and I worked on doing the following:

• perform this trick straight behind the boat


• take a couple of practice pulls (to get a little slack)


• look at the shore on both sides (head stays up during trick)


• pull in, rotate quick, keep head up, pass handle, grab handle


• trick can completed with one hand riding it out forward (but I prefer both)


• look into the back of the boat at the completion of this trick


• fast rotation is very important, don't stop backwards

Woo hoo! I love learning new tricks.
