this kid i know who has an over active imagination said when he was at owc their were kids on wakeskates doing flips and stuff off the kickers. i know they can spin, but flip? somebody tell me who is right. i doubt they can flip yet, but skateboarders can do it, so it will be possible in the future.

jeb, maybe he left out the fact that they werent landing them? I know people who will hit kicker or wake, with a wakeskate, and then try there next move to get the rotation down. The board flys away also so they dont have to worry about the board or anything.

i know a wakeskater that has done flips off kickers, he did a board transfer back roll on a wakeskate...and almost landed it, i think he rides at OWC to, it could have been him, his name is Brandon Thomas, he is an awsome wakeskater, he could probably land flips on his wakeskate if he tried it more, unless he already has

Throwing inverts and spins and stuff off the wakeskate is great practice for wakeboarding...it teaches you air sense and you get to feel what the trick will feel like. I just made myself a wakeskate and can't do much yet, but i have a great time throwing inverts and stuff.

The attached sequence is 'sposed to be an Air Raley.

thats pretty cool, i have done some ts raleys off of a kicker with mine, you should try to land on your feet though when doing it, that can help you get used to pulling in and coming back down, but if your still learning, then thats ok, looks pretty cool

I think that the biggest problem (at least it's what i'm blaming it on) is the size of wake i've got to work with..... the boat i'm behind there is a 19ft Outboard.

Doesn't help that i suck!
