Easiest Way To Learn New Tricks - Wakeboarding

[@danielt8171]

man you have inspired and motivated me to try many tricks on my wakeboard, you've boosted my confidence up so much to try harder tricks, thanks david 💪

[@RonixViva]

David OC! Hey man I know this is an old vid, but I love it. I love how really skilled riders, such as yourself, get a huge stoke when someone learns something new no matter the complexity! I was able to ride with Chad Sharpe in the boat a few years ago and I landed a tantrum, (one of my few tricks) and he was stoked by it. I love this sport because of that! Everyone is just awesome to be around!

[@ryanparsley6494]

I'm interested in your technique for driving the boat while learning new tricks. Like slowing the boat down mid trick. Maybe you can do an instructional vid?

[@devinscott4281]

Ryan Parsley yeah I would definitely be interested in this. do you just slow down when they start to cut? and to what speed?

[@Danish0026]

Pretty sure they were just slowing down because the lake came to an end, that why he turned just afterwards? Could be wrong but thats what i thought

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

Ryan, sweet. Yeah I think that's a good idea to do a video on that. I'm not sure when 'll next be on the boat, but I'll try get it done. Danish0026, not doing it on purpose. It releases the tension a bit, and also makes the landing softer when you're first learning something

[@davidgerulski3490]

Awesome video. I like watching others learn new tricks and your coaching, Your videos continue to be awesome! Miss them when they are not posted more regularly. Good luck. Be Safe.

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

Cheers David, amazing to hear the positive feedback. Ohhh don't worry, now it's every two days (at least).

[@daveleary6703]

Great video, with some really good slow mo! I can safely say slowing the boat down and going one wake for your first inverts/learning big new tricks is a great idea, I've just nailed my first tantrum doing just that for many many sets! 👍👍

[@dylanbanman5816]

I don’t know if i’m the only one but the music in your videos is fire

[@ryanenglish4561]

Ice is finally off our lake, can wait to go wakeboarding tomorrow, that's a sweet Axis, I just bought a 2014 A22 gonna be a great summer

[@diaanjordaan8116]

When you do the flips do you keep the wakeboards fins on?

[@GoldieLoc49]

Mate you make it look so easy that's incredible! Love watching your videos pal! Can you place a big up for French riders when you're up in the air in a tantrum? :-D

[@maxjohnson2757]

Try going to Michigan, the (clean) lakes are amazing, try torch or st. Claire. Those are the best two

[@dannyka6738]

Wicked Chanel Dave broooo!!!!

[@jamesdeininger3759]

Editing is on-point for this one, brother. Great video 👍

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

thanks James. Hopefully gets better and better with Craig helping me looooads!!

[@r.ollivier2646]

Shots are sooo good !

[@guytries2634]

Dude ur getter bigger and ur vids are getting better

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

thanks so much Guy!!! really cool to hear. Craig is helping loads

[@rkjlejg8909]

how do you switch board sides on the water because i just face plant pls reply

[@jakee1423]

Awesome video! It'd be great to see more of the progression and coaching of the people you're working with! It is nice to see situations where other people are making mistakes, and then your advice on how to fix it! Just an idea to help spread some of your awesome knowledge! Thanks for the quality content! Also, are Bel Airs not good enough any more?!

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

hahah the whirly on the roller is a good one now lol! But yeah, I completely get you. I would love to do that. it's a bit challenging as I don't want to be filming in peoples faces when I'm coaching. But I'll try figure it out :)

[@cruizec217]

So sick you are one of my favorite wakeboarder’s

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

amazing to hear. Thank youuu!

[@piposanchez]

Another great way to learn new tricks is to have a beer or two beforehand. Helps to get rid of any fear you might have and allows you to fully commit (helped me when I first attempted my backrolls).

[@elitesavages768]

Come to Michigan and try wakeboarding on our cleaner lakes it's what were known for !!

[@crispyfry8839]

But not your drinking water

[@Laszlo2693]

@David OC just another great video

[@lonniewilson7]

Nice to see you driving the boat and talking about how fast you’re gone or he was going we just like to know

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

sickkk. He was going about 21mph :) :)

[@phreddaudio9080]

How did you get a void hoody??? Event technician???

[@felixfester5214]

Cool clip! Would you recommend the one-wake-and-slow-down approach as well for learning a Crowmobe?

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

thanks Felix. Ehmmmm, for a crow mobe no. But, I would recommend the driver slowing down maybe 2 miles an hour as you take off, and also for a slight turn. So if you are doing it goofy, the driver could turn (a tiny bit) to the left :)

[@JuDgeDreGg]

I want that VOID acoustics hoodie.

[@thomaswatts9881]

You can definitely tell your voice tone different and how much better you are at talking on camera compared to your old tutorials haha

[@artemstolyga6829]

Please, make a video on how to do a backroll on the cable! Thanks !

[@phreddaudio9080]

How did you get a Void Hoodie? Are you into Soundsystems as well?

[@stevetheo3567]

these vids are awesome buddy

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

so cool to hear. Thanks Steve :)

[@stevetheo3567]

if you are ever in the midlands you are more than welcome to pop down our wakepark pier52

[@Soblue26]

Hello David, I broke my shoulder at my CablePark last week trying to land a 360 (see, i'm kind of a champion myself), I'm planning to ride in 2 months (that's what the doc says) and would like to know if there is a way to prevent injuries, like knowing how to fall ? Or is it just a mix of bad luck and overtraining. Thanks lad

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

Hey bro. So sorry to hear about your shoulder. I hope it heels quickly!! It's a tricky one. For the most part it's due to bad luck. But you learn to know when you're going to fall a bit with experience. Unfrotantely not secret (that I know of)

[@andreikloc3424]

Please compare the wake on those two boats: Axis and older Nautique.

[@lukemurphy3026]

You have such sick content! I was watching some of your winching videos and I was wondering what winch do you use

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

thanks Luke. Cool to hear that. I mostly use a 'Simple Winch'. So far it's been awesome.

[@BentRodsTackle]

Dave! where'd you get the black Void hoodie from?? i love it!

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

hahaha it's merch from a guy I coach's Dad's company. I don't think they are for sale lol

[@BentRodsTackle]

aww lol that hoodie is sweet! love it! if they ever sell it hit me up lol. i'd love to purchase one.

[@tylertheroofer]

[@johncreedon1833]

Misleading title. I was hoping for some coaching..

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

Ah Sorry John. I thought it was appropriate as I explain that slowing the boat down can make any crashes less scary and easier on the body. Sorry you're not stoked on it

[@johncreedon1833]

David O'Caoimh slowing the boat down is a good tip to be fair !

[@bennibubbi123]

For how long will you stay in Germany? Would be awsome seeing you at wildwakeski (steinbergersee) :)

[@barthezzo]

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]
