For me i find them incredbly hard, it might just be our coaches because they want you to do everything penciled out and i guess its just natural to bend my nees to go for the grab i dont know its just starting to really piss me off cause i am progressing extremly slow with the hole penicl ugly style shity

not camp, red deer water ramps, what you have to do is show them you can do perfect pencil spins because apparantly they are harder then regular spins(im not gonnna dissagree i spent ALL day today working on them and i still bend my nees everytime i leve the ramp) in some ways i understand where they are coming from from there areal background but in other ways it just pisses me off

I sucked at the water ramps. Could've been because of my injuries. I dunno.

YES DSPIN i had the exact same problems as you last year, i sucked so much and at first the coaches were helpful but it started to get really annoying, i couldnt spin at all off of those ramps all i could do was flips and misties and such, and about the pencil style my freind finally started getting spins and was putting some style into them and then the coach was telling him that it was good, but they had to work on his hunched up style.

oh and also i did my 36os by carving a bit but those ramps force you to be incredibly straight and start spinning late or something, and i kept on crashing hard and he said its good that your on water ramps, because if you were on snow you would land and keep doing them your way because you were landing, but water ramps force you to learn them the correct way. What? if i land clean and have style isnt that the correct way? I guess water ramps would be good for learning inverts, but i learned them before, and i think it would be less painful to learn other tricks on a powder jump.

for me the whole feeling of the water ramp was just so weird that I never felt comfortable on them. I hope to try again in the next month sometime but yeah everyone says that its the palce to lear inverts and thats what I need

spinning is super hard off water ramps
most water ramp coaches are older, and their heart is set on aerials
on water ramps, coaches seem to think fronts then backs THEN your newschooler stuff.

im not positive, but can't they take the top off the jump so its not like vert, so its possible to spin off. I've never been but my brother said thats what they do

i think its more hard to spin off them because you cant really carve at all

If I were you I'd get my posse together, have a steeze throwdown session, and when the coaches tried to talk smack, I'd beat their arealist penciled out asses with my skis. Then I'd tear down the ramps, and catch the debris on fire, then piss on the ashes, then steal all the money those bastards took from poor kids looking to progress, and build my own ramps, and let all the kids who wanted to jump however they wanted to.

traditional water ramps have too much upward kick for u to do anything but pencil style. I hope that high north will make a more newschool ramp there now that they have made the cliff drop.

there is water ramps in Colorado. In steamboat and they arent invert jumps, there are two, and they have this shit that you can carve and turn going up to the jumps. i dont think that you can hit them if you arent with the winter sports club though.
