How Do You Low-Bounce On Trick Water Skis?
Bounce up and down on your trick water skis to get a feel for releasing your weight from the water. The low bounce is an essential part of just about every trick. Step 1 Realize that all water ski tricks on trick skis take place within the confines of the low bounce. When your weight is released from the water by your bouncing, you can quickly turn to execute the trick. Step 2 Assume a vertical crouch with your weight directly over both ski binders. Bend your knees almost as if you were sitting down, and pull your arms (holding onto the rope) halfway back toward your chest. Step 3 Keep your skis shoulder-width apart. Step 4 Straighten your legs and jump up, releasing your weight from your skis. Step 5 Bend your knees as your weight comes down and return to the vertical crouch position. Keep your weight directly over your binders at all times. Step 6 Practice the low bounce as the foundation to all tricks you will learn on your trick skis.
