Nice riding guys. Good to see some spins in there. Switch tantrum? Damn.

Gid, try waiting a little longer to spin on your backside 3. It may help.

Also for both of you, remember to keep your chest moving forward (towards shore) at the end of the rotation of the toeside front.

Awesome riding guys.

Nice riding guys. Christopher, switch tantrum was sick, congrats. And the 3 was looking good too.

Gid, your front flip is looking very smooth.

Brandon, what happened to your footage from a few weeks ago? Let's see it.

Jeff, I know. Since I have been out, Cstack learned a hs fs 3 and a swith Tantrum, Gid has been spinning like a mofo and Brandon has been working on 7s and Moby •••••.

Damn my broken leg!

Blabelmooch, have you been riding at all this summer? What are some of the things your are working on. I saw your 4th of July vid with the sick wrapped ts bs 3. Very nice.

Thanks for all the support guys. Its been alot of fun riding lately. I just want to straighten out the front flip, I hope I can call it that soon.

Jason, how was the honeymoon? Let me know when you want to go out again to drive for me.

Brandon, we need to get out soon. Give me a call.

Jeff, quit your job so we can use that bad ass boat of yours.

Skylar,....never mind.

Blabel, what do you mean by moving your chest forward? Do I need to throw it harder? I'm thinking I need to stay tucked a little longer but for some reason I cant. Thanks for the tips.

come on gid.. say something nice about me. like you used to. when it was just me and you sitting on the dock. remember...

Jason, I haven't been riding too much at all so I haven't even been trying anything new. Then I got really sick and have been out for 3 weeks. This fall and winter will be great, can't wait to learn some new tricks.

Gid, I mean keeping your chest rotating forward at the last part of the flip. When I was learning them, I would land on my feet but quickly butt check it right after. Once I concentrated on keeping my chest moving forward longer it put me to my feet. Hope that made sense!

Jason- I need to get some more footage of me actually landing tricks before I figure out how to post.

Gid- Yeah I need to ride again soon. I only got to ride once with Ricky, and I think that I pulled an abdominal mucsle, or gave myself a hernia. Only have 2 graveyards to go, then 6 off. The BYT is in Bako Mon-wed next week. Might have to check it out.

Jeff- Where the heck have you been??

My god, did you buy out Castaic for the day? It actually looks like a decent lake. I never thought I'd see that. How early were those videos taken?

we met at 6a - probably got on the water by 6:20a. we left around 8:30a, it was still o.k. but a lot more boats were out.

Brandon, I have not ridden in a few weeks. I sprained my ankle when I was at the river. I should be back in action soon.
