Currently i have:
TS backroll
HS backroll
TS backroll to revert
Tantrum
Raley / Hoochie Glide (working on Hoochie Krypt)
180's switch and regular

I've been trying 3's for a little while now TS and HS. Hoping to land those soon. Been thinking of trying to learn TS frontroll and/or Scarecrow to get my TS trick bag a little bigger.

What do you think i should be working on?

have you tried any hs roll to revert? and if your comfy switch, try a switch hs roll to revert a.k.a. cab roll which my buddy says is easier cuz your landing reg.

definantly go for the scarecrow and frontroll, heck i am going for them this weekend and i cant do but two things on your list(backrool and 180)

I would have to agree withOuachitaWaker, on this one, go for the heelside roll to revert i dont know what they are going to feel like on the water but i have them dialed on the tramp

wow. you have all those inverts without the 3? i think i need to pick up my inverts. i'd say learn the 3's or blind 1's. not that inverts aren't sick and look unreal but all wakeboarders know the spins are the tech. I'm workin on my ts 5 now n all i've got is a backroll. Maybe i just lack the genitalia needed.

Go for the 3... just be ready for some major head aches

Anything involving a handle pass! Spin to win...

But ts frontroll, scarecrow, hs r2r, half cab roll are certainly all good candidates, too. Try everything I've mentioned above once or twice. Whichever you get closest to, keep going for it.

You definetely need some spins! Get some FS 3s or BS 180s (or HS BS 3s, theyre easier than HS BS 180s for me).

iv noticed alot of people can do inverts more than spins, is a backroll easier than a 360

devon, it all depends man. I'd say backroll, tantrum, 360 are all at about the same level. But everyone seems to pick up one of those easier than the other 2, but it's different for everyone.

Thanks for the replies. I already know the pain of the 3's so I’m not afraid to keep trying them. (Nice cut/scar in the back of the head.) Inverts just came natural to me. The HS backroll I landed on my second attempt and my tantrum was on my first. TS backroll took a little more but was my first invert. I’m hoping to have a 3 in the next week or two. I’m pretty close right now, just landing about 45*-90* short. Just have to remember to Pop - pull (harder) - pass Very Happy

I actually ended up trying a whirlybird. Laughing

Yeah it's out of order of what I should be doing. But I LOVE the feel and look of them. I got super close to landing it my first attempts. For some reason I just feel more comfortable upside down than just spinning. I have been working on my 3’s and blind 180s
