ya I started like a couple weeks ago, APRIL 27th to be exact(I know cuz it was my bday) and right now Im hittin ollies, tryin HS Jumps off the wake wake and I guess you would saw FS boardslides on the wake, cuz I ride goofy and I hit the drivers side wake, I bring my right foot to my right side when I slide the wake, so I guess its frontside right?

Volcom_wakeboarder, fs boardslide is correct. but with lip tricks it's not what direction you spin, but what direction you are in relation to the wake, ledge, wave. so if your facing the wake it's fronside and backside if your back is to the wake. I think some people are confused about this.

Well, i can throw a 360 shove-it over one of those no-wake bouys (the white and orange ones). Not very consistantly, but i'll throw up some pics as soon as i pick up my new digital camera.

w2w 180, or shuvit....both about the same difficulty.

shuvit (ollie)...took like two days on the water to land consistently, but I havn't skated this season yet, just boarded. So not too sure about being able to stick it anymore Confused
