I have that same problem.
What helps me some is Ollying (spelling?) Pulling my feet up, kicking the board strait down while keeping my weight centered, then sticking the landing with your feet spread apart just right and bending your knees during the landing.
Hope that helps some, bro. |

cloudeater,

Style comes with time, so if your first kicky is super mobbed, who cares? You just landed a kickflip! And NO ONE is going to take that away from you. Once you get more used to the trick you can try to start to flick them more, if thats a problem for you. But most wakeskaters I've seen flick their kickies at least a little bit (Drew Mcguckin is the only exception). Go with the flow. |
