I always plan it out and run it a couple of times before the competition. Don't necessarily try to put your biggest tricks in, put in the ones you have dialed and can make look really stylish. Because chances are everyone else will be throwing near the same things, you just want yours to look better than theirs.

I've never been in one before, but everyone says do your best tricks first and last to leave an impression on the judges.

well I just compited in my first one yesterday and there was a pro rider out there given us some tips b4 ..... he told us to go out and throw tricks from easiest to hardest ... hardest trick bein the last .... thats to kinda get u goin and feelin it so u dont go out cold and try and throw your best trick ... also he said it is good to have an idea of the order that u wanna go with your tricks that runs well into each other ..... if u mess up of arent gonna have enough time cause of a botched landin then your just gonna have to wing it from there ..... we got to ride behind a Air Nautique team 226 loaded down to the max ..... that wake was freakin huge
