i think that you should lean how to do sw 7s with a nice easy grab like a saftey and a7 or nice with a mute, japan or true nose cuz those are my favorites

find that one dude, and poison him/kick his ass.
I'd say go for the 7 if you can make it nice... more spins seems to be better if you want to place.
or do a 180 to the flat and claim like no other.

always grab and spin less, looks way better, dont worry about what the judges are looking for, look stylie and have fun

I agree, switch 7's are nice. it's the perfect mix between spinning, but not hucking. but a switch frontflip truckdriver would be sick if you can pull it off

sw cork 7 with a good grab would be sick, something like blunt or nose.
you should try to learn to nose butter off the lips though, that would be a sure win.

I have never done a double backflip, or a 900. But in my opinion, a double back would be easier.
Not that this should help you at all, but people are making the double backflip out to be more than it is.

I think switch tricks def impress, tweak a solid grab on a sw 7 or even a 5 looks sick.

Zero spin shifty is stylie as fuck, but you won't place...try to go switch 5, or cork 5, those are both super cool when thrown with a grab. Or nosebutter off the lip like pleinski said, that would be straight up Pollard style if you could pull it off and make it look good.

spin more, grab more. learn a 7. if you get that, try a 9; they're just as easy as 7s...

just make sure you use poles, so you dont get jipped like t-walls.
do a sw 180, crotch grab, 180 all in the same hit
judges like to see the sexual references

try to get as technical while still holding a good grab.... so, tech means doing something switch and unnatural, or just switch, or jut unnatural...and do variations of each spin if you have multiple runs...

^i don't know that judges will be able to tell if you are spinning unnatty... so stick to spinning in your comfort zone
don't be trying new tricks in a comp, practice before and make sure the tricks you are going to try you can do
but i agree with the sw 7, maybe cork it out, and throw in like a tailgrab or somthin
