How to Do a Tailbone on a Wakeboard

Now that you're starting to get some sick air, here's a great way to throw some style into your bag of tricks.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Life Vests
• Ski Boats
• Wakeboard
• Water Ski Ropes
• Wet Suits

1. Learn to do big wake airs and land smoothly with great consistency.

2. Approach the wake with good speed and keep the rope taut and loaded.

3. Jump as you hit the top of the wake, just like you do on your big airs.

4. Straighten out your back leg while you're in the air. Bending your front leg will help define this maneuver.

5. Grab the nose of your board while you're still "boned out" in the air. Each way you grab is a different trick, so experiment with as many grabs as you can.

6. Return your legs to normal position before you land.

7. Bend your knees to absorb the shock of your landing.

Tips & Warnings

• Straighten out your front leg and bend your back leg to reverse this trick for a "nose bone."
• Style is style, so tweak and twist however much you think you can handle to give your form some flavor.
• Always wear a life jacket and observe proper boating safety when you wakeboard.
