This Saturday will be my first competition.

It is the Monster Energy Wake Up at Pineview here in Utah.

My question is which class should I enter?

It is a beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Outlaw format.

I'm not sure whether to enter beg. or int.

I can stomp my tantrum everytime and have landed my 3 a few times.

Beg doesn't allow any spins or inverts which is why i'm thinking Intermediate, my only concern is that I am still horrible with my toe side wake jumps, its almost for sure that it will end up in a fall.

What do you think???

Intermediate sounds about right for you.

As far as not being able to jump toeside, can you jump switch heelside instead?

When I competed, I only had 2 decent toeside tricks so I did a bunch of stuff switch heelside like grab 180's.

mm, if you cant jump toeside I would suggest going in beginner, just do some one wake toeside jumps and do everything except for your tantrum, 180's, grabs, shifty's, just try not to repeat the same thing

How did it go tyty? I was there that weekend, but not for the comp. I had to leave Saturday morning for a Harley ride. I had some great water Thursday and Friday though. I have never done any comps, cause I'm kinda like you, but my easy stomp is a back roll.
