The Progressive Edge - How to Actually do it! - Wakeboarding

So people always send me videos of them learning tricks on DOCWAKE, and a huge amount of the time the reason they are crashing is because they have the wrong edge.

So here is my latest tip for doing a legit progressive edge!

Thanks for watching!

Dude you are so right! Every time my riding suffers, I take a video and see myself going form 1 to 4 to 4 to 4 to 2 to goofy wake to wake jump with my board flying everywhere! Cheers!

David, I have just started to wakeboard and have been trying to get a wake to wake jump. I have watched several Youtube videos and they all talk about the progressive edge. This video cleared it all up and helped me understand exactly what it meant. I went out and tried it. Did the count down from 1-6 in my head and boom I made it!!!! Was so stoked! Now I make it across most times. Now to learn toeside wake to wake and riding switch. Thanks bro. This video changed everything for me.

You mastered the skill of teaching! It is great how you make everything so easy to digest.

David: I'm a beginner wakeboarder and I've been trying everything to become consistent at landing my heel side wake-to-wake jump. I applied what you talked about in this video this past weekend and landed 10 wake-to-wake no problem (I'm usually 1 for 10 on my attempts). It was like magic. THANK If you're ever in Arizona, I owe you a beer...a lot of beer.

your vids help a lot david. im a beginner wakeboarder and im still trying to learn the basics and some simple tricks like switching..hope you have more online vids like this like step by step..👍

[viperfanatic]

[thomasziogas]

David very very helpful videos you inspire me so much great job

[georgedowney]

Awesome video, definitely needed this, heading to the lake tomorrow to try this out!

[jacoblukins]

So with a tantrum I know you start with a harder cut (maybe like1-3-5-6?) and then keep that edge until squaring up...am I on the right track with that sequence or how would you describe it with the 1-6 number system?

[Torzsi]

That's awesome! Just wanted to ask about the front roll and basically the toeside edge. It's easier to build it up for heelside, but toeside is another cup of tea :D Sometimes i don't always catch the take off for the front roll. At one time it feels smooth and the landing is greta, but other times it's just a sh*t and causes pain in the knee.

Definitely dig your channel, and this video helped me a ton on my straight air/wake to wake jumps on the Heel side. I used this and then hit it at 60, then backed it up last week to 65 and Im getting consistent. I have 2 requests...can you do something similar on the Toe Side, as that's next on my list...also can you help to unpack (when do do it, what it looks like, and so on)the idea of "standing tall" when you're coming into the wake for a HS jump.

[FavStaR]

Umm the one he landed he still flattened off right before the jump. That's what I can't seem to get down, if I'm at my max cut leaving the wake, how do you stay balanced in the air and not fall to your butt?

[ditrii]

:-) if i see your videos it looks like the wakeboarding its super easy and super fun and its good. Other tutors where are the guys talking by the Batman/Arrow/Ironman... voices are so scary for me :-)....its very frustrated when some Batman voice says "blah control landing"....yes a have always "blue screen" if im flying after your videos too and cant see nothing becouse of it ....but im smiling now :-)

[liberatore]

Class! This was really helpful. Thanks!

[dantechan]

Thank you so much for the video!
However, one of the biggest problems confusing me is the "standing tall" timing.
Could you please kindly help to solve my problems?
1.It's a "standing tall" motion not a "kick or jump" motion?
2. What is the best timing of the "standing tall" motion?
3. When my edging achieve to the speed 6 that you mentioned, when it's come to the wake, I should "standing tall" with the edge of the board? Or flat of the board? If flat of the board will losing some speed that already built?
Your advise would helping me a lot!

David, did you ever post a TS W2W how to? I remember seeing something but wasn't 100% sure.

Keep ripping out there!
