what speed works the best (for you) for kickflips?

i know its probably different for everybody, but i was wondering what speed everyone's riding. anyways, im trying to get kickflips consistent and its not happening right now i think it could be the new board/being rusty from over winter.

what speed do you guys normally ride at, or are those normal speed? is 20mph good for learning or what? cuz quite frankly i've only had a wakeskate for 1.5 solid months of riding and i wasnt too sure.

Gnarly Dancer 42, i don't think he actually goes 30.. i won't even touch 30 on a wakeboard... thats quick. he might have been kidding around. i go like 20 when i try them
