its all personal pref... i personally think bi-levels are def. more skateboard, and the weight makes gives it a more predictable flick... just ride a bunch of dif boards and find a medium

it takes time to learn. and if your already comfortable enough on a concave to try kickies i doubt switching to a bi will help you out more.

try moving your foot closer to the nose, barely let ur heel hang off, and dont duck it too much...

imo, after i worked on ollie norths(flicking off the nose), i translated it to learn how to flick kf's, it works, just like Jholiday said, move your front foot a little up and bring your foot maybe a little more on the board, i personally dont hang my foot off at all.

I think that bi-levels have a more skateboard like concave. Ln the same note, this is wakeskating, and I enjoy a different type of concave when I am on the water as compared to land. My .02 cents.

tech. they kind of do... the verge nexus's top deck has a continuous concave and straight rails like a skateboard...
manzari's new pro model is pressed by a company that makes skateboards, so instead of cutting out the skateboard shape, they cut a wakeskate shape out of the concave...
bout as skateboard as it gets
