Thomas Watts amazing to hear! Congrats!!

[@paulburns8428]

Going for the 2nd attempt Backroll at sunrise today ! thanks for the vid David

[@gaetanoaprea4262]

Holy crap these videos are great!!! The best part is lack of editing... seriously just the facts! I love it!

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

hahah thanks bro!! Thanks for watching!! :)

[@admdirk222]

Thanks for the videos! It would be great to see a video with more driving tips and showing how to shape the wake tailored to different riders.

[@spsciroccomk2]

Thank you for being goofy... Most videos seem to be regular footed... I'm in the process of trying to learn the back roll this session. I'm an old man and I'm getting pretty beat up on this one ... Steady fighting through the fear... The boat driver coming off the throttle sounds like a good idea for this old dog. Cheers mate

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

+SteelAlchmey That's brilliant! Yeah coming off the throttle makes it soooo much easier, and it's a really soft landing! Good luck and go land it! :)

[@Youngy59]

Hey man you have made my wakeboarding so much easer now keep doing what you do

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

+Kade Young Thanks so much Kade! I'm stoked about that. I literally launched a new site to help coach people online. You might find it useful www.docwake.com :) :) Thanks for watching bro! :)

[@davenjoyce88]

i learned my backroll when i was 11 but this taught me a lot more.

[@trevortan9116]

Awesome tips man! Will do that the next session!

[@jamesdeininger3759]

Great video! Bel Air/Air tricks for the next one!

[@liamcannon6405]

Found this old gem wassup David

[@Fernandinhomendoca]

You are doing a really good job man, congrats 👊🏼

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

+luiz fernando mendonça Thanks boii I appreciate it :)

[@thomaswatts9881]

hope you don't mind but I made my own how to backoll video using your techniques! They are very useful for getting consistent!

[@jeremybeaudet9680]

I'll try it this morning!:)

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

yeeewwww good luck!

[@ryanparsley6494]

Besides driving in a straight line with a speed controller such as perfect pass, how does a good boat driver makes a world of a difference on learning a new trick?

[@alexeydementyev3913]

good afternoon, can you tell me if it is possible to use the backroll technique on an electric winch when performing a backroll behind a boat ? thanks

[@tobiasknowles5555]

For me, I find launching with 2 hands and taking my back hand off on the way down helps me stop rotating. Otherwise I tend to whip down the face of the wake and go over backwards.

[@ricardogarnier6639]

Plz more on cable man. i like the way you make vids. make one about scarecrow plz

[@wacko234456]

nice vid, im surprised they sell sunglasses in Ireland

[@CWVIEWmc]

Batwing or off axis spins please!!

[@pololetigrou]

Trying tmr morning! Will let you know

[@eddiedaengineer]

How did you go? How many attempts?

[@ShayneSacramento]

oooopsie boat -backroll. Need to find the otherone I guess it was posted in Ballyhas channel? I forgot

[@roberthale5106]

I have been working on this all summer now, and consistantly land on me heel edge and slide out every time. A follow up video for the common problems would be cool.

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

+Robert Hale Hey Robert, okay cool, if you want send me a video of you doing it and I can try and help you out, but it sounds like you just need to flip and bit more, but I may be wrong but I can let you know with a video :). We will get you to land it!!

[@roberthale5106]

+David O'Caoimh Wakeboarder I will toss one up when I get a second, but after a long session last night I think it's sorted. turns out it takes next to no cut in to clear the wake and land this trick. I was hucking it really hard, and it was pulling me into more of a raley flip thing. I slowed it down till it was half speed of a normal jump and the trick did itself. Thank for the videos, man!

[@RYTISJAS]

Hi-ya, amazing video! have a good day :D

[@Bob-ru6nw]

Is the air back roll the same technique as the wake to wake air roll?

[@jeremyhays9433]

can you explain loading the line and how to take the board off the lip. I have been trying this a been going belly up and not really rolling.

[@caleblassitter6575]

Front roll!

[@lilboss82]

DAvid, can you elaborate on the 'scoop' a bit more? Seems like you're saying to come off your heels and roll to your toes a bit?

[@sledneck_149]

I’m 13 and still trying to land a hs Back roll ,any major tips off a smaller wake

[@be-lake6610]

TS FS 540's would rock. taking your spins past 3's

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

+Blake Ehlers Sick, I will do that some stage. But a quick tip for the ts fs 540, It helps loads to break it down. So try do a nice ts 180, and then add the three to it. But I will try do a video on making 3's 5's! Cheers

[@MrKiwikweibler]

Hey is it possible to do this on ski boat ?

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

+tokz “tokz Jcap” jcap hey, absolutely yes!!! It is a small bit harder but 100% doable!! :)

[@MrKiwikweibler]

+David O'Caoimh Wakeboarder ok cool with the tips from you I'm sure I'll be able to get it

[@MrKiwikweibler]

+David O'Caoimh Wakeboarder also just gave you a sub man good videos you deserve a lot bigger following on you tube

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

tokz jcap legend thanks for subscribng! Hahha, I'll get there yet, it's still early days!! Thanks though! :)

[@cryptonft6591]

Can i learn a backroll behind a jet ski

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

+Juan guenter Hey Juan, ehm, I think it's possible but very hard. It's not too hard to actually do a backroll on a jetski, but to learn one would be a little difficult in all honesty. :)

[@cryptonft6591]

+David O'Caoimh Wakeboarder thanks David i will try maybe i'll get it

[@1234sopngebob]

pls make a video for beginners. getting up. right positioning. edging. etc...
