i saw a guy out on lake gaston throwing huge back rolls, 360s and tantrums, and some tricks i never saw before. but they were all on his HS W2W jumps and when he came back in the wake on his TS he wouldnt do anything. i watched and watched and after an hour i went inside my house. i thought id tell everyone. work on youre TS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it would've been awesome ive he could do them switch or on his TS, but some people only work on one thing rather than what they should be working on

well progressing at one thing at a time isnt a bad thing...although i understand what ur talking about , he does need some work on ts stuff but his 3 tricks can be macthed by 3 ts inverts, ts back, ts front, and ts 3. then he would be a well rounded wakeboarder...maybe working on hs stuff is his thing...if u know the guy help him out.

I stay rounded, with hs and ts. I am going to try a switch invert, possibily a half cab roll. Always good to keep up your spins and stuff too...

heck right now my inverts are uneven....8 total (still getting 2 consistant) but it's actually more ts than hs...ts is just more comfortable for me for some reason....5 ts 3 hs

what kind of boat was he riding behind. Did it have a tower or no?

i see your point.. but he may just be enjoying himself... sometimes i dont feel like getting served up on some stuff i dont do well... you just want to ride and have fun... always pushing your progression can get old, i like to remember why im riding, for fun... just my 2 cents... we are all different though

if he's not riding tournaments, no reason to purposely practice ts tricks, do what you like to do.

i think that ts is a lot better for me than hs...way more smoother on getting a rotation. what do you guys think?

Wake4Life08, ts inverts seem easier to me. the rotations are easier.

Years ago I went to TWC & I was the same way, as I cut back out for a HS jump, they stopped the boat & were like, "wtf are you doing?" Needless to say I learned TS right then & there & was money on it after that set.

My friends & I have a "2 jump" rule, you get two jumps HS or TS of something that you can do & then you have to try something new. It's amazing how much you can learn when doing that. It's still fun because new stuff is the best.
