Is and impossible possible on a wakeskate?

Yeah skateboards are heavy. There not like hard to pick up or anything but do have a bit of wieght to them. But ive never tried a finger flip on a wakeskate. But ive only ever tried shuv its on wakeskates and they are way easier on skate boards, dont know abt kickflips though.

everyone saying that just becuase the boards big itll be inposiable rember the first kickflip? that seemed damn near inposiable, i think an inposiable is posiable itll just take some time for people to get it. and skaterguy or something like that, i dont skateboard so itd probably be harder for me to learn it on a skateboard first then just go out and do it on a wakeskate

I should call myself Sk8er Boi instead and then I would be all cool like the Avril Lavigne song and girls would hit on me!! Yeah baby!! Wouldn't that make me all, like, hardcore and awesome??!! Yes it would!!

As for the impossible, you could at least get the back foot motion down on a skateboard (like with your front foot on the ground); I think that would make it easier.

so you just kind of hit the tail on the ground and push it forward and try and make the board do a backflip around your back foot?

Has anyone see Sfumato yet?? I got it yesterday and Hampson is doing hardflips...the board does a 180 while kickflipping...if you ask me that is ridiculous in a good way that kid rips like no one I have ever seen

are you sure they are hardflips. Does the board flip bs or fs. Its probably a varial flip. Because a hardflip is a fs varial kickflip but it flips between your legs. If thats what hes doing then my skills very insignificant.

i dont think its a hard flip becuase we deffinatley would have heard a lot more about it its probably a varial flip

well he is bs and the board flips foreward while doing a kickflip im not into the skateboarding thing but my friend said it was a hardflip. And I think we all are skillwise insignificant to ol Hampson these days and in the days to come because that kid is unstoppable.

that sounds more right, and yet it sounds so wrong that he is doing this on a wakeskate

RUSSIAN, Dont act like it is an "underground" sport how did you find out about it?? There is nothing we can do to keep it "underground" I love telling people about it because its bada$$ and hella fun. The only thing steering people away is how much a boat costs because that is ridiculous Mad

other than that it is a very inexpensive sport that pretty much anyone can do

Mullet Jerk, you dont need a huge boat. Me and me mates were doing it behind a dinghy, you just cant do wake tricks. Pop shuve its, kickflips, varial flips and more are all can be done out in the flats. And the fuel cost was like $20.

yea but how much did you pay even for your dingy. you can get a good skateboard for what 200 bucks and some shoes for 60 and your done. Biking is a little more but still you can get a good bike for like 500-1000. surfing like what, not sure somewhere between 300-600 don't know. so comparetively speaking its still pretty expensive
