Great tutorial JB, something in there for every level... When I first started out trying cuffed and blind (boat & PWC), I slowed my riding speed down until my confidence and technique improved. Loved the single handed blind and tic-toc blind exercise advise, brilliant!
Those are 2 imho good tips from me, collected from many of "coachs" and concluded those, which I didn't hear in your tut. 1. Don't forget about your head while landing in blind. It's much easier landing and looking forward rather than keeping head looking at back binding or past way. (like you do) 2. It's easier to land blind if the handle is nearer the hips and / or if you keep the handle as long as you can with both hands and loose the back hand in the latest moment of rotating/landing. Those are for begginers. Sure thing is that those ^ for pros are little details that are not confusing as much as in learning phase.
I don't agree with the first point. Looking backwards when landing blind allows your upper body to be and a more stable position then trying to look forward which causes your upper body to be off axis often leading people to lose balance and fall. I've always been taught to land looking backwards, stabilize and then looking forward.
This is one of the things that i wanna improve the most and i did as you said. Taking the handle behind the back and try to ride blind as long as i can. I realy dont know how to improve this because i thought i was doing something wrong but i'm glad to hear you say practice for muscles is key! I was searching a long time for something like this video because noone is talking about this or did a good video about landing blind. Thx mate :)
Phil Bert thanks dude!!! Honestly just land blind like a million times off of small stuff, big stuff and anything really, the more you do it the easier it gets for sure
Hey man, Watched the video because I really want to learn how to do surface and air backside 180's and ofc progress into 360's. Yesterday I did ride blind for the first time and did switch from side to side blind because of this video! I will keep watching this vid as a project to master this year. Thanks so much for the clear instuctions on how to get better and I hope I'll land it soon of a box!
Aspiring back one riders. Ride blind like JB says….in fact everything JB says in this video is so useful. Ride blind till it becomes natural. It will pay dividends when you land a back one over a kicker. Hey I go over the kickers blind. Bit scary to start with. But no real drama. At least if I land blind, all I have to is do the twirly bit. The twirly bit works sometimes….and I’m 64!…thanks to JB video And I suggest doing hundreds of back ones of the box. Its easier and helps the muscle memory for a nice landing and progression.
You r the best. Very interesting , definitely I will try it tomorrow ! but for the most times (for me) after I watch your vid It’s looks so right and easy , but then on the water I discover how hard it is :) But my problem is that I’m not going to wakeboard to often and do not have the right sequence in order to stick it. hope to be more on the water this year and to use all your advices !!!
Great tutorials all around. ! Any chance you might do a air raley or backroll tutorials? If there is a possibility, can you share more or the ‘scope / dig ‘ part of the skill. Lots of people share but the ‘scooping / dig’ part were covered briefly. Again thanks for all the great tutorials👍🏻
I can definitely do that tutorial, my issue is mine is not very proper as I kind of do and indy ts backroll to late front 3 instead of the normal nose or melon one where you do like a rollto revert to late back 1 lol. but il try and get it done :)
Great tut. Really struggling with this one.. Always just getting dragged back around… Gotta keep grinding. Could you do a fs 720 tutorial by any chance? 🤩
JB has made a vid but what I found really helped was to ollie over something be it a buoy or a safety ramp and push into the water w/ your front foot and scoop it upwards and forwards. Hope this helps 😁
I cant ride in the blind position! I can cross the wakes in the cuffed position no worries but as soon as I take the front hand off I will tic tock. I have tried to max edging, hinging, rear leg weight and reaching around fully. I have tried leaning at slightly different angles. knuckles are tight to my back. Ive looked to the shore and to my tail. Seems impossible. I think it might be due to my thick physique and shorter unflexible arms. Will larger fins help me? I use 0.8" fins on a 150 murray pro. 230 pounds.
yes for sure!!! just make sure on the boat you really get your chest over your toes and also be patient and dont go to blind to early. I really try and lanperfectly on the down side of the wake too caues jumping a tad too far makes it pretty hard.
Thanks for the tutorial ! I still struggle with the kicker 180 blind although I have no problems to land blind out of other obstacles.No matter how many times I try, I never manage to land blind when hitting the kicker ! Is the way to do it any different than on obstacles? Any advice would be welcome !
Just take it small at first and just do again and again and again and again, takes time for sure, but honestly the best thing is staying persistent with it
Can you do a video on just how to land? I’m struggling with landing and riding away, especially from bigger kickers etc. I often land and then fall or land ugly with lots of handdrag... Feel like this is the biggest thing holding me back from progression right now. 🙏
My cable park has an insane amount of tension, so everyone has learnt to go to blind with lots of tension. Resulted in me accidentally doing a 540 with the rope wrapped around me at Liquid Leisure (meant to back 1) cause I wasn’t used to the lack of tension.
Checkpoint note: it’s been a while now that I can land blinds in a very consistent way, and I lately learn to throw them during transferts to land blind in inclines / banks. It’s harder but after a couple of tries you get the hang of it. However, I think a tutorial is really needed on how to land blind after a big kicker jump. I swear to dog this is the most challenging thing I have been doing in my wakeboarding life. I can land them if I don’t push a lot, but as soon as I push, landing them becomes very inconsistent (and they are a requirements for tricks like trantrum to blind, crowmobe or BS 5). I have yet to find a method because they are different beasts as soon as you get a lot of pop.
Hey, can you please explain a bit the way you bend your knees during spins? I constantly see that you bend one knee more than the other. What’s up with that? Thanks!
so pretty much its not necessary at all to bend just one leg or the other, some riders have both legs straight some have both bent, some are like me. I think the reason for me that one is bent more than the other is that I am either pushing off an obstacle with one leg more than the other, or I am trying to poke the board to possibly look better. but yeah thats really about it
Whenever i do blind 3 90% of the time i go to 540 and wrapped up and lose it then makes it into a osmosis, what can i do stop doing this. Also whenever I do 180s I land it but the handle gets away from me and I can’t grab it and land backwards boardslide and go back to the way i started. Any tips on how to land perfectly or able to ride away
Loving the tutorials! keep pumping them out!
thanks!!!
Great tutorial JB, something in there for every level... When I first started out trying cuffed and blind (boat & PWC), I slowed my riding speed down until my confidence and technique improved. Loved the single handed blind and tic-toc blind exercise advise, brilliant!
thanks dude!! would be good on a 2.0 system cause you cant really slow the big cable down, but to be fair the cable is wayyy slower than the boat.
Your videos have helped me improve so much faster then I would on my own. Great explanations and editing to show me exactly what your talking about. 🥳
thanks for watching bro! glad youre improving🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

as I stated in the beginning, this isn't a tutorial, rather just a few thing to help you be more consistent.
I don't agree with the first point. Looking backwards when landing blind allows your upper body to be and a more stable position then trying to look forward which causes your upper body to be off axis often leading people to lose balance and fall. I've always been taught to land looking backwards, stabilize and then looking forward.
Definitely helpful, thanks JB!
thanks dawgggg

Hello again ! I did it ! This is a really good example for blind landing !
Hell yeah dude that’s sick! Thanks!!
This is suuuuupppeeerrr helpful 👌
🤘🏻🤘🏻
Best training video, I’ve come across for back ones. And it works!
Hell yes, glad it worked for you

Any chance you might do a air raley or backroll tutorials?
If there is a possibility, can you share more or the ‘scope / dig ‘ part of the skill.
Lots of people share but the ‘scooping / dig’ part were covered briefly.
Again thanks for all the great tutorials👍🏻
backroll is coming, I havent filmed the air raley one yet
Thanks so much!! I have been waiting for this!!
tons more coming :)
The tutorials are awesome JB!! Keep them coming! I would love to see a tutorial on a Pete Rose if you get time to make one 😎🤙
I can definitely do that tutorial, my issue is mine is not very proper as I kind of do and indy ts backroll to late front 3 instead of the normal nose or melon one where you do like a rollto revert to late back 1 lol. but il try and get it done :)
@@jboneill That's exactly how I try to do them with the Indy ts backroll to late front 3 so it would be great to see a video of you breaking it down!
perfect, will either be here or when i get home :)
Great one!
Thanks!!
keep em' coming!
every 2nd day forever!
Hey JB I just make my first blind today... Keep uploading tutorial 👊👊👊
fuck yeah dude!!! hyped for you!!
Great stuff dude !
thanks!!
i get unconformtable by seeing you landing everything doooo clean
Hahahaha
Sick Vid , thanks for the insights. I'm getting my fair share of back edge's. I feel a tantrum to blind tut coming on ;)
ahhh back edges blow, yeah i filmed a tantrum to blind one also, but comes out in a while i think
Great tut. Really struggling with this one.. Always just getting dragged back around… Gotta keep grinding. Could you do a fs 720 tutorial by any chance? 🤩
Here you go bro czcams.com/video/v5_TYhBlSi0/video.html
I love Wakeboarding
sameeeeee
Informative 😎🤘
yuhhh
This is a sick tutorial for beginners! Thanks, JB! Maybe you can create a video on how to make a high olie? :)
planning on it at some point!! :) thanks so much!
JB has made a vid but what I found really helped was to ollie over something be it a buoy or a safety ramp and push into the water w/ your front foot and scoop it upwards and forwards. Hope this helps 😁
Hello from Russia !!! )))
Nice, nice, nice part at 2:16 !
Thanks !
thank you :))
OMG!!! Blind. My fave but still can't get sometimes HAHAHAH thanks for this
you have been killing it lately :)
awe. You are just so being nice @@jboneill but thanks for the positive response hahahah
You make it look so easy man
Thanks brooo
Another very important thing is which direction you are looking when you landing. Feels like you should look behind you.
🤘🏻
Is it because you would keep rotating if you were looking forward?
I mean, is that the way you can lock your position?
Thanks 🙏
Awesome tutorials! Do you pull on the cable when you land blind or is it more turn your head and hips?
Thanks
Dave Neil's both 🤘🏻
I cant ride in the blind position! I can cross the wakes in the cuffed position no worries but as soon as I take the front hand off I will tic tock.

anytime dude!!! I have loads more videos coming!!!

JB ONeill waiting for more videos 👍🏼👍🏼
If I want to do wake to wake back side180. Can I practice like this behind the boat?
yes for sure!!! just make sure on the boat you really get your chest over your toes and also be patient and dont go to blind to early. I really try and lanperfectly on the down side of the wake too caues jumping a tad too far makes it pretty hard.
Thanks for the tutorial !

Awesome tutorial bud! how about one for roll to blind?
i can definitely do that one for ya! will be a minute though since im scheduled so far ahead, but i will film it tomorrow!
Subscribed. Blind still inconsistent. WIll see how it goes =)
Good luck dawg 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Can you do a video on just how to land? I’m struggling with landing and riding away, especially from bigger kickers etc. I often land and then fall or land ugly with lots of handdrag... Feel like this is the biggest thing holding me back from progression right now. 🙏
Land flat over both feet from a smaller height, land even, bend your knees then slowly go higher and higher each time
@@jboneill Thanks bro! Will try it out! Just landed my first flip - a ts backroll :D Thanks for inspiring
Nice video!! And i want to now witch board did you ride ? Thanks👍
Pierrick Uhel Hyperlite wishbone 2019 143cm
thanks dude!! I ride the wishbone 143 2019, It comes in bigger and smaller sizes also in case 143 isn't for you.
phil knows what hes saying haha

yeah i might make that soon
Yo.. I got a problem with untwisting after backside 180.. Can't hold the blind position.. What can I do 😬?
Just work on it more and more it took me some time
number one key is to lean forward!
i mean look at him doin it all the time.
Lol
When I do the first step an try to ride blind. I unwind as soon as is let got with my front hand. Any tips on how to stop unwinding instantly?
Repetition
👏🏿
