Can I backflip?

Ok so my dad says I am wasting my time in jet skis and that I am never going to be able to backflip or anything like that with my body type. Please tell me he is wrong. I am 6 foot four and weigh 175 what do you think?

at 16 being 6'4" you should pick up other sports. Are you left handed?

Your height has nothing to it.

I asked if you are left handed as you would be a MLB scouts dream if you could throw. I agree with Boris its not your height that is gong to stop you. You are 175 at 16 and only going to get heavier, but the bigger part of the equation is your ski. What is it?

ocean or flat water????

you could back flip a 550 in the surf!

Most world Champions such as Malone, Bushman, Macc, Dauliach, etc. are all about below 6 feet. But your height has little effect on your chance to do a flip. It's all in the ski and the rider commitment. If your trying to flip a 550 in flat water, then you'd might as well give up now.
And I'm really hoping that your not trying to flip a honda...
