    theres some tutorials on xh20, and heaps of hints, however when you see it up close in person it somehow shows so much more than a tutorial or video will. but i reckon read a tutorial, then watch some live before you cock it up and break yourself and or ski.

    also backflips are apparently really hard on engine mounts, hulls and poles ay sox :D

    If the wave is 4 foot or smaller you need to pull on the bars but if its bigger then you just drive up and let the wave push you, you need to hit it as it is breaking, backflips are not hard on your ski or mounts at all.

    I 2nd what norm says,the only damage that i have done so far is to the peak on my helmet from under rotation, despite how the slams might look they dont hurt!
