Its supposed to be like the easiest thing to hit and land and i cant get the grasp of it. I get up the kicker part fine, but when it comes to sliding the whole thing, i dont know what happens. any advice or similar problems?

bend your knees and try not to be too heavy on your back foot.. keep your head and shoulders up and move that front foot all the way up

Cut otu to it a lil further than you think, cause when you get up on it.......you get pulled toward the inside.

no one hits it perfect their first time. keep you knees bent and your upper torso straight, handle at your hips when you edging. dont edge to soon or to hard. soak up the beginning, almost like an ollie

I havent hit rails on a wakeskate yet but if its anything like snowboarding u want to be centered over your board. not a little lean backwards cuz u will probably slip out. IT SHOULD FEEL LIKE YOUR ABOUT TO CATCH AN EDGE

P.S. If im wrong and this only applies to snowboards someone please correct me before shuv this catches an edge and breaks his face

thankss.. hopefully i'll get to give it another try this week while I'm here. but yeah now that i think about it i probably am putting to much pressure on my back foot.
