i was just like that.....ive been riding for 2 months and i can jump w2w and 360 and stuff but i was terrified of going inverted and then finally i just told myself i was gonna do it and went out, slowed the boat down a bit and tried a tantrum.....i got hammered but it didnt hurt much and i got enough confidence 2 keep trying em.... once u try it once u wont want 2 stop so just go out there tell urself and every1 on ur boat ur gonna do it that way u cant chicken out or every1 will laff at u.... then just try it

cut in hard and throw your board in the front of you and flip it...that hard part is the landing, it will feel like you dont have anytime to land once your flipping..just wait it out and do it over time....grow some hair on your balls and do it

Just throw it once and then you will realize its not very painful, then you will get the confidence to do it again, until you land one.

Bottom line Get over the fear and go do it already

I tried one the other day, I ended up accidently doing a 720 spin instead and did not even go inverted.... Almost landed it too. Everyone on the boat was like... holy crap dude, you almost did a 720, and I was like... no I did not, but then I watched the vid and sure enough... Too bad I did not land it. Anyways, when I fell, it did not hurt, so now I try all the time... I still have not been able to actually flip though. I always end up twisting.... I have been practicing back flips off of the top of the tower to help me get the feeling of flipping backwards instead of twisting, that seems to help...
