Are your feet close togeather when you land?

well, for a lot of people, ive noticed they cut out waaaay too far heelside, and when they land, there's either slack in the rope, or they get yanked off.
Try cutting out like 5 or 10 feet from the wake, flatten off for about a second, get your pre pop, then pop, and use mostly your back foot to rotate the board. Make sure you don't land with your feet together, absorb your landing with your knees, and you should have yourself a pop shuv it, my friend. Cool

hope that helps.

practice practice practice... they'll get more consistent.

jcoffey, Landed mine last week but now I slip out alot.

kraus6451, dude, that's totally normal. It took me about 2 months of riding everyday like 2 sets a day to get them consistent. Or maybe i'm just a slow learner.. Wink

T-Hawk, nope, im going slower. but also i learn better with riding with someone and having them give me pointers, and the wakeskate scene is small on my lake..

Im the one of two wakeskate groups where I live and all my friends wakeboard but im better than most people I know or see out so I can never get advice while riding.

jcoffey, yo I was/still am in the same boat as you. I could throw them and keep em under me and everything for 3 yrs and land maybe one every 3 sets. I would always land with my feet WAY to close together. I finally just sat down one night and looked at all the pictures/videos I had of me trying em and just started looking to see what I did wrong.

Realizing my feet were too close together every time I just started carpet boarding and making sure my feet stayed apart through the entire trick. It actually helped me because now I dont have to throw it as hard and its a softer feel.

It also helped that I was watching every video I could of people shredding an Integ to make some connections and that helped too.

But yea, practice, keeping your feet apart and that handle to your hip was the key for me. Past few weekend Ive been landing like 6 each set and it feels so great after taking so long to get em.
