    Wow that looks like a nice spot to ride. When doing tricks like that is it best to hold on and let the ski push you into the water or let go when it goes wrong.

    Last time I was riding at secret spot I let go of the pole and broke my ankle. Admittedly there were extenuating circumstances like shithouse foot straps, but if I'd hung onto the pole I wouldn't still be rehabbing my ankle.

    Sweet backflop Craig... although by the look of the last photo it was slightly over-rotated :D

    Looks like its going to hurt trying to learn these tricks 8) Once I have learnt to ride first. Nothing good is easy as they say :D
