I finally landed a shove-it on Saturday. The first trick I can do on a wakeskate that you can't do on a board. I'm pretty pumped about it. Practicing them on the trampoline helped so much. Just getting comfortable with the rotation, and spotting the landing. I feel really good about it tool, I skipped out on 3 of them before I finally landed one and they were all right there.
Also rode away from my first surface 3 but that's not too spectacular.
With all of the flooding here no one can get their boats on the water unless you have a friend with his in the marina so we had the entire lake to ourselves on Saturday and it was BUTTA
Next stop, lipslide shov _________________ You have just entered the twilight zone. |

Landed my second on on Tuesday night. Still took me 3 tries but the one I landed was clean. I'm really pumped on skating now.
I was also working on body varials. I land flat on the board every time but for some reason I kept going over the nose. I felt like my feet were always square on the board though. Should I work on switch ollies before I go for the body varial so I can get my switch landings more consistent?
Or should I just try the switch body varial so the landings would be more stable? _________________ You have just entered the twilight zone. |

congrats on the shuv-it. =)
i just landed my first one a few days ago. first wakeskate run of the season. and first try. i was planning on wrecking and just calling it quits but i stuck it clean. it feels good don't it? i really wanna progress. im thinking of trying some 360 shuv-its. and if i can manage those, go for the fakie fs bigspin. =)
and on your body varials, i think it'd be better if you went at it fakie to regular. your landing would be less akward. let us know how it works out. _________________ Visit www.myspace.com/alecperkins to listen to my music! |
