Quick question- I just started wakeboarding 4 1/2 weeks ago, I can jump w to w no problem and I have 2 grabs down really good, my question is, by the end of the summer where should I be at as far tricks? When do I start spins, flips etc? I have been going out 2 times a week practicing my but off, I love the sport, I just want to know what to shoot for by summers end. Any advise from the vets out there would be greatly appriciated! Thanks!

Try learning front flips.

thanks, what about spins?

Try getting a tramp to learn handle passes on, so you'll be able to get spins.

Start 180's now. Its sounds like you have the board control for em.

You could always try surface 180's and 360's a few times, then take them w2w. If you are already grabbing w2w and riding switch, there is no reason you couldn't start FS 180's and 360's today.

thanks, we're going out tomorrow and I think I'm going to work on the 180's and go from there. thanks for the advice!

work on consistently getting good pop off the wake. that can take you easily into a hs backroll or a tantrum. Make sure your ts and switch is good too.

definitely just work on your 180. then throw some grabs in there.
