Just a thought but the posts have been drying up a bit recently and if your like me, then you need this forum as your counselling to make it through the working day!!

I know we should be riding not posting but most of us also need to earn a living.

So having looked at the US forums one of the most posted forums is the trick discussions. People talking about what they are doing, or not doing, people offering advice, and then everyone generally whooping like a yank when somebody finally posts that they landed it, thanks everyone for their help, etc etc

Is it worth having such a forum on here?

Very rarely do people ever post about tricks apart from getting up in the rookie zone

Thoughts?

Not sure it would be of much use on here with our limited postings. People can ask about tricks in any of the currently open forums.

The most popular sections on wakeworld/wakeboarder etc are the boat forums but we are just not a nation of boat owners.

I know you can do that on any open forum, but being a UK forum thought people would be interested in hearing what other people are doing, how they are getting on, etc

Also to post if people see a pro land a 900 or a whirly 5 or something

As for having more to write about, i can bore the arse or anyone for hours talking about tricks I can't do and the mechanics of them, but then maybe that just me.

All I need is someone to tell me how to get over the current mental block I have about getting air on the cable... I was attempting to throw raleys a little while ago, getting small amounts of air before slapping the water, and now I seem to have lost the plot, and can't figure when to or how to throw it!!! It's bugging me.

Behind the boat I'm not even trying for inverts, just practicing grabs, and will hopefully nail a 360 this season. I just want to be stylie rather than upside down 8) (I'm old)

I'd be curious to know what other people on the forum are doing though...
