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.
