Before I start the thread, I searchbarred many different combos of possible thread names so don't bust my balls.

Okay, I'm curious to know what tricks people have learned this season and what tricks you guys are trying. It looks to me from what I've seen that everyone I know is progressing rapidly so I figured I would ask NS how everyone else is doing as well.

As for myself, this being my first full year in the park, I have just worked on getting more comfortable on jumps and rails/boxes so I haven't learned many physical tricks aside from some new rail stuff.

If you're just going to be a bitch and whine about how people have already made threads like this, fuck off, I haven't seen any for this season.

Oh and here is another armadillo video for your enjoyment.

i am soo stoked on my progression this year

I'm not going to apologize about it, i am going to claim this super hard :D

I went from last season where i did super back seat 360's and couldn't quite get switch of on all boxes and scared the death of flat bars to, this seas on which i have learned:

the most ill  slow shifty 180s with nose tap tail grabs on uber big jumps
stomped grabing 360s every run
5s
7s
unatural 3s
back to back 5's in the pipe and going bigger
dub switch up combos like blind to front
front 2s and blind 2s out of both flat bars and boxes
front 4s out of boxes and almost on flat bars [ yes :) ]
270s on
and then mix those together all the time like new favorite is lip on front 2 out on urban set up down box :)

backs, fronts, and lincolns all pretty well on lock. 5s with grabs, switch 5s. I have a lot of pretzels, like 3 different 4 outs, 360 sw ups. I have had a good season but I havent had much time on any real park jumps.
