Hey all...
Names Scott and i'm just dropping in here, hoping to take my boarding to the next level...
I've been riding for a while and can do all the basic grabs and 180's and 360's... Just wondering where i should take it from there?
I'm 16 and mainly board on the Hawkesbury River and sometimes up at the Myall Lakes...
If anyone could throw some advice my way, that would be awesome...
Cheers.

hey scott

can you do all of that switch? if you feel comfortable maybe go for an invert, tantrum or backroll seem to be peoples first. Also have you got all of your 180s down, hs fs, hs bs, ts fs, ts bs ?? if not work on them.

I can do all the 180's most of the time, but yeah, they could always use some work.
But you recommend to try a invert, tantrum or backroll... Next time i'm out... i shall start giving them a go...
Thanks for your help.

McPie, I agree with marcuskg. Try getting good at switch. It helps a TON in the long run. If you arent good at HS inverts, you could try a TS frontroll or a scarecrow. Also if those 360s you can do are HS, try them TS. Theyre pretty easy if you can do them HS first.
