My first was a tantrum2blind and second was a moby dick. Alot of people first ones are crow mobes. You could try tootsie rolls or a roll2blind also though.

whats your strongest invert. you should just try adding a 180 onto whichever one you feel most comfortable with.

even though, im horrible at t/s fronts, i managed to learn a tootsie roll with relative ease. the h/s early pass r2b is just about the same trick only the take off is alittle easier and the landing a bit harder.

tootsie, r2b, moby dick, will all require an early handle pass made just after leaving the wake. once you can get the handle, the rest of the tricks are cake(only have 1st hand exp w/ tootsie & r2b, but i hear moby is just as well).

You could try a tantrum to revert.

Like Headless_Chicken said though.. what inverts are you good at? Go with one of those and then add to it.

Yes ontrider, he could try a tantrum2fakie. If it wasnt for that he wants to try a handle pass one. Way to give some advice. Yeah yeah just do what he said.

I learned a pete rose off a kicker pretty easily and pass the handle. Also what about doing a wrapped KGB to get the feel for the trick and then doing a KGB for his handle pass invert?

I just learned my first yesterday, it was a pete rose without a grab.

is pete rose easier behind the boat or on the tramp because I can spin it all on the tramp

dude, its sooo much easier doing it behind a boat, while being pulled at 23 mph, having to clear a huge gap, and resist the pull of a 4000# boat.

That vs. being pulled at 0 mph, jumping straight up and down in one place, and resisting the pull of a non-moving tree. hmmmm.

I kno your a newb, but come on. stupid questions get stupid answers.

Thomas P. dude I have more trouble with it on the tramp than off the kicker IDK why i just do because it kind of has a gainer feel to it on the tramp and throws me off a little.

isnt a gainer a backflip with forward traveling motion? there isnt any motion forward or backward on the tramp. its all how you jump. you can just as easily do any and every trick on the tramp jumping and landing in the same exact spot. if you do a gainer on the tramp its because your starting to huck the flip before you're off the mat and your body's thrust angle (the angle at which you push off the tramp) will cause you to travel side to side in relation to the tree or whatever you tie the tramp rope to.

my friends tramp has a circle graphic about 1 foot in diameter in the center of the tramp and we always have jumped and landed in pretty much the same spot for every trick (jumping in the center will also give you greater lift) give or take a foot. there is no question, if i could throw all my tramp moves on the water
I would have my own pro model board by now.
