smlparksguy133, I thought the same thing...

You hard charge the HS roll like theirs no tomorrow. I like the aggressive style to your riding, what ever works right.

Nice Vid!

yea Jdogg its really a matter of neccessity ..for some reason over the years my nice normal backroll has left and a mexican backroll has taken its place..i cant seem to find my way back as now i have a real bad habit i cant break of throwing them that way..i try them normal and i dont land them so i rather land them worng then crash all the time right Smile

it makes it tough to now learn a r2r ....

Yes guys theres three different riders..im the first guy landing inverts ,the other two guys were trying threes and 180s...i dont have problem with any 180s other then w2w blinds and switch TS 180s...

you're my boy bill!

Nice riding. I really liked the video. You were nailing those crows. What's the difference between a mexican backroll and a regular one?

A mexican backroll you tend to throw your head straight down (similar to doing a front flip on a trampoline)...

Hey, no problem Bill that you can't get the Mexican out of your system, just start trying throwing them to blind. Reminds me of myself where I first learned a regular backroll, then learned the roll to revert. Now I can't do a regular backroll anymore, it goes to revert automatically.

Not to sound in any way negative, but I thought the vid was a great example of seeing body control when holding the rope in close. Seeing billm throw the tricks like it's so easy, then the other guys sort of falling off balance jumping the wake and spinning pointed out to me the difference in body control. I wish I could put it all together like that when I ride, billm. You make it look so easy, just like the pros do. Thanks for sharing. Keep them coming.

Bill try shortening your cut on your back roll. This will force you to stand tall off the wake. Right now you are coming in hot and collapsing when you hit the wake. I think shortening the cut will force you to do it right again. Just some advice from what I saw.

Those were some big crows, but it looks like you're forgeting to stand tall on your front rolls (more flat than your crow). If you ride up the wake more and stand tall before tucking your head, they may go more up than out.

Either way, to each his own and you can tell me to pound sand but I thought I would offer some advice Very Happy

Benrud no but they were close ,scott was trying a 180 Stanfiled the 360...

Bable no sand pounding ill look into that when it slows down a bit this summer.I always take advice with a grain of salt sometimes i use the info or other times it just read it and move on..thanks..BTW after looking at the vids i can see i was bringing way more heat then usual on those rolls ..maybe it was becasue it was a new board(141 demented) i was riding that weeknd..first time on it so i was making sure i got over the wake . Cool

Christy thanks i have been working hard on consistency with those tricks but if you saw my new tricks im working on you wouild no its still rough and ugly trying somehting your not comfortable with Smile

Bill, oh you got over the wake alright!!! Your riding looks painful to my sore body; you go big.
