looking for new tricks

So last week at naci I was wakeboarding, and on my final set I didn't fall. I added some new grabs to some of my tricks, but want a fresh trick to work on. So far I can:
-HS/TS FS 180 with indy, tail, & stalefish grabs w2w
-TS/HS indy, tail, & stalefish grabs w2w
-HS Method w2w
-small indy shifty
I didn't post this in the trick tips section because I don't need help yet, just need to know what to start working on.
Thanks for any help.

I'm in a very similar position as you, and have been working on a HS backroll and soon to start trying some HS FS 3's.

I have "The Book: Base Inverts," this will teach me a backroll, right?

HS Blind 180, its hard to make inverts look cool IMO.

I'll try the blind 180 hs and ts, I think that spins have the most style. And then some inverts, I am just trying to expand my bag of tricks

you should try a toeside backroll... i have not hit one yet but I do have a backroll and a tantrum. but the toeside backroll is easier to learn and I wish I would have tried it earlier. plus after you can add a indy and that has some style.

just like ty said try the toeside backroll, its not a hard trick at all and the landing are easy. you might want to try a tantrum, the tantrum is the easiest flip IMO.

I know some guys that offer lessons on Naci that would be more than willing to help you out. Your boat or theirs. At 13 with the tricks you are pulling if you can get some lessons and ride with people better than you, you will progress very fast.

Yah, it sucks because I am the only one out of my friends that can go w2w hs and ts and do tricks. I might attend West Coast Campshttp://westcoastcamps.com/wakeboarding%20camps.htm this summer and learn new stuff there. Maybe next year in high school I will meet some wakeboarding friends.

Chris, definitely go to West Coast Camps!!! Those guys are awesome and you will have the week of your life. Two of my good friends are coaches there and trust me, you will not forget the lessons they teach. Ranch, Ranger, Beast, B-Rad, Sqwenne and now the Brown Trout are all awesome coaches & it is well worth it, plus you'll be a ripper out there!
