    This one is for the big guy, talltigeguy

    ok, so tall and some others have been asking me about boards and 360s. 360s are tough, and especially tough on surf style boards. But there is a type of 360 called the stall 360, that is both fun and more designed for surfstyle. It looks really cool too. So RJ has been practicing his ollie air and his stall 360s on his new walker board. He is now really starting to progress again, after getting used to new board, and now he is starting to land his stall 360s after a lot of work. So I made a video, with every trick attempt from one short practice session. Just so you can see how we practice over and over and over, and so tall could see the stall 360, which is at the end of the video.

    We will be doing trick how to videos for air and the stall 360 soon. I am trying to get Jeff and James Walker on my boat for those. We are just working out schedules.

    Thanks, Ragboy! That was a terrific video.

    I know that my current surfer would never do that last 180 in the trough of the wave. The fins just seem way to grippy. Maybe if I just too, them off I would be better off.

    I agree completely with what you said about working at it. In every athletic endeavor I have ever seen, there are practice sessions and drills that need to be done in order to progress...why would wakesurfing or boarding be any different.
    Be excellent to one another.

          RB, as always great vid. Nice to see the hard work side.

          Your music is always good, and perhaps more impressively, always family friendly. I do not have too many problems putting together a kicking playlist but it is usually not family friendly tunes.

          If you are open to suggestions (and you always seem to be ), a great little feature in Wake9 might be periodic playlists. Perhaps enough for a single session and family fun. Might generate a few more hits especially if you just put out teasers on the forums ("new playlist!") rather than posting the playlist directly. I know I would hit the link -- always looking for new tunes to add.

            Yes, that is danger. And yes, I have actually thought about that, music is HUGE to us. RJ has actually talked about doing that with me. Will have to put something together.

                Terrific idea on the music list. I love the music Ragboy puts on his videos.
                Be excellent to one another.

                  OK, as requested. I still have my list to make which I should have time to do tonight. But RJ and Whitney are the ones that always help me make the boat lists. The funny thing is, I am the one that finds and buys the music. RJ is always jealous that I find new cool bands before anyone else seems to, even his friends. He says he is going to beat me at it someday.

                  The Kills
                  Rock Kills Kid
                  Telephone
                  Infected Mushroom
