of course a wake jump first, but then i landed one HS 3 and never could do it again. but now i how consistant backrolls. i don't even know if u can count the 3 i think it wasn't suppose to happen and just did one time and one time only.

has anyone else only landed a trck once and never done it again?????????

i actually learned alot of my grabs before i could do a nice wake2wake...id just do a regular heelside wake jump, grab the board and land in the middle of the wake lol

i dont' know how many times i got nose bleeds trying to go wake to wake. i never stood up at the bottom of the wake, so i never took off right and i would hang on too long and my face eventually became numb to the pain.

hahaha I ride off a seadoo because i dont have the money to buy a wakeboard boat and my friend and i were determined to go wake2wake and we ended up getting it but we were going about 30mph so we made sure not to bite it

I accidentaly did a surface 180, but i would consider my first trick a w2w, hopefully you can do a w2w before you try a backflip....deosn't that make more sense?

ya he was asking about major tricks. i think just about everyone has done a surface 180 accidentally sometime when they first started wakeboarding. i know i did a powerslide and came out switch and i fell right away b/c i didn't have my balance.

Ive done a couple of fluke blind 360's, have tried to land more but I just cant seem to do it, I must have fluked out the first two times lol

but yeah, as the tricks go, i wouldnt call a w2w a maor trick, so i put backroll.

Obviously it's wake to wake but that's a building block for everything else. I learned a HS FS 360 then went to HS BS 360. Spin to win. Still not consistant with either one though. Thats the goal this summer and then work tantrums and backrolls.

I actually know a kid that doesn't have a solid wake to wake that can actually do a backroll. His backroll is easily twice as high as his normal jump. It is amazing.

I put other.I would say my first time hitting a kicker.

I ride the cable so wake to wake isn't really gonna happen there. But my first major trick was a heelside 360. stuck it the fourth attemp...nice!!

Started wake to wake, then 180's, and now 360's. I was landing a liitle over 50% of them by the end of last season. I just bought a tower, so I'm hoping that it'll help lengthen my hang time. That way I should be able to land them more consistantly. If I'm feeling crazy this summer I'm gonna try a backroll.

I learned a bunch of surface stuff first because the first time I tried wake to wake I cracked the back of my head with my board and had to go for 8 stiches...

My first real trick would have to be a tantrum. For most poeple it would be a 180 but man do I suck at riding witch!

what do u guys all think is the easiest invert? i ride behind a malibu sunsetter and i just got a boom for this year so ill be able to go much bigger.

ppl say tantrums r the easiest. i can't do them. but ya. my friend said u carve out heelside, cut in hard then when u hit the wake, arch back. i probably want to get that down by the end of the season.
