What is a backscratcher, how do you do it and is it lame? |

A backscratcher is when you stand tall too early and get pulled forward by the line, thus kicking your legs back and looking like a retard. Some people apparently do it on purpose, I won't believe that though. |

I don't care how un-hetero that trick looks; I still throw it down occasionally. If you're having a not so great day on the water, just load up and throw that trick as big and hard as you can - be sure to throw your hand back to so it is a "true" backscratcher. You can't help but laugh when doing that trick.
But dude, stay away from fashion airs. |

no! throw down a fashion air at least once a day! Preferrably in front of a bunch of wakeboarders that think they're badasses _________________ The consciousness of self is the greatest hindrance to the proper execution of all physical action.

i think once a day is a little much. use backscratchers and fashion airs sparingly. only when you need a good laugh. |

every once in a while I'll try to kick it up to my elbows and hold it up as long as I can, it feels kind of cool when you slide the board back down at the last second. But people can't knock it cause it the start to throwing real sick TRUE methods!!!!
hopefully someone will back me up on that comment. _________________ crashin big only hurts when you crack your cheek bone on tantrums, otherwise its all good!!! |

fashions help you relax and stop you thinking too much, cause you always ride better when you laughin and just going with the flow, another thing that helps me is grimace, yup, mcdonalds funny little purple critter, think of him when you riding and you can't help but laugh then you ride better, trust me think of grimace _________________ Wide-A-Wake Board Sports

hahhahahhahaha yeah that grimace guy is funny. Man, I haven't seen him in years... I'm laughing right now in school, I can't wait to use the grimace idea at the lake...
Yeah, and a good backscratcher will help you get a good, solid, stylish method... _________________ The consciousness of self is the greatest hindrance to the proper execution of all physical action.
