Does anybody have real crappy days when they ride I mean so bad when they cant even jump wake to wake or hold on to the handle. What did u do were you able to fix those simple mistakes riding longer I just seem I wasen't able to get any where today. But I did take a week off but I dont think that would cause a problem when I've been riding for long time I mean I can do 180's 360's all that stuff but I wasen't able to do nothin today, So what do you do on your off days how do you fix your problem out on the water so you dont leave empty handed

Dork out dude! lol everybody has bad day. I had a day this year where my first warm up jump i nosed over crashed....crashed on this...crashed on that...beefed a backroll.... all that stuff. Just said heck with it, started cranking the slayshes as big as i could, worked on cranking wake jumps into the flats, doing manuals, buterslides, laybacks, just have a good time. Dont gotta go 100% all the time. Do whats fun! My 2 Cents.

Some days Im like that. I just dont have the energy rush. I like to have some pop or something before so I get a sugar rush then Im stoked to go out there. If Im not 100% in the mood to ride and just go because its calm out I usually dont have the best time and it shows.

yea everyone has super days, i have even had bad weeks, its the fact of one day hitting all your tricks and the next day not being able to hit one of them for while.. i have just came to the conclusion that if i just stop thinking about my riding i do alot better, just go out and basically be careless.lol

Paulie, when I have off days on the wake. I hit sliders... When I have an off day on sliders, (which is most days) I hit the wake.. Hang in there buddy. If we didn't have bad days on the water, the awesome days wouldn't feel so awesome...

thats why riding flex boards is so great. ride a roam. if your ridin like crap you can go out and not even jump. just carve and do butters and its just as much fun

The longer you ride the better your "bad" days get. I remember those days when I couldn't jump the wake, but it gets better with time. Now when I have a bad day it means landing most of my tricks, but maybe taking a few attempts. Just keep riding, don't let it get in your head. Have fun. That's what it's about, after all.

Well, last year I had a day like that! I fell on a tail grab 180, than a tail grab, a R2R, and nose grab 180. There was girls in the boat so I did a raley. Got it down but I almost got hung up. After that I droped that rope, and told myself never again!!! I will never ride after drinking again!haha Friends don't let friends drink and ride!!

everyone has days like that. i usually just crawl back into the boat and drink a beer, watch, relax, then maybe after everyone else has taken the sets they want i'll get back out and just play around cuz by that time i've drank a few too many beers (unless i'm driving of course)anyways. wtf you talkin bout bg you ride after drinking damn near everytime you ride
