Feet position?

seadoo @ normal speed, flats and def. most def. flick it.....just make sure your board is popped all the way out of the water before you flick it......i keep my front foot more towards the front and not hanging off too much.....footing is more of a pref. thing

mc.willz,

seadoo
i do them insanely fast, but i get the speed up to 27-28mph then cut out in the flats and the speed seems to be perfect.
Flats
flick

dont listen to people that say flick, its nothing like flicking a skateboard.

learn them mostly mobing, because rotation is way easier

the best way is a combination of both flick+mob
