hahah i hate wakeskating. im just so fucking bad at it. i can do zero flip/spin tricks. sometimes i skate to just take a break from wakeboarding though, its fun to just carve around and grind the wake.


i can do really big ollies though. but thats it. i have a ton of respect for anyone whos even sorta good at it, its so fucking hard and it takes so much persistence.

I went out last sunday and landed a few shuvits and 180's but the most fun we had was ollieing (sp?) over marker buoys.

Then my buddy tried to shuvit a buoy, caught it sideways with the board, and flat wrecked himself. I laughed so fucking hard lol

Does anyone else think wake to wake kick flip to Indy is one of the sickest trick on a wakesjate. Just my opinion

Can't embed the pic, but this is the best wakeskate crash ever.

And yes as with everyone else I can just land pop-shuvits, and W2W air stomp is by far the most fun.  This pic was of a very bad attempt a couple years ago.
