before i start, i want everyone to know why im doing this, which is that i need to vent this frustration so i dont pop a blood vessel in m brain.

ok it all started on monday when i rode with ryan and had a shiznackle day there. the only real tricks i landed there was a shuv, 180, and a fs board shuv out, thats literally the ONLY tricks i landed all day, not to mention i fell on a lipslide Embarassed

. that whole day i was tryin a 3 shuv, like 20 f'ing trys didnt land it once. as if that wasnt a bad enough day.

i went out today hoping to redeem myself from my last sesh.once again, didnt land ONE 3 shuv. i tryed like 5-7 and EVERY TIME i would get on and then fall on my back and do like a layback thing until i fell. then i decided to just get my old tricks consistent cuz i mightve been tryin to learn to many tricks at once. my shuvs were at like 1/3 consistency, which is 2/3 more than i want to fall. on almost EVERY SINGLE ONE i would land the first one and fall on the second one. to top it off i didnt land any w2ws. i even sped the boat up to 23 and couldnt do it. this better not keep up because its aggrivating as hell.

just needed to vent my anger cuz your the only people who might actually give a shizzle.

ive had those days. but thats when i decide to ride behind the jet ski and all my worries go away. but i KNOW how you feel completely. i normally only ride like shizzle when im trying to impress the hottest girl on the boat Sad

...good luck getting you consistency back cause it will come.

that's the worse thing in wakeskating.... those days when you can't get a trick in Evil or Very Mad

what I usually do is forget about tricks and just cruise for a pull, riding switch and edging around... makes me feel better ^^

HighRida, i dont have a cabin or anything like that. i usually have to plan trips. i might be goin out tomorrow so hopefully ill be more consistent, usually when i go 2 or more days in a row i get some consistency.

dont worry about it man, i went to the keys for a wakeskating trick and i couldnt land a 3 either, so i just rode around and looked down into the clear water, i also fell on my first toeside shuv ever... that was depressing Sad

i landed the first one i ever tryed when frye was here and haddent fallen on one since. But i had fun, we all have bad weeks or days... what ever ... just have fun.

i wasnt mad so much at not landing the trick itself, just that i hate falling over and over and have to wait for the boat to come pick me up. on days when im consistent are the days where i have the most fun. i can twait to get an integ cuz that made me super consistent for some reason.

pssst, I have a secret....it's not just the board, it's the rider too...

I've had days like that, and I've also overcome days like that. It seriously comes with the territory--sometimes you're on, sometimes you're off.

electricsnow, It could be that the integrity has a more stable ride than his current skate and he liked how it rides, and it makes him more comfortable, making him more consistent... It happened to my friend Ben as soon as he made the switch to the integrity... as a side note, he landed his first kickflip yesterday and then hit another one like 3 minutes after Very Happy

or its a mental thing.

Mr. Top Hat, I don't doubt that's part of it.

I know exactly what you guys are talking about. It gets so frustrating sometimes because I use to have alot of nice tricks, and now I can't really do anything. Today I finally landed a fs bigspin for the first time since who knows when. And I have only landed one 3 shuv since I got my Integrity. I almost grabbed the old 484 wood deck on my way out the door for my last set.... Crying or Very sad
