Ok, Chris, guru O freestyle.
trying to sub, Just cannot get the movement or something down. Can you explain how to do a sub? Any tricks I should know?
I think I just do not have enough power to get hi enough to sub. Or could be my fat butt.
Want to learn some freestyle to give you competition at State championships. haha just joking, but never know might make for a funny time.
Any help you can give would be great.
Thanks.
Jon

Subs are 10% technique, 90% mental. I can sub just about any craft, even runabouts!
To learn, use a good pre-launch bounce, then just drive that front end down. This is usually done by doing sort of a bunny-hop with the rear end.
Here's some more info and vids that may help...

Bruce, let me just say your catching up.. still working on those leg drags. I know pretty pathetic its the only thing I can do that you are still working on.
Practice Sunday Newman lake nationals? say 12 noon?
Chris, If you can sub that monster, and I mean true sub, not break through the wave sub, I mean water calm upon entry type sub then you will be the MAN!!! Those things are tubs... So much bouyancy there is not possible way to even tip that thing over, let alone sub it.
But might be possible. Video my friend.... sub, calm water, pop up 10ft away...

There is no way your gonna sub that tub. Maybe if you manage to install some straps but otherwise... that ass end is not going in the air on its own.
Let me bring my 41mag and I'll get that thing to sub, but I cannot guarantee that its gonna resurface. :twisted:
