| Can you do the spins consitantly?...Work on your tantrums and brolls more. Definitely dial in toeside. Next should probably be a heelside frontroll by the way...BUT DO NOT let it get in the way of you learning toeside W2W, and TS spins. Toeside is very important. learn it. |

I agree learn toe side you'll thank your self later. I've been boarding for about 5 years now. I never really practiced toeside when I was begining. Now I try but get frustated. _________________ Grab some pine meat! |

Work on consistency... but from here it's a matter of where you want to go. If you want to have a ton of inverts under your belt keep working at them (roll to revert, tantrum to blind, raley, whirly). If you want to be a good spinner I'd work on those next. (Toeside 180, backside 180s, ts 540, then hs 540).
Definately work on your toeside. It's embarasing to land a huge invert and then scurry back over the wake because you can't ride switch or toeside. Being well-rounded is important for progression. _________________ You have just entered the twilight zone. |

thats an understatement...especially if you're riding with someone who maybe doesn't have inverts, but has solid toeside...lol. I'm still working on my toeside...I wish I would have focused on it more when I was learning... |

| Get you 180's and 3's consistent. Also land your B-Rolls and Tantrums consistent. TS is a must, Like previously said you don't want to throw a 3 then just hurry over the wake because TS in not there. Also get your grabs dialed in, and start poking them out. A huge poked out grab into the flats is stylish. Also backside 180's and blind 180's and 3's. This might sound like a lot, but it is just progressing on what you already have. Good luck and remember just keep it fun. |
