Skate deck>Wakeskate

Jama · Guest

I'm not a fan of trampskating with a wakeskate. A skate deck is just so much more fun.

My analogy is that a skate deck reacts to a trampoline as a wakeskate reacts to the water. Or maybe I just want to feel like what I'm doing is beneficial to my wakeskating skills.

I just got backside bigflips switch and regular! I also did a frontside bigspin variation where I do a frontside shuv to nose grab, and then I do the frontside 180.

Anybody else doing some cool neuvies on the trampoline? Tell me about them.

i like doing both. but i feel more accomplished when i land a trick with the wakeskate because it is so much harder. newest tricks ive gotten are switch bs flips with the wakeskate and backside flip indy on the skate deck. i havent been on the tramp in a while. ive been super busy

i dont like it when its on a skateboard deck, i perfer a wakeskate deck, feels more real.

I got a good analogy. Trampboarding with a skate deck is like having sex with a condom. It's still fun, but it just aint the same... Smash

on a skate deck i can 360 flip with no effort but on a wakeskate it is a way defferent story. and the muscle memory is different on a wakeskate rather then a skateboard. i flick every trick different on a wakeskate then i do with a skateboard. So i would say wakeskate or bring both on the tramp with you!

the only real problem i find using a wakeskate is there isnt as big of a kicktail, so what if you just used a top deck of a bilevel? might give you better pop like a skateboard and still give you the feeling and weight of a wakeskate.
