Contests-ready or not???

I have been riding serious for about a year now, can jump w2w ts/hs, do pretty much all grabs, 180's, half cabs, fs 360's, suicides, shifty's, and all kinds of other basic tricks.
I am thinking about entering some contests this year and was curious if that is enough to do well in the intermediate or beginner category? I feel like I am learning new tricks everyday and I ride at least four days a week. Am I ready or what???

Go to a local comp and see what the riders in the division you would want to ride in are throwin down, then it will be easy for you to choose a division to ride in. Its all about havin a good time, just enter and throw what you got and see what happens. Its all good.

That's what I'm thinking, I just didn't want to enter into too low a class and be unfair to the guys competing or go into a class that's too advanced and be getting blown out the water. I will just go check the first one and see what its like.

also would you consider a raley an invert? Some categories say no spins or inverts and if you throw one then they take points away!

INT considers a Raley and invert, the comp should have a list of the tricks allowed per division. Have fun!

Jeff, they most likely won't take points away, just bump you up to the higher division

Sandbag as long as you can get away with it!

Dan, I took some last weekend and tried to down load them on the moomba thread. Couldn't get them to load. Will try resizing them this weekend.

Jeff, if you can do all that stuff, intermediate is the division for you.
