RELEARNING SWITCH BACKROLLS // FREEZING SPRING RIDE AT XTREME WAKE // Lex Balladon

I have been backrolling for YEARS and they have not been great over the past few though... especially my switch, or right foot forward, backrolls. So I have been practicing a longer cut with my left foot forward and that's seemed to have worked. I now need to transfer that onto my switch side, which is proving more difficult than I thought! The journey continues... living those wake daze!

    Your rolls are EPIC. Even the ones that faff reflect a level of commitment that is wowww. Not sure if landing rolls and loops in tow is as insanely painful as it was in windsurfing (at least back in the day)? Am hoping not. Nice job Lex👍

    Thanks Derek! They are not that bad, it’s when you go much bigger and get a nose edge is where is starts to hurt 😂😂 Windsurfing crashes sound painful!!

    Sounds like there’s a story with the ol backrolls?! I must have thrown 100 of them before I landed one 😂 slow learner right here haha I’ve not been to South Coast, it’s on the list! And I haven’t ridden New Forest for nearly nine years 😵‍💫 it was fun though! Glad to hear you’re get in on the water loads! And at two different parks, that’s the dream!

    @@lexballadon only been riding since last Sept (what a hobby to take up in your 40s 🤣) and before I smashed my Coxyx a few months ago a tried it a few times and just ate it every time, got a little cocky. My target at the mo is kicker front 1s/3s which I'm a sneeze away but "just" can't land yet 🤣 And Def check it out down here if you get the chance, I absolutely love it, such a find to have on the doorstep 🥳
