Pressing the board on sliders?

What's the trick to doing a nose press for instance? I've tried them in the past, but never get what I would consider a real press. Maybe I'm just not putting enough weight forward and it takes more than I thought. Any suggestions?

the trick to pressing and any sliding in general is just keep at it, nose pressing is tricky coz u never know how much u are pressing it, usually its a lot more than u think, try and get someone to film u.

just keep the weight on your lead leg and bend down on it, this is one of those tricks u just keep doing it and you will be able to press more and more, you pretty much will have to crash to find your limit

Have fun with it man, presses are amongst the most fun things u can do on a wakeboard. Much easier at a cable park or winch setup if ur lucky enough to have one

Another tip is keep the handle really low, like by your knee.

ollie higher than you would for a normal 5050. If you ollie higher, you can push the nose down easier than trying to rock into it once you're on the rail
