HS Jumps The Standing Tall Drill

This drill is designed to help you practice the motion for popping off the wake heelside. It also builds strength to improve your overall height while helping other riders break the bad habit of not extending their legs all the way.

I liked the way you explained the science behind it which helped me to picture it better. Going to try this out on my next session. Thanks

Really really helpful! Thank you!

I've needed this!

[@marcelmaujean1335]

Great tutorials! Can’t wait to apply some this wknd 👍🏼

[@LearnWake]

Thank you! Let us know how it goes.

Great video. What was the speed and rope length? Thank you.

[@LearnWake]

For the drill you can ride a longer rope than you typically use, it will give you more room as you edge out. The speed doesn't really matter that much for the drill but whatever speed you normally ride at will work as long as your comfortable. The rider in this video is likely riding a 75' rope at apx 22 mph.

What size board are you using

[@LearnWake]

The rider in this video is on a 144cm board. He is a bigger guy at just over 6ft.

@@LearnWake i'm 5 ft 11ish/6ft 154 i ride a 139 Liquid Force Tripp... is that a decent board to start on?

[@thcrivellari]

it is really really unbalanced and out of control entry the wake leaning backward and legs locked. It is like a bag of shit flying out of control ready for a big crash. Even the instructor just lock the front leg after leave the top of the wake. I am really having problems to do it

[@LearnWake]

Not sure we understand. We agree that entering the wake with your legs locked is not ideal but the point of the video is to ride towards the wake preparing to extend your legs and push against the wake. Timing it correctly results in reaching the standing-tall position while releasing off the top of the wake. Please do not "lean backward with your legs locked", rather edge in with a mild lean against the rope in a seated position, and think of it more as pushing against the wake as it pushes against you vs. locking your legs out.

@@LearnWake I really appreciate your attention. Your response makes sense. It helped to understand better. Thank you very much for the assistance
