How to Wakeskate basics w/ J-Rod

[philr883]

anyone else wondering why he's wearing shoes in water?

[MrEtiw]

@philr883 because you need shoes to wakeskate

[djDist0rti0n]

@philr883 @MrEtiw yeah its because hes probably on a board with griptape which would be advised to wear shoes, Where as if you get a deck with EVA or foam top you can ride with OR without shoes

[Randomblueberry]

thanks for the tips much appriciated

[Randomblueberry]

i like you jorts and you hair

[bushwhacker474]

[djDist0rti0n]

@motorcrossman199 if the deck is EVA or foam you can ride with no shoes

[syngatesbestbud101]

you look like you dont want to be there haha

[mantasea1]

Looks like you get up just like a wake board but the ollie is a little different since youre not in binders.

[good4campbell]

J-Rod. You the MAN! Im a 45 yr old man that has been trying to wake skate for the last week . Every day tried and failed. Bruising my nuckles and nearly ripping my arms out of there socket. After seeing your video and trying your technique. I was able to get up after only three try's! by the end of the day I was making full circles and staying up for 5 minutes. Thanks to you I was able to do this!!!!

Much Love from Detroit MI :-)

[bpearseable]

no that's not how you get up you'll eat shit like that

[DBjr9]

@bpearseable that is one of the two ways to get up, and yes most people think the other way is easier

[sldnx10]

ahahaha god ur at explaining. ur facts are right but man can u NOT talk.

[MrLawlpants]

STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM YOUTUBE PLEASE!

[klavistata]

is it better to get a wakeskate with foam griptape? or actual skateboard-like griptape? and do you have to wear shoes to do tricks like ollies, shuvs, and kickflips on wakeskates?

[MsMrbuffalo]

@klavistata i say griptape but if your just starting go with faom top for a while and you only need shoes if u have grip tape but u can use them with faom top you dont need them for tricks

[chucknorris9753]

[analmunkey]

[Franzacko]

Hahah thats exaclty what I was gonna say xD hes a little nervous I guess ;)

[raildude270]

so jealous of those cassettes.

[screamdontdream]

I was just wondering for the ollie do you slide your front foot up like a skate board ollie or just push it down?

[wakeskater5]

u dont have to slide ur foot up, just make sure u pull up ur back foot.

[screamdontdream]

k thanks

[TheMan16111]

what kinda board is that

[downawang23]

how do you get such a small wake for wake skating

[cidylo123]

smaller boat or jet ski. If u just go slower with a bigger boat it wont really produce a good wake.

[Skiptip01]

any skate shoes will work

[brownster98]

wat kind of shoes should i wear?

[joacoxt]

thanks

[agentxxxjr]

i get upp like this 1:27

[joelwitt17]

i just get up on them like a wakeboard.

[agentxxxjr]

today july 15 of 2009 they gave me my wakeboard of wake skate is pretty cool

[joelwitt17]

wtf?

[girlboardsrock22]

yea i never wakeskated but i skateboard. so im hopin i can cach on pretty fast. it looks alot like the same technique.

[thedizzit]

you make it look really easy

oh and by the way that is probably the most awesome pair of jean shorts i have ever seen

[jjujjn2]

i was trying what wakeskate i should buy do you have any suggestions

[Rhell13]

i just bought the hyperlite catalyste 114 but its pretty expensive

[nato101010]

A wakestake board would be a awesome place to start.

[Z400hockey]

one question....what type of camera did u use for the underwater shots??? um me and my buds make videos all the time but we are looking for a water proof camera

[mattyb8890]

So i just bought a wake skate to bring up to the cabin this weekend, thought it would be fun to try, just curious on how fast you should have the boat pulling you go,

[WallZZZZZ]

Its about the same as pulling a wakeboard... just start alittle slower and get going alittle faster... about 20-25mph depending on your preference

[dollarboyz365]

Got up on a wakeskate on my first try this weekend because of this video.

[laxjunky204]

i can ollie 3 feet on a skateboard, will this transfer to wakeskating?

[MrWake7]

it depends.... you will be going 15 miles an hour faster so you might have to get used to the speed... but at least you know the technique

[donjuanwagner]

i watched this video before wakesakting for my first time and it actually helped. thanks j rod

[Rcjake97]

I wanna learn soo bad!!

[dustinlee123456]

[Skatman17]

Whats the difference in performance between the griptape and foam?

[fozy121]
