OK here's the deal, I'll list the tricks I can do and you tell me what next. I'm still working on my first invert but then again this is only my third month.

Tricks: Mute grab, indy grab, nose grab, heelside grab, roast beef, bunny hop 180, fashon air, backscratcher, method grab, twist.

I have a small I/O boat, no tower, no pylon, cheap board, 12" ski handle, fat tube rope, and a cheap vest. As you can see I only have the absolute bottom of the line equiptment to use. I still go w2w on almost all jumps. Next year I'll be getting fat sacs, a new prop with 4 blades and a different pitch, possibly a pylon, definatley a new board, handle, and line.

What tricks can I do under these conditions? I almost have the 360 down but go off axis on about half of them, also am very close to the tantrum but land with lots of slack, the board hits the rope once and a while, and sometimes I also accidentally throw in a 90 degree turn. Have tried the grab 180 but slide out on the landing. I really wanna stick the tantrum soon because I have my first comp coming up quick.

Basically I want trick options and tips. Thanks in advance. -Greg

Can he do a regular Frontside 180 yet (w2w)? I didn't think he mentioned it, learn it regular first I'd say. Learn to ride switch well behind that boat and learn how to do all kinds of 180's, wake to wake, ollie, backside, frontside, switch, regular. You could land all that stuff behind just about anything i think.
