try waiting longer, really focus on letting that tail release out of the water before you flick/kick/ or however ur technique is. if u create that momentem then the tail should slap ur back foot and you'll giggle like i do when u sick it |

Practice practice pratcice. It's not the sst, that board will flip (if weirdly). Practice skateboarding, trampskating, carpetskating. When you land one it'll all be worth it, I has never more stoked than when I landed my first kickflip.
wakemitch, that's not the spirit! Do you think you could post a video of you trying one?
Only try them it if you want to though. Wakeskating isn't that fun if you only try one trick for 4 weeks to land it. That's what I did to land one, I didn't try anything else for 4 weeks. It wasn't a fun four weeks, and now that I think about it I definitely should have waited. I just wanted to say I could do one so bad, don't get caught up in that trap.
