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.

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.

Laughing Laughing 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.

Last time I checked, a HS frontroll didnt exist....Did you mean HS Frontflip or TS Frontroll?
