searched for a thread but didn't see one. i'm sure it's a repost so nazi's need not apply. just wondering how long you have been wakeskating and what tricks you can pull of consistently?

i started last summer, but didnt get serious untill about november. then i injured my knee in January.. so taht took a 2 month chunk outa my wakeskating till spring break. I can do most of the basic tricks, FS and BS shuv, FS and BS 180, front lip, front board, board slide, working on back lip.. its a bitach.. i can do a bunch of lip tricks, shuv on shuv off tricks.... 270 bs shuv off, 90 front shuv off, front board shuv off. Also 360 shuvs, ive landed one bs big spin... but ive been pretty close for a WHILE now.. i enjoying doing stuff inside out lately ive found it to be so fun getting some air. I can do bs shuvs inside out, 180's with grabs, and just normal grabs, indy, stalefish, roast beef (my fav) and tails. I can do a few switch tricks ive landed a few fs shuvs, few bs shuvs, front shuv out a switch lip. i can ollie a little, and ive landed a fs big spin, but ive been close to them for a while.. just not getting them constant. I also enjoy pina coladas and long walks on the beach at sun down... Razz

5 times, or about 1 month or less. lipslide, tried a shuvit, board did a 360 instead, came close to landin it, 8 inch ollie, surface spin 180, umm i sorta rode with my back to the boat and one end deeper in the water and one end out, like what george daniels did in his part in fitb when hes roundin the corner. i suggest ridin without fins!!!helped me alot.

i started in april of last year... rode half april, may, june, july, half agust. one week in october. and 6 days besides that. so basically 5 and a half months. but some say it would be a year and a half cuz people count from when you started untill now, which is bullsh*t. bigspin, backside bigspin, 3 shuv, lot o lip stuff, some rails. wake to wake grabs and 180s both ways.
