First Competition...

This will be the first competition on sat. the 27th at OWC that I am entering. I have been wakeboarding for about 3 months and I can throw quite a few tricks, and a few inverts. I'm going to enter the novice bracket because I'm not 100% proficient on my backroll and such. The novice class has no inverts. I have a run planned out for 5 tricks on each pass with 2 passes but i'm counting on taking more time than planned so i will probably only get 4 tricks in each. Here's the run

1st pass
hs tail nosebone
ts nosegrab
hs indy stiffy
ts 180
hs roast beef

2nd pass
ts slob 180
hs 180
switch ts indy 180
hs method
ts 360

Any input on whether i should cut each pass short by a trick or change something up would be appreciated or if this is a solid run; any input would be appreciated. Lata

on your last trick of each pass, throw an invert or a good spin. Even if you don't land it, it'll look good. Just do your consistent stuff first... Also, hold the grabs as long as possible and take everything super huge. Tweak out your grabs. Show them you have style Cool

dont throw stuff that you might fall on, in comps the most inportant thing is making it back to the dock. also OWC is kinda long you might be able to fit more tricks in then just 5. dont rush anything but put as many tricks in each way with out looking rushed. mostly just stand up your run

I thought a HS 360 wasn't allowed in the novice category
