Man everyone is progressing so fast it's crazy. I've mayeb rode twice in the past month, just never have time. What tricks are you guys doing differently than other people.

The past time out I finally landed a trick ive been working on. Its a hs w2w nose grab 180.. but about 7 feet into the flats. Seriously.

This year I've managed to learn w2w nose grabs (real wake) popping about 5 ft high. I've got down randomly popping 4' plus off my jet wake. shizzle, I haven't learned much this year either. I can't wait to ride today... maybe this will motivate!

i started the season out winching alot. got my shuvs consistant to the point where i was getting three shuvs first try out ans so forth. a month or so ago, i started riding behind the boat at least three times a week. started the re-entry process of doing the shuvs and got those. then i started concentrating on in to outs. started going big on them with tailgrabs and indies. then started hitting i/o shuvs. finally i got over my fear w2w. just no grabbed airs, but into the flats. started winching more often to work on flat stuff, and came too close on like three or four varials.
we are gonna finally build a rail today.
it just feels sooo good to know when you are progressing, and not just landing tricks here and there. you get to a certain comfort level where you feel you can start to figure tricks out..

this year i have started putting some good lines together progression is slower than i would like but new tricks are happening so i cant complain. Laughing

Riding every day helps a ton.
