Raley
hs front roll
hs back roll
ts front flip
ts back flip

these are my goals for this summer. I got "The Book" this winter and have been trying to build a better foundation in the few times I have been out this winter. With temps in the mid 80's, I guess it's time to get to work....

hs 3
ts 3
backroll
By April, once I can land those I can make new goals.
get better switch
be more aggressive and most importantly spend more time on the water with the people I care about.

HS 3 and/or Tantrum

(jarrod) · (jarrod) **Join Date: May 2003** 03-31-2006, 7:15 AM

The trick I'm trying to learn is called "consistency."

I would also like to get back my HS 5, and BS 180.

(jcv) · (jcv) **Join Date: Oct 2005** 03-31-2006, 7:16 AM

half cab
all my 180's (regular stance)
hs 3
ts 3 (both with a handle pass and blind)
hs bs 3
backroll
raley
ts frontroll
poked grabs
shifties
late spins

i know i'm setting my goals a little high, and landing all those in one season is a little far-fetched, but i ride 4-5 times a week. and i need to push myself in order to not fall into the "just do what's comfortable" routine

(sp0tts) · (sp0tts) **Join Date: Jun 2004** 03-31-2006, 7:25 AM

Big & Clean grabbed 180s
Grab my tantrum
Grab my raley (OHH)
Toeside Frontroll & Scarecrow (very close on both)
HS FS 3 (never tried one)
TS FS 5
Off Axis Spins
Toeside Backroll
Batwing
Maybe a whirly if I get all those consistent.

My list is big too, but I'm very close on half of the tricks, hopefully I'll have at least half of them consistent by the end of the summer.

I would like to get all my old tricks back.

Most of all stay on one board.

I also look forward to riding with new people and helping and watching them progress.

(guido) · (guido) **Join Date: Jul 2002** 03-31-2006, 10:22 AM

I want to get some spins off axis and stop being lazy. I need to grab every time I spin. I'd also like to add a couple more inverts and maybe try out a few crowmobe's.

The coolest trick I could pull this summer is to find a new friend with a boat when I move to Okinawa so that I can actually board sometime in the next 3-6 years!

Other than that just get better at the Tantrum, BS Roll and spins.

(twakess) · (twakess) **Join Date: Mar 2002** 03-31-2006, 10:55 AM

bg, yes I am going to ride in the comps this year. Haven't figured out what division to ride in yet. Ya we do need to hook up. For spring ride I might come up for a day.

(bigpapaf1f) · (bigpapaf1f) **Join Date: May 2005** 03-31-2006, 11:05 AM

Cool! There will be a lot of good riders in expert! Join the fun with us! There is already like 6 or 7 of us that I know will push each other all season, Its goin to be a lot of fun! tuff but fun.

But if I get consistant on that Crowmobe I think I will ride Outlaw! (no mobes in expert)

You guys are nuts.. some of your lists are enough for 4 years of boarding.

I'm going for the OHH and an S-Bend this year.. That's it, those two, and I'll be happy. Also want to work on some basic wakeskate stuff.. sex change, kick flip, shove-it..etc

alanp 04-01-2006, 1:17 AM

well i was thinking more like one trick for this post but since everyone is listing a host of tricks i guess ill post my other goals. crow mobe, relearning an indy tantrum, hs front flip, ts oa 5. ts bs 3, hs bs 5, indy glide, freakin TS FRONT ROLL. what a retard i cant land that trick. you have no idea how many attempts i have at it. my plan is to keep this post alive througout the summer and note my progress. hopefully you guys to the same and indicate what you are doing to reach you goals.

I will build up enough courage to take my heelside Krypt to a full circle and make my honey proud!

All I really want this season is an off axis spin, switch Krypt, And not to injure myself out on the water.

Id like to get better more stylie grab 3s hs and ts, maybe take them off axis later in the season...
I am close on ts and hs 5s... I'd like a tantrum and a backroll...maybe switch 3s or 5s, backside 180s and 3s... Im not too picky on what I learn... wanna get 2 or 3 of those checked off and I will be happy
big stuff off the double up, a shuvit on the skate, more w2w on the skate,

(bbr) · (bbr) **Join Date: Apr 2002** 04-01-2006, 5:16 PM

I want to get my Pete down, learn a whirly, tootsie roll, and finally get my tantrum to blind as well. Should be a great summer.

alanp 04-02-2006, 9:22 AM

yesterday was my first ride of the year. more or less to see where im at since i havent ridden but a couple of times since august 05. i didnt try a ts 5 b/c my threes where a little sketchy but landable. my axis on my bs 180's was off and and was causing me not to be able to land b/s threes. i didnt try a ts roll to revert but my ts backrolls were strong so hopefully i can land them next time out. so once i get all my old tricks back and consistent ill start the o/a 3. water temps about 60 and air about 80. till next time

(malibuboarder75)

tantrum to blind, ts fs 7, hs fs 7, hs bs 5, ts bs 3, pete rose, moby dick, crow mobe and maybe some more raley combos.

my shoulder is screwed up from a raley I did in the cold weather, hope it heals before I go back home from school.

Update:
TS Backrolls are getting close, probably dial it next time out.
Tantrum to Blind, only tried once and got suprisingly close, I'm hoping to stick it on the next attempt.
