How many peeps here have had to learn aerial tricks purely on your own? When reading the recommendations on how to pitch a barrel roll or seeing it done and hearing someone tell you how they did it...how many here couldn't get to that point by the advice/info? It was just something that one day happened and you weren't really expecting it to but now you're rollin n' flippin all over.

I'm the the only one in the country fwf, had to keep flopping until I got it right. Even learning rolls in the surf, I was doing almost 360 rotation on nose-stabs, so I tried same technique with my wait further back, took a few weeks and I had it. Got to go with what feels comfortable to you

Youtube is your friend, had to learn it all on my own through the interwebs.

I've taught myself a lot of what I know, this past weekend I was out in some good waves for around here. I took a big wave not thinking about doing anything, just a straight jump which ended in a side flop lol. But it had me wondering who has been forced to figure it out rather than use the experience of others. I'm using barrel rolls only as an example because they seem to be the harder one to manage. No handed jumps are tricky too, I've lost hand contact with my ski several times trying that one in the learning phase
