its not like a team sport you know? we dont really do drills we just go out and ride and have fun, the more you ride and the more fun you have, thats when you'll start getting good, just go out and ride and play around, you'll learn fast.

don't listen to what these kids have to say...sure it will work if you want to be "good" at wakeskating, but ive seen a lot of good riders and they just don't look cool. So in a sense the not looking cool factor cancels out the being good. You would be better off just trying to look cool...and that way if you suck, no big deal cause the coolness cancels that out....and as you get better you will become even cooler. Here is an example. Timmy is the mac daddy when it comes time to throwing cool tricks. He can do everything from kickflips to shuvit rail bonks. But he doesn't know the first thing about looking cool when he does it therefore the girls won't pick up on his coolness (because he has non) Meanwhile Bob is having a difficult time during a deep water start yet he has the fly knee highs with the old patrick ewings and to cap it off (litterly) he wears a backwards hat to show the ladies he means business. Bob is cool and it distracts from his horrible riding. But i may warn you people out there who think it may be easier to look cool than ride cool....it is NOT easy to look cool like BOB
