I am fairly new to wakeboarding, but i think everything is goin ok so far. I got the hs w2w down pretty good, and ocasionally I can throw in some grabs. I can do surface 180's good, and occasionally I'll land an ollie 180. I am ok at riding switch, but I have been practicing switch riding alot lately. At this point I don't really know what to do. What tricks should i be tryin? or what things should i work on to improve my riding? Thnx.

I was a gymnast for a couple years so I i can do flips easy. I was wondering if I should try an invert. I was watching videos on tantrums but I'm still not sure about anything yet.

from reading other posts, most people will recommend you solidify your w2w, both hs and ts. get your w2w and ollie 180s down and really be comfortable riding switch before you go on to inverts. Everyone says to get the building blocks perfect before moving up.

I still haven't got the toeside w2w down yet but it is somethin I'm gonna start workin on soon. Ill try to get my 180's down and get them consistent. I can't do very much when i am riding switch though. I never tried to jump the wake switch but I can carve ok. I can sorta nollie a skateboard but it feels different on a wakeboard, and i just can't feel or visuallize myself gettin air while riding switch. I have watched the book dvd on "Building a Foundation" and I can do most of things it shows, but I'm not even close to having them perfected.
