Taking a vacation for a week with my skate

K-wood Kid

Well on Sunday my family is headed to south parde Island to a house we rented on this big bay. We are bringing the jetski so I thought I would use my roam and wakeskate alot but like a sign from god I lost one of my claws for my boots so I'm forced to wakeskate until my next comp at TSR next thursday where I can get another claw. I have body varials, shuvits switch fs bigspin (sometimes) and 3shuvs(sometimes) but I dont have any lip tricks besides fs and bs lips and 180 out. What shuvs on and off the lip are the easiest.

lip to fs shuv is pretty easy so is back lip to shuv out

K-wood Kid, try a FS lipslide 180 (really its 270) to BS lipslide. Those look cool.

BTW: Normally a switch FS Bigspin is called just a Fakie Bigspin.

LFADAM, I didn't know there was fakie on a wakeskate. I think of it like a fakie bigspin like on a skateboard and cheat my front foot forward so it truly is fakie but is there really fakie on a wakeskate? I can go from fs to bs to fs lipslides I was just curious about shuvs on and off. I've tried 90 shuv's on but with no luck. that bs lip to shuv off looks so smooth I'm stoked to try it.

K-wood Kid, I dont know technically if there is but I would say so. Whats the difference in skating and wakeskating fakie foot position.

Well i guess this could be argued in wakeboarding and wakeskating seeing as in skateboarding a fakie ollie 180 is known as a halfcab and so is a w2w switch 180 in wakeboarding. Oh well I dont want to argue

Damn, I've never tried going from front lip to back lip, considering they are on opposite sides of the wake Laughing

I think you mean front board

Another cool trick you can learn is get on the lip switch and do a 270 shuv out your normal way, it's like a fakie bigs off the lip...

Nick Taylor, whatever. Ill put it in wally terms.

"You slide sideways on your board facing the pontoon boat, then you do a half turn and slide sideways while looking away from the pontoon boat."

Well on the third day of my trip I tore all the tendons and ligaments from my right big toe to my ankle. I was skimboarding and I hopped on my sisters cuz she couldn't get it to work and the top was all just wood so my foot slipped off the back in a powerslide and I ripped it to shreds. Anyways before that I landed a few 3shuvs, back lip 90 shuv out, front lip 270 shuv out and some big I/O shuvs

Also I was walking in to the dock after I swung off from behind the pwc and a jellyfish caught me all the way across the stomcha and I jumped up and it went down my pants so I was stung on my :jewels: so if you can imagine the pain lets just say I used an entire bottle of meat tenderizer
