landed my first kickflip

[Bad Luck]

then i landed 4 more later in the day. it was on cable, but i feel confident that i could stick them behind a boat or ski.


nick taylor, you gave someone some advice on them in the trick tip section that REALLY helped me on them (looking at my front foot), just wanted to say thanks.

[tahoe]

[Bad Luck]

[joeyHOLDER]

joeyHOLDER, WTF!?

[Raven]

Yo, your bad luck streak ended , you need to change your name now. Conrats bra!

[Bad Luck]

thanks raven.


and joey, even if by some chance i cant land k-flips behind a boat, i wont be giving up wakeskating. i ride because its something i love to do, and one trick cant make me not love it anymore. honestly i dont think k-flips are THAT big of a deal, its a cool trick but it shouldnt be used to measure a rider. i honestly hadnt had any interest in learning the trick up untill i hurt my knee and couldnt take the impact of rails or w2w's.

joeyHOLDER, You fail at life if you quit because of that... I went about 5 months last year without being able to kickflip, and it allowed me to focus on other things like lip tricks, consistency, style... etc. Why do/did you wakeskate in the first place?

[parky]

joeyHOLDER, wow

Bad Luck, dude you rule... best post ever!

kickflips shouldn't be used to measure a rider... so many people out there try to do that so they can be like I can kickflip I rule... instead of focusing on that why dont you try like nick said learn some other shizzle you skipped!!!!... if you cant kickflip you dont suck, you just have another trick to work on... If basino can win the pro tour, get in videos and all out rule at wakeskating and still cant kickflip... I or you can to

[andy ross]

joey holder also ripped me off so lets kick his ass in orlando at pro tour 06....

[Iamjesse]

wow yall just made me feel alot better, cause i cant k flip or v flip and it seriously is soo frustrating, i ohnestly fell that i sucked just cause i could land those damn tricks!!! It is even more frustrating because i can land on the board and not ride away, and i have been trying to throw um for like 3 months and comeing so close... it was soo frustrating that i really wanted to quick... but i just dont have much other tricks to learn, i need bs bigs and v and k flips... i could work on style and popping my tricks higher though... but yea i have been so depressed abought flip tricks lately, i really need to hear all that so thanks guys!!! That all kick ass... and brett, i dont hate you soo much any more lol even though you can kick flip... lol

[PIRATE]

Do you want to know what seperates the men from the boys ????? its not k-flips, Vflips, or 3flips


its actually 5 things.

1: Consistancy
2: Switch tricks ( i dont care if you know 1 or 12 switch is where its at)
3: Solid w2w skills
4: The O so important Steez
5: Attitude and Stoke on wakeskating.

not being able to land tricks is what pushes you to go and ride harder.
