    Default kickflips?

    i havn't seen many tricks discussed here, but i have been wanting to know, who can do a kickflip consistently, anyone??

    I know its possible because sometimes when I mess up on a jump or w/e the board does the flip, but it is insanely hard to land (i am yet to do so for the sake of this thread) when I try to get the flip it just doesn't work ... and when it does it spins too slowly for the air that I get attempting it off of 6" waves

    you should be able to do kickflips if you can do a 15 ft. spray on a 3'' wave. If you lived in California where the waves were bigger, I'm sure you would be a pro and landing kickflips every time. All the pros in Cali land them all the time.

    You have to pray to the magnificent pink spider monkey and sacrafice your unicycle to unlock the hidden ability known as the kickflip.
    watch the moving bodies as they react to the sound

    Do you think I'm joking? I can do kickflips, this is how you learn them. I had to sacrafice my skateboard.

    Consistently, nah...after a few tries, generally.

    It's a CA thing.

    I would say it's more of an east coast thing. In CA they have good waves, so they don't need to do kickflips.

    hmm, the closest I ever got to getting the flip down was watching a wakeskater do one about 50 times in a row to figure out how he kicked it, then going and trying it myself, maybe I can do it today, but I don't have a camera that Im taking to the beach

    I'm sure your experiance with spraying 15 feet off of 3 feet waves will come into play.

    Was that a sex change? It wasn't a normal kickflip, I know that.

    the h20 police down here are serious when we are wakeskating they will pull us over and tell us to take off our life jackets to see if they are CGA approved. They asked us last time when we are going to follow the rules, my boy said with out a hitch "when you change them" I lost it and the cops lost it too plus handed me a ticket for a non approved vest. Oh well its all good now I dont do anything to get into trouble anymore I learned the hard way.

    lol water police??
    here they are called game wardens, and its dangerous to mess with someone while skiing, here they leave you alone until you quit water skiing (wakeboarding/skating whatever) and then they just want to see boat registration, and if you have enough life jackets, how in the heck did they find out that it wasn't approved, what were you using?

    It was a b/s flip, noone I know or have ever seen can land them consistantly. I have landed 180 flips dtl on small frontside waves. But never can do them everytime.
