i improved a ton. i went in just being able to go w2w helside and toeside no i can clear it switch heelside and do one wake switch ts. i can also do w2w 180 every way except switch ts. now i can do front rolls and am pretty close to a tantrum and today was my first day trying inverts. i just thought id share my great expirience and encourege lessons to anyone thats wondering or wants to improve a ton quickly.

Nice improvement. How long did you take lessons for? I cant imagine you learned all that in one morning...

well... it was supposed to be a 4 hour lesson with three people but the 2 ppl i was doing it with forgot about it so it was just me. i ended up riding probably 2 and a half hours. i probably couldve done the tricks but i wouldnt have pushed myself to try them.

Thats a whole shitload of progression, you just did in 2 and a half hours what it took me a whole summer. Who was your teacher? Hook me up.
