I started wakeboarding last summer and this is my 2nd summer doing it, i went out for the 3rd or 4th time yesterday this year and i learned how do 180 over the wake and switch 180 over the wake and now i would like to start to learn other tricks, what tricks would you recomend trying next i would like to do a backroll or something, any tips on what tricks to start trying and how to do them.
Thanks for any help.

if your already getting the 180's and stuff and you feel comfortable then i say a backroll is good idea. all the times that i have tried a backroll they have never hurt when i have fallen. i think this is the safest invert there is. now im not saying there is no way you can get hurt because there always that chance but it jsut seems like less people get injured when attempting a backroll. i think this is the first trick you should learn now because it will help you with other inverts. hope i helped

go for a backroll but make sure you have some good grabs down and can grab your 180s both ts and hs.

WakeKid07, i agree. i tried to to backrolls and 360s but the tantrum is definitly the easiest to get the spin imo. also on 3's you can land really bad and it hurts alot more
