I was easily the biggest rider at the camp. My last clip was that crip, I did it on a liquid force trip 141 versus my ronix district 138. Last year wakeboarding I wasn't any good if you look at my videos. The trick to my sudden and fast progression was eliminating the fear factor in snowboarding. This winter I learned multiple huge tricks snowboarding over the course of a couple months, including rodeo 540s, back flips, misty 540s, and a front flip. I also started hitting much bigger jumps that winter, also helped me get used to that airborne feeling you get. Although at first it did feel foreign on a wakeboard, I did manage to get a feel for it in a short amount of time. With coaching, I was easily able to somewhat transfer my skills from a snowboard to wakeboard, more easily done because I was not afraid to go upside down, etc. one thing easily noticed is that I cannot pass the handle. There are no spins above a 360 in the video of me and that is simply due to the fact that I never learned to pass the handle, haha perks and cons of being a snowboarder. All in all, awesome week.
