icepick to nosepick to smith. pretty proud of that one, i was stoked. i got it so smooth straight up.

dialled in no foot can airs. well over coping, good extension.

got my 270s quater to bank a bit bigger and feels sweet.

got really close to a decent extension pendulum and tried super cans.

started learning disaster to canadian but they're prettyyy hard. hoping i'll get it in the next few days.

Practice on the ground heaps. rest the peddle against your knee to hold the front end off the ground. flick bars heaps to get the feel. also, remember to support the bike with your knees. AND AND AND learn seat grabs good. like t-boggan good. 99.999% of everyone i have taught to barry hasn't been able to seat grab properly. the ones that could however, have learned barrys in 5 goes. bring the bike up like a seat grab. flick bars and move your catching hand in. grab the bars really early. other hand on and land. you can try busdrivers too cause that sometimes helps. thats where u follow the bars around with your hand. think like garret ryenalds or however you spell it.

i learned

ally-oop whip air
double barspin a massive dirt jump

if your seats to low to pinch with knees..  moving your feet on cranks an pinching frame can help balance the bike..

abubaca cleveland point, nosepick cleveland point, and starting to get inverts. "rolling nosepicks" (deck nose manual then grab brakes and hold it in nosepick then drop in)

was trying nosepick to abubaca but i can't see my back tire past my foot so i can't line up the coping and it makes it really difficult.

i might try something different soon like 360 toboggans soon.
