Stupid Question?

When your riding are you supposed to put all your weight on your back leg? I do and was just curious if this is right form? My leg tends to get tired real quick from putting all that weight on it. Is this from bad form or could it possibly be the board I'm riding?(2003 Parks 143 DNA)

No dude it's you. My buddy had the same problem when he was learning. His back leg and lower back would be killin him after 10 minutes. Just relax and even your weight out, and stand up straight don't crouch.

I ride with 50/50 weight distribution.

if you learn how to wakeskate well then that will go away because if you lean back on a wakeskate you will slip out.

Helix and Substance are meant to be ridden tail heavy but when not cutting you should be able to shift your weight front to back very easily. Try riding more neutral and flip-flopping regular to switch a lot.

i personally just kept ridding for hours just to get my back stronger..or you could do lower back workouts during the off season to help but after about 3 weeks of consistant long riding i never had a problem but during that few weeks i could barely stand up straight =P
