My goal is to just become super comfortable when riding. Although I can land a bunch of tricks, I wanna work on style and making them hella clean, ya dig dudebears?

EJazzle, thanks, i either get it flipping behind me or not flipping enough, should i have my heel off more? they only hang off a bit like an inch

just want to stay healthy and have the opportunity to keep doing what i love....

i wouldn't complain if i landed a bs flip tomorrow Very Happy

, so close and i basically just started trying them today. I'm surprised how easy they are to rotate. Landings are killer though Evil or Very Mad

consistency, i want to land the tricks that i have all the time. that would make me very happy, when i bust on an ollie....i get VERY pissed. Evil or Very Mad

another goal would be to relax and just ride, not worrying about busting in the nasty pond, where i ride mostly.

1. I'd like to get back to my skill level/consistency before I took somewhat of a hiatus for 3 years. Basically consistent shuvs, 3 shuvs, and well-popped fs 180's (in the flats and on to and off of rails/inside out/liptricks).

2. Kickflips (coming close almost every time, i just need to keep my feet apart more when I catch the board)

3. Just be generally comfortable on the water. I reached a point where everything just clicked with me and I felt like I was in total control of the skate. It's a good feeling, I want that again.

4. Ride new stuff. Just finished my winch so I'd like to hit some different/creative lines. This kind of ties in to my #3.

i want to make millions through sponsers by doing one really insane trick and then buy mansions on both coasts, buy four 100k wakeboats and then basically stop riding and just chill and drink CRIS-STALL and start a rap career that is based on doing lines of coke and chick with huge a$$es............

Get my wrist and back healed up and healthy so I can just ride as much as possible again.

Tricks I want would be front and back bigs was getting so close before I started getting hurt.

and kickflips of course have only tried a handful and think after getting comfortable on the water again that I want to start trying them every set.

But mostly just be able to get back on the water injury free Cool
