I just got up on Saturday on the skate for the first time.....what a difference. I tried last weekend but found that the skate always wanted to slip out from beneath my feet so I would end up on my butt all the time. Then all of a sudden I got up on the skate on saturday and it was awesome. I was able to do FS spins, and BS spins, 180's, 360's and 720's.....now I have to work on my jumps and stuff. My brother and I found that after skating, wakeboarding felt more controlled because on a skate you have to have board control.....oh yeah I was riding the skate finless. It definately helps with your edging for wakeboarding.
