i'm trying to find a good first trick to start with. i can clear the wake heelside but not toeside. i was thinking maybe back of front roll, tantrum maybe? but idk. any suggestions?

I'd start with a 180. Try it ollie or inside out wake before you bring it wake to wake though. As long as you can ride switch it will come quick.

I started doing a few grabs today. Gonna try a grab + 180 tomorrow and see how it turns out. I've never done a W2W 180 yet so it could be interesting. I figure I'll stick a few more grab tricks. then try a coupe 180's. then try combining them.

yeah i was thinking about trying a couple wake to wake grabs. as far as 180s go i tried it ollie and just ate crap cuz i cant ride switch. i was thniking maybe getting up switch and then 180 to regular would be easier

I'm slowly geting better at riding switch. All I do is when the wind picks up I start riding switch and practice carving and such. A week ago I could barely even ride switch. 2 good sets and I can carve around pretty good. Gonna try some switch heelside jumps soon.

dude get 180's heelside AND toeside w2w before any inverts are done. you gotta learn impecable board control otherwise inverts will be tough to handle.

I think it might be easier for some people to learn the inside out 180s before the ollie 180s. There is a little bit less to think about, but before you take it w2w, you should have the ollie 1s down.

ive got the 3s down not good with the 1s bc im not so good riding switch yet...but i attempted my first tantrum today and got the board under me first try just cant hold the rope. So if your going invert id say try the tantrum

I agree with Prizzy here, no inverts at this point. It is only more likely to injure you. Just take the natural progression at this point and get (at the very least) your wake to wake FS 1s.

I would focus on w2w from either side down solid, first. Then I would move to grabs. Then I would move to inside out 180s, then w2w 180 and ollie 180s, then finally any inverts.

However, I am still at w2w's so you may not be inclined to take my advice. What I outlined above is my plan. Everytime I go out I don't come back in unless I have made progress.
