Be sure not to neglect your switch side. I made the mistake of progressing my regular side too fast, and now I've gotta go back and bring the goofy side up to speed. It's like starting all over again...

Good luck to you!

Work on your toeside jumps for sure. What I would do every time now is do a w2w hs jump and try different grabs indy first probably. Then come back and do a toeside jump. Once you are comfortable getting a little pop off your toeside, ride switch for a little bit so you are comfortable turning. Then try a regular ts 180. Its definately the easiest 180. Then once you have that down try a hs 180. Then switch jumps and switch 180s
