Is it just me or is wakeskating all about getting behind it. It seems that if you can keep the board between you and the boat you are well off. Nearly all my falls are because I don't get the board out in front of me enough. So a little tip from me and my experience with this awesome sport.
Get behind it. . . get behind it... get behind it...get behind it. _________________ dbanana wrote:

Raven, Just put a little more weight on your back foot and move your front foot back a few inches... _________________ √ |

I feel ya Nick with that comment, I'll try and exagerate that a bit next ride, thanks for the tip. What about the kickflip help? I got the pop and flick part; but instead I catch and land on the board on the water with my legs stiff and feet too close together. I think I'm kicking instead of flicking and the board needs to flip on the up not the down. Help? Anyone? _________________ dbanana wrote:

Raven, It's all in your head. The "legs stiff, feet too close together" thing is a barrier that keeps people from learning as fast and good as they could be. It's really just a habit and part fear of getting owned by the skate when you hit the water. My best advice for this is practice on shuvs, pop them high and while your in the air keep your feet apart and knees bent. Keep this position all the way down to the water. Get used to doing this on all your tricks and you will be MUCH more consistent. And you will also learn kicks faster... Hope it helps... _________________ √ |

and if the board keeps falling behind you scoot your fron foot back a little and that should keep it out in front of you.
Nick Taylor, your so cute funny and tall.  |

kyle41, Congrats bro, that's awesome. How good did that feel. I tried a few fearless kickflips today and faired much better. I landed one with my knees bent and legs spaced. I did what you said Nick, I threw some big inside out shuvs(1 fs shuv) and they were feeling good and then the kickflips were eeling much better. Thanks. _________________ dbanana wrote:
