Switchstance Backside Roll
Description: Fakie-to-fakie back roll
Category: Expert
Point Value: 1050
Tip on performing this trick: Bret sent us an email saying: "This trick is best learned with the Backside Back Roll already under your belt - then it is just a matter of applying those same techniques to your Switchstance Back Roll. The main points I found useful to remember when trying the move for the first time were: 1. Maintain a progressive edge through the wake. 2. After you launch, sort of "zing" the board up and behind you. 3. Keep your eyes focused on your board while you are upside down. 4. Hold on with two hands to help complete the rotation. Good Luck!"

Point Value: 1075
Tip on performing this trick: Brian Keith writes in and tells us: "The tension on your line is the key to pulling off this trick... as well as some other helpful hints: 1. Edge really hard and get a lot of tension on your line. 2. While you edge gradually extend your legs. 3. When your line has a lot of tension, push of the water. 4. Do like you would do a normal backside roll. 5. Have fun!!"

Backside Half Cab Roll
Description: Heelside backroll-fakie approach/front landing
Category: Expert
Point Value: 1150
Tip on performing this trick: James Eyster writes in and tell us:- Progressively edge into the wake heelside fakie with most of the pressure on your back foot.
- As you hit the top of the wake, gently throw your head behind you to start rotating into your flip, still leaning back.
- While you rotate through the roll, at the very end of your flip pull the handle in with your left hand (right hand for goofy foot).
- When you pull the handle in towrds your body, lean somewhat forward but not too far to pull yourself back around for the toeside approach.
- The hardest part is learning how to lean forward enough and then center yourself back again at the end of your roll.
- It's a hard trick, so expect a few falls. It also really helps to practice switch rolls and half cabs into the flats. When doing your halfcabs, practice leaning a bit forward when you pull in the handle, and then centering your weight back again when you land to help your balance and stability as you spot your landing.

Scarecrow Mobius
Description: Toeside front roll-to-revert Mobius
Category: Expert
Point Value: 1550
Tip on performing this trick: My name is Steve Shiflett and here is the way to throw a Crow Mobe: - Setup is critical. Start about 5-7 feet outside the wake (regardless of what you've seen Shapiro do).
- Cut progressively towards wake leaning heavily on front foot.
- As you leave the wake, throw a scarecrow.
- When you hit 180 keep looking for the boat over your left shoulder (right for you goofies).
- Pass the handle as late as possible.
- Try to keep both hands on the handle as long as you can when starting the trick.

S-bend
Description: Backside air raley w/360 body rotation while extended
Category: Expert
Point Value: 1600
Tip on performing this trick: Scott Cahill sent us some email with these tips for the S-Bend: - 1. Start out as far as you can outside the wake cause you are going to be hauling as you leave the wake
- 2. Cut like you are doing a Raley and as you leave the wake put your head between your arms and rotate inward
- 3. As you are rotating, your board should be above your head
- 4. As you finish your 360 overhead rotation, look to spot your landing
- 5. Many can do this but only a few can do it right - if done right it should look like a Frontside Wirlybird
