OK, i dont get to ride as often as id like, so I was wondering if there is anything i can do to help me learn tricks while not on the water..i dont have a trampoline, i have a skateboard but cant do any tricks, i just roll around. My cousin has some kind of thing that he built that he uses to practice his spins...but anyway....any suggestions?

Visualize, man. Work out, eat healthy, and visualize.

I dont have a trampoline either , but this winter to get my passes down on 3's I just nailed some old shoes to a deck and tied my rope to a tree. also visualize like the others said. one problem for me is actually seeing the rotations and trying to figure out what my body is doing. You can also rewind , play , pause etc your wake vid's , or grab a lego man or something to spin around in class , if your willing to take the weird looks from people haha.

get a trampoline. One of the best ways of learning Tantrums and spins first off then more advanced tricks. Plus a Tramp will keep you super fit if you do a few sets per day.

Over here we had a storm and my trampoline took off. Fortunatly it missed my van, car and the boat but it did take part of the garage roof with it. I had to walk 300 feet to get it back.

Good luck

AndyDeeJay, haha that sux man!! any ways , go running to keep up the legs and endurance. tramps do help out alot too , not only do they help with tricks , but like andydeejay said they are great for fitness reasons. i dont have one (parents dont want me to break my neck) but whenever im at my friends houses who have them i wear myself out.
