| this is just my experience with skateboarding, but i think it would apply to wakeskating as well. Try to spread your feet out a little bit more when you land. With your feet close together like that, you won't have very good balance. hope that helps. |

No way in hell can I do kickflips but this is just an observation. From the video it looks like you are leaning back alot. Maybe try and keep your weight more forward and over your toes rather than falling back, and like you said landing with wider feet. _________________

What troubled me with the landing of my kickflips, and maybe it was the same for you, was flattening out... make sure you flatten out before you pop it _________________ when the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.
