Dip_Krew

so i was demo'in a board today (s. bonifay) and some people were cheering me on from the dock. stupid being gives into peer pressure and i tried to go big my first trick rather then feeling the board out.

heres a pic of an attempted 360. u can see the terrable forum and i dont have pics of the landing but it was brutal, facial smash and almost knocked my out cold i was seeing stars.

right from the get go i had a bad line, terrable edging but i just gave er'

i payed the price:( lesson learned

What you're supposed to do is wait until you see a boatload of chicks and then crash on purpose right in front of them so you can hit on them as they pass by. Preferably crash trying a superman when attempting this.

yeah dip, you might wanna try spinning the other way for your first 360

btw it's called the SHANE board not the s. bonifay or the bonifay, if it was called the bonifay there could be confusion with the PARKS! (aka p. bonifay)

the reason you are inconsistant with the handle pass is because the backside 180 rotation is tough to pull on the handle to get into the right position to pass it.. just watch a video of yourself, and compare it to a pro video and you will notice your problems

The hard part of the trick IS the handle pass. I'll bet $50 you're spinning off the wake on the fs 3's and just grabbing for the handle. Pop, pull, pass.

Dip_Krew, I suspect you will land a FS 3 first if you ever try one...

BS 180's before bS 3s my friend....
FS 3's before BS 3's for most people as well.

Looks like you took a good beating, nothing wrong with that....

when i started doing fs 3's i would always look behind me when starting the second 180, and since my head wasn't spinning anymore neither was my body. I got it from snowboardin from doing slow bs 180's, i always look behind me to add some steez onto it Laughing

Well it's nice to see someone with stones atleast going for tricks they know they probably won't land. I'm sick of this "i finally did a W2W after 3 years of riding" bullcrap. Keep going you'll progress real fast with the right attitude.

Actually Dip-Krew I have always found BS spins easier then FS. For me this comes from snowboarding, it just feels more natural.
I learned a BS 180 before a FS and a BS 3 before a FS.
I found for me, with the handle pass it's all in the way you edge. I only edge moderatly rather then hard. Less line tension makes for easier handle passes. Also pop then spin. Good Luck.

Dip_Krew, you just said you can do a ts bs 180? is this true?

Could be both, do you land wrapped? I'm guessing it's a FS

Craig-R · Guest

that's fs. frontside mean that your front faces the boat first. backside means that your back faces the boat first

I doubt it. He can do HS BS 180, HS FS 180, TS BS 180 but can't land a HS FS 360?? Yeah, right.

Dip_Krew, being able to do a backroll/tantrum and not do a w2w toeside jump is completely different from landing a hs or fs bs180 and not being able to land a hsfs 3 or frontside 180 for that matter. the level of difficulty for bs 180's is waaaay above any frontside 180

You may continue.

I got one better than that. Last week my buddy was out by the shore (no one was boarding at this time) and everyone by the swim area was watching and pointing. They thought they were the stuff till they relized that they ran over the swim area bouy and was dragging it!!!! BURN
