I can do that trick,as well as barefooting off the side and a few other old school tricks like laying on the hood and working the throttle and steering with your feet.

My buddy knows a barefoot skier, he is actually the best in IL. He was able to barefoot, backwards, in front of the SXR. He would push on the nose of the ski while my friend rode it. It was pretty cool to see.

I think it would be almost impossible to ride barefoot backwards if you were the only person operating the ski... but yes i know Rippenkroger did it.

Easy trick, takes a little getting used to putting the perfect weight and angle on the water/ski...

Just need flat water and some decent speed(maybe 30mph). FLip around backwards, put your feet in the water, pop up by arching your back and lean into the water. I do them with wrestling shoes on.

Or you can do the cheater version and stand on the rails..lol

Hey Terry, i used to lay in the tray on my back and steer and run the throttle with my feet also when I had the thumb throttle on my 750SX...lol
Looks funny as hell dont it...

I used to lay on the hood facing forward and work the steering and throttle with my feet , last time I did that was about two years ago, it also looks funny as hell lol. I mostly just barefoot off the left side of the ski now , been doing that for years and years. I also used to stand on the rails backwards and hold the handlepole up , been a few years since I have tried that one.
