I made this little video the other day with a few tricks I liked, I just really wanted to use this song.

Anybody want to give me some tips to make my front bigs look better? I feel like I cant pop them or spin them right Evil or Very Mad

Knightrider, like ive told you, get the nose pointed straight forward before you do the trick.

wakemitch is right. Also, start the pop like a fs 180, wait and then shuv your feet. It might feel like your waiting too long, but you wont. this will be more pop and a more level spin.

thanks for the compliments guys,

I know I can make it look better and have more control, but Im not exactly sure how to go about that.

I dont want to just race to the next trick everytime I learn a trick. I rather have control and precision then a bunch of sloppy tricks.

Knightrider, i think one way to make pretty much any trick better is pop it higher and catch it earlier

still want to pop these higher, need to ollie harder into the 180 i think.
I love teh board <3

Mario C., dont ollie harder into the 180. make a crisp ollie slow 180, and then flick your feet.

Mario C., i don't think about it even remotely as a 180 i just scoop a big fat fs shuv but chuck it a bit harder, see how that goes

alright then, gonna start poppin the shuv more to initiate the trick... gotta pop it straight up with me opposed to throwin out.
thanks fellaz

Mario C., dont do it while edging out. even if you are flat based make sure the board is pointed straight forward, not towards shore before you pop it. you and chad are moving away from the wake during your front bigs. by starting straight you will go up instead of out.

wakemitch, awesome! i got into that bad habit of cutting & throwing learning b/s bigs. maybe thats why i slack out on those...
gonna start throwin everything tight roped for now on. will post results.

Cool
