Hi guys, a big hello to everybody!
I'm new here and also kinda new on the wakeboarding - just started a month ago and i'm loving it!
I'm using all my snowboarding knowledge to do good progress on the wb and so far it's going well!! Smile

Looking at the video which trick should I do next? I was thinking to still try grabs and do maybe method, stalefish etc.

On the snowboard I'm ok with 180s and 360s... but here i have to add the handle..

What do you think?

ps:
I know that the my ts jump was bad but I was too happy after the indy and i couldn't care less! Razz

I think you should keep trying those grabs and work on you HS/TS jumps because your technique does not look very good (extend those legs). Add some 180s if you feel like it, especially TS 180s, real easy to land. And by the way, I would not try method grabs if I were you, somehow the board always catches in the wind and it's almost impossible to pull it back in time, or maybe i'm doing something wrong, anyone ?

OK I should then extend more the legs - will try that thanks
Is that gonna give me just more pop in terms of high or also will launch me in the flat if I keep the same approach speed?

I second Gir's advice, but I'm not sure what he means on the method. It's a pretty natural front hand grab as long as you've got the little tweak down. That's not bad at all for just a short time riding. Keep pushing it.

Hey guys! So yesterday I went out and I believe I did some good progress on my stance. I've also improved my TS jumps - almost nailed the W2W..

Here is a video of a HS jump - I followed your advice and tried to stand taller, the result was definitely a bigger pop!

What do you think? Smile

Suggestions?

lmao that song in the video made me laugh. HS looks pretty good, make sure you can grab all over the place while doing your HS jumps (will make sure you've got your balance down), but most importantly get those TS w2w jumps down.

When you're done with that if you really want to progress the fastest get switch HS and TS w2w jumps locked.
