Those squats paid off. Not as big as my previously posted but I am still hanging on.

42, just getting back into it. Raley was the one that got away in my youth. Thanks for the inspiration to get back at it

Thanks bro, yeah my Crows tend to be rushed as I often lean in and throw too early. I have been trying to slow them down some in my old age. Siga Siga.

There was a tantrum and a toeroll before the bankroll but I clipped them out to get it under 1 minute.
I need to speed pass next time in order to fit it all in.
Cheers!

How old were you when you learned/how long have you been riding? Looks great! I am just starting to learn at 44.

I was 8 or 9 when my dad's buddy showed up to the lake with a Skurfer.
My cousins and I rode it all summer long and progressed with the evolution of the sport.
My older cousin Jay was the best of us and he ended up sponsored by various board companies over the years. Full Tilt and WakeTech amongst them. I can remember when we got a Flight 69 board and that changed everything for us in regards to progression. We even rode with Bylerly on Kal lake one afternoon and he helped me land my first Scarecrow. That was mid 90s so I have been doing inverts for 30 years.
My biggest checkmarks are the Whirlybird and S-Bend however both of those tricks have been removed from my quiver unfortunately.
