you think you've got kicky problems? i've tried over 1000 and have only gotten the board to spin the full way maybe two or three times. I could kickflip pretty much anything you give me on land but on the water my brain and leg just dont work together.

Man, I couldn't help but chime in on this thread. I feel your pain like you have no idea. My record is a few every 2-4 years. They are my arch-nemesis and it really does make me want to quit wakeskating. Having said that, I want to get them back so badly, I'll do anything. Some times I think I need to stop being such a sissy. Then I try, and try, and try and end up punching myself in the head.

Oh what are we to do????

im gonna try popping them less, its pretty much the only method i haven't tried. seems my leg gets confused when i suck my knees up on a big ollie when trying a kicky.

oi ty! i remember that actually helped me when learning these, like i always used to pop it soooo high and i would always land with my knees sucked up to my chest and as soon as i stoped trying to pop them so dam high things started to work better. i would love to know the actual number of times i tried these before i started landing them, it took me 2 years to learn this dam trick!
