i get it that its switch and all, but why even post something that wasn't landed? people shouldnt claim that...

juggler, I agree with trigga... Switch is even easier for some people to do than regular, but Dont claim something you drag for 6 seconds on. Down here in the bayou if we drag or sketch out on any trick, we make each other do it again until its clean. It's how progression works.

Go back land it clean. End of story.

diff strokes diff folks, i'm personally not a fan of doing that, good news is you don't have to agree with me, the power of the interweb

ZackFL(BRE), good call Zack.. I was reading quick at work and didnt notice it was a competition. I still dont agree with counting it as a "landed" trick.

Given that it was pulled in comp, it's obviously better than falling. Filming for some sort of production, and it'd be throwaway. But in any situation i'd hardly say that "landed" and "not landed" are so black and white, in wakeskating.

I wouldnt call that a make...one of my homeboys would definatly tell me to"do it again".
and then I would say " cant we edit it out.
Then James would say "DO IT AGAIN"

a.townskates, hahaha I miss you man, lets do some freaking winching for old times sake, DO WORK!

I know you all hate my wakeskate comparison to skating but seriously in skating if you as so much touch the ground with your hand to catch your balance that shizzle dont count.

I don't wakeskate for anyone but myself, and I have very high standards and expectations of myself, so when I learn a new trick I wont be satisfied till that shizzle is stomped!

Either way Aaron that was sick can't wait to see you stomp it clean, which I'm sure you already have!!

Squatting out on a trick or a slight hand drag is one thing, dragging out like that is totally a no go... Sorry but you can't count that.

IMO just cause you did a trick one time doesn't mean jack... back that shizzle up clean and then claim it!

Bunch of style Nazis here, I'm actually kind of sorry I posted it. See ya!

juggler, not style nazis. its just that the trick wasn't landed at all. and then to claim it?

its wakeskating, not a circus.

i don't really consider that landed. if i were a judge in a contest i wouldn't consider it landed.

also, collin gee landed one cleaner than fresh laundry last weekend. just sayin...
