joeyHOLDER, wow thats the worst way to set your feet up. alexxx, you got to have your front foot off the board more towards the heelside and i get more pop with the ball of my foot in the middle of the tail. i havent done one yet but i have em down on a skateboard and i can rotate them on a wakeskate so trust me, dont rely on that pic for foot placement.

humm it's a weird spot for your back foot... seems like it could slip off easily.

and I don't see how you could flick it without the front foot hanging a bit on the side.

but then, what do I know, I don't land kflips on a wakeskate Very Happy

But I do on a skateboard, and the more you have your foot like a regular ollie (like on your pic) the harder it is but the nicer it looks Wink

I try them with my feet just like what Nick posted. It's spinning like 1 try out of 5 lol :/ I just can't get the rythm right...

Like on the skateboard you try to flick the board when you feel the most pressure from the board on the front foot. So you pop, flip, catch the board, land.
If you flick too early it will be more like a wakeskate flip, like more angled board and you land on the board as it lands on the water. Kinda like the flip finishes right as the board hits the water and you land on it like a split second after the board hits the water.

Well that's how I see most of the Kflips done on wakeskates...

Maybe with joey's foot placement you can get a better pop and wait for that moment when the board presses on your front foot to flick it so it flips very fast and you catch on the way down, before it hits the water... Again it's something to do with rythm... I mean like on my shuvs and ollies I feel the *beat* of the trick if u know what I mean Laughing
