jonny,
If you are grabing and spinning (360s?) frontside and backside.... start adding some style, tweak your grabs... land blind... and start riding backwards so you can do half cabs! When you've nailed that, think about a backroll, tantrum or scarecrow :wink:

hey jonny
look on the wakeboard uk home page for a list of lakes. there is a new cable over at Grendon lake which might be a bit closer than sheffield!
John Earnshaw is one of the guys who runs the live 2 ride slider tour and he rides there so i know it exists! also there is a place called west midlands watersports in tamworth near birmingham but i dont know if there is still a wakeboard boat there it might just be a bunch of people skiing but u might be in luck and find a few people still riding boards!
good luck
