w4k3b04rd3r57, dude just dont think about it. I myself havent landed one yet but the trick is about 90 percent mental. I was amazed at how easy it was to pull back in. Just go in for the kill with a smile on your face and be confident. Just dont think about it. I took a couple nasty spills today , but I had prepped all day goin through the motions in my head and it helped a ton. So if you fall , big deal. If it hurts though , give it a rest for another time. Good luck!

It helps a ton if you try it with a wakeskate first. Since theres no edge to catch , you have a lesser risk of injury and the overall pain of a face plant. It really helps to get the motion engraved in your muscle memory. (courtesy of The Book DVD)
