just make sure you let off your edge, look down at your front foot, slide it away and kick down with your toes on the edge of your board. just make sure you watch your front foot and keep a constant strength on the handle and before you ollie to pop up the board, make sure your shouldars are square and over your board, that will keep the board under you when you pop off the water.

SkateForce, i cant do kickflips on water, but i can on a trampoline and on a skateboard. when you kickflip on a skateboard you slide your floot diagonally off the edge hitting the concave and sending the board into a spin. theres no downward motion. if you skateboard, are you kickfliping by flicking down?

SkateForce, is that sarcasm?

ripava82, Yes and no. If you learn kickflips on a skateboard have fun getting them on a wakeskate because it just completely screws you over. However, if you learn them on a wakeskate first (or at least the flick and rotation) you can do them the generally same way on a skateboard.

Anywho, in general, skateboard and wakeskate kickflips are far more different than you think. You really won't know until you try them.

Slapdown, ya ive never tried an kflip on a wakeskate, I dont want to be gay and try kickflips before i can do I/O jumps and 180 shuvs Laughing

ripava82, I understand that. It is pretty lame when people try to rush into fliptricks. It really makes them have pretty horrible style witout having any solid foundation. But at the same time, there is no harm in trying a trick for the hell of it! I tried a w2w kickflip before i could shuv just because i was ready for the end of my run and i wanted to give the guys in the boat something to laugh about... they got their laugh, i got racked Crying or Very sad

but the fun was there Laughing

Is the McGuckin style kickflip easier... I try to flick my toe off the front corner. but is this the wrong way to do it... It hits the inside of my ankle and sometimes i seem to be ahead of the board anyways.. I guess its kidna one of thos things no one can TELL you how to do. you have to learn for yourself... but is McGuckin style easier... Neutral

tompo, try practicing them on a trampoline, you can get your foot movement down so your not wasting time on the water
