What is a good first trick to learn? I can clear the wake with good air heel and toe side, and now Im ready to move on. I have a whole 7 days on the lake and I want to learn something great!!!

Try like maybe a grab. An indy, tail, etc. Or try a 180. Or do like what I did and learn a backroll before your 180. They are easier than they look.

Cool I'll try the backroll, I have done grabs I forgot that one. Then I'll work on my 180's!

I go out on wed. tomorrow Razz

, and I will try it!! I'm all so boarding behind my new boat for the first time, so I'll have to get use to that also. We have a air boom no tower but I'm still excited. I saved up along time to buy my boat. I got a 93' MasterCraft, I love it soooooo much. I'll take some pic's and post them even if there wipe outs.

It was my first time out this season. I got i lot of air and some how did a invert of some kind. I got so excited that I landed on my head!!
It hurt alot, is the backroll on the H.S. or the T.S. Oh the only new thing I did was butter side my wake skate. Well im going again on friday This time I'll have some one take pic.s Thanks for all your help I love the suport.

GRLYWAK: hey , i'm a Paramedic here in Orlando.. I'm going to be in LA for the x-games and would love to find a pull while I am there. Could gladly fill your boat, and if you ever get to Orlando, would return the favor on our lake behind the SAN. Email me at :shagit007@aol.com , thanks, Mike
