nice work!

i got:
360s over absolutely everything except spines (need help on those)
450s bank to bank (crazy fun)
and a few lip trick combos too.

started learning 180 whips, cannonballs, and superman seatgrabs.

heading to melboune in about 10 weeks to ride rampfest, which has me soooo pumped. i should learn a shitload out of that, just like cairns haha.

im finally catching whip flyouts to pedal after years of trying. got 180 barspin hops pretty consistant now and almost getting half cab bars out of that. I can only throw half cab barspins out of 180 barspins ????

over tooth grinds at mach 1. sooo scary sometimes. also got tuck no hander to tap, icepick to smith
tried: tuck airs, 180 whips, and still can't get bar spins.
and i snapped an axle for the first time. bring back 14mm!

oh and i got another bike, the frame, bars and pegs are all my design on this one, i had the pegs CNCed ages ago and the frame and bars i had built by solid bikes, i just used their stock headtube and bb obviously, but the frame is soooo sweet. so now have like 5 bikes in total, 2 freestyle, 1 race/cruiser, and 2 mid-schoolers.

okies, best tip i can give to your for 3 tucks. get into the spin then completely forget about it. focus completely on the front wheel and lock it in like a normal tuck no hander. i guarentee you will find it easier
