Okay, so I'm not the best at wakeskating. As a matter of fact, to land a shuv-it everyonce in a while gets me going :lol: but I'm always wondering new cool tricks that people do, such as an impossible. Has anyone done one?

P.S. Tell me some other cool tricks, like the CHIRST AIR!

Maybe I'll try an impossible one day if I ever stop sucking at wakeskating.

hahaha. yea same. but i dont know if i would want to see a tantrum done on a skate. when i think of wakeskating i think of kick ass liptricks and stuff. not a flip. leave that to wakeboarding.

Impossibles aren't too ridiculously hard on a skateboard; I think it's definitely a possibility that someone could land one in the future.

i was going to keep this on the DL but i just stated trying airwalks. for thoes who dont skateboard it is like doing a nose grab and kickin ur legs to the side. i have got realy close maybe i can at lest get a pic next time i go out cause my camera is broken. o yea i do heel side it think the trick is easer that way.

Who is the guy that was doing christ airs at tsr over the summer i thought that was really sick.

The only Christ Air I heard of at TSR was a dock start variation. There is a move that was like a superman indy grab thingy. Yes, superman, not raley, there is a difference.

An impossible is where your board kinda does a backflip/360-shuvit/flop-over thing while rotating around your back foot. It's not as weird as it sounds; you have to watch one to understand it.

I can do airwalks on a skateboard; I need to try them on a wakeskate sometime, maybe next summer.

By the way, the trick that dude's doing on David Legler's message-picture thingy looks a lot like an airwalk. Is it?

an airwalk would be pretty sick.

The picture you see I believe came off of buywake.com under the video section. Of course it came off a video, but that's where you can find a blown of version of David Legler's lil image. He's not grabbing the board at all in the picture, his hand is actually on the handle. An osmosis airwalk would be sick though Razz

i think a christ air would be tite- but not as good as an invert...

so which you think would be easier a christ air or an airwalk, i just now really started getting my grabs working, slob here, a nose there, but im all about advancements, what should i work towards? Confused

Airwalks are way easier on a skateboard, I don't know about a wakeskate though.

i would think airwalks would be easier on a wakeskate. you don't have to lift the board all the way up to your side away from your feet or anything. and then have to bring the board back down. plus i think an airwalk would look better. christ airs to me would be kind of funny lookin when you have a handle in your other hand.
