Good invert to try next?

i can do tantrums, hs backroll and roll to revert, ts backroll and roll to revert, frontroll, and scarecrow.
i was wondering what a good invert to try next would be? i thought about front flips but i heard they're really hard on the knees and my knees are messed.

ya. ts and hs 360 with grab, w2w ss ts 180 and w2w ss hs 180 with grabs. i'm also working on 540s and bs spins. i just want to know what a good invert to try and learn next is.

i've tried elephants before but i never do enough of the scarecrow 180 before bringing it back.

Pacco LF, a tootsie roll isn't even that easy of a trick. i've only landed one and now i can't really get the rotation anymore. a TS backroll 2 blind is easier, IMO.

i know its not easy,but he seems like he has plenty of invert experience to give it a try,he does have a ts frontroll,and scarecrow

elephant, tantrum 2 fakie, hs roll 2 blind, tantrum 2 blind, and a crow mobe would be good ones to move on to.

if he is strong riding blind a pete would be a good trick also

wtbamoomba, i think a pete would be fairly difficult as well. i've had trouble with them....i'm going to try them again next time out. the crow mobe is my easiest mobe though. if you are bold, go for a heelside mobe. the falls are just minor faceplants on the landing...but it's a sweet looking trick.

Tantrum10, i was gonna suggest a half cab roll just as something to pick up real quick and easy. but if you want to go for something gnarly i'd suggest the crow mobe. you could probably just cheat the crow do the fs 180 early and then on the way down do the bs 180.

jpminter, thats kinda how i do it, i get to 3/4 of the rotation, spot my landing, then spin the last 180. it's a nice, easy, and smooth rotation for me.

thanks for all the suggestions guys! i worked a lot on spinning backside and landing blind this weekend but i'm still not too comfortable with it. i did a really bad elephant(not sure if it would even count) and i tried a tantrum to fakie. so next weekend i'll work on that stuff and maybe a half cab roll for now.

Tantrum10, you could even go for a heelside front flip. those are fairly easy. just make sure you are squared up to the boat with the whole rotation or it may be considered a "frantrum"

ohio_wake_2008, i'm thinking about trying front flips, but i've heard they are hard on the knees, and i have a lot of problems with my knees from skateboarding. but i think i might try that. it'll be ok just as long as i get most of the rotation.

holdsworth · Posted: Aug 07, 2006 6:18 pm Post subject:

Tantrum10, that's probably only when you take it into the flats. most people i see in videos will edge in hard and take it way out far so it looks more of a cartwheel rotation and can NOT be mistaken for a tantrum. i take mine wake 2 wake, but pull harder with my back hand to open up to the boat.

ohio_wake_2008, alright, sweet. i've always wanted to do that trick but i've been to worried. i thought you pretty much HAD to go into the flats, but i'm going to try the back hand thing and go wake to wake. thanks

holdsworth · Posted: Aug 08, 2006 6:26 am Post subject:

Tantrum10, yep. once you get comfortable with those, it's not hard to do the frontflip to fakie. you just pull the whole way around with your back hand to get the 180 you need.

wtbamoomba, i'm going to work on it before the season ends. i've got a stomach virus right now and won't ride for the next few days. kyle and i are kinda "competing" against eachother to see who lands it first Laughing

he's goin' down Twisted Evil
