switch kicky

so for about two weeks now i have been "training" on the tramp to try and get my kickflips on lock. but it seems that i am able to switch kickflip better than a normal kickflip. why is this? also if i get the switch kicky down on the tramp will it better my chances on the water or will it throw me off?

I am the exact same way. If you can do that, try shuv to late back foot flips they are pretty easy after the kflip and use the same foot as a switch kicky.

Jama, i was doin shuv late flips earlier on the tramp. those are fun! Cool

then i went over to the wakeskate and did 5 switch flips in a row straight into 5 regular kickflips in a row no lie. then i got off the tramp lol.

i know a lot of regular riders who tramp skate better goofy. some that skateboard goofy better too. i'd say its an advantage. its annoying though playing tramp skate with someone like that and they call all of their tricks switch...

once u get kickflips on the water you'll probably have an easier time than most doing them switch as well. future D. Hampson!
