Advanced Tricks

Now if you really want to be challenged you could try doing double flips, combinations, and lots of harder spins. To do double flips of any kind you should be able to do them on a trampoline before you even attempt them on a snowboard. After you can do them on a trampoline you should be able to do it on a snowboard. To do a 720 you should warm up a little by landing some 360's and 540's. Once you are ready you approach the top with more speed than you would use for a 540 and prepare to take off. Then you turn backwards hard with your shoulders and hips as soon as you feel the board leaving the lip. Do a 360 spin and start another twist to do another 360 spin. Complete the second spin and find your landing spot on the ground as close to the lip as possible. The more spins you do the more air you will have to get and the faster you will need to spin. An example of a combination of a flip is a McTwist which is doing a front flip 540 with a mute grab. Before you do it you should warm up by doing 540's and doing front flips with doing a mute grab. To do a McTwist you drop into the half pipe then crouch down low on your board at the bottom of the half pipe and pick the spot you launch off of on the approaching lip. Do not take your eyes off the spot you will use. Extend your legs slowly so you gain momentum then lower your head and front shoulder as soon as your front foot clears the lip. Jump off and do a front flip and crouch with a mute grab. Right after starting the front flip start to do the 540. Look for your landing and stick the landing. There are harder tricks but these tricks take lots of skill and practice.

Reflection

My blogging experience has been pretty good. This was my first time blogging and it wasn't that bad because seeing that I got to choose the topic which made my experience better because it made it seem not as boring. Some things that were hard in this project were thinking of topics to talk about. It was hard to think of topics that I could go into enough detail about because each blog was different lengths and some things are harder to tell about then others. I think it is a good way to learn about different things and it is also a good thing to do in your spare time as long as it is not about anything bad. I think that blogging can be fun if you find a topic that's interesting and if you do it with friends so you can make it good and add a bunch of cool things. I tried making my blog interesting by adding cool videos and putting in detail about how to do tricks. Also I tried putting in a lot of things beginners and people wanting to snowboard would want to know. I think that you can gain a lot personally and academically from blogging. You could learn that if you do it about some one else that it could hurt them and they could do the same thing back to you. Also that it could make you feel better because you could get comments saying that your blog was really cool and stuff from a bunch of people that you thought didn't like you. Some things you could gain academically from this experience is putting more detail into things because in blogs you try to put a lot of detail and interesting things in them so people will follow them and more and more people will read them. Also you could learn to make your writing not so boring because people won't want to read something that's boring unless they're forced to. Another thing you could gain personally form this experience is not to take to much care for what people have to say. For example if someone commented on your blog and it was mean you could just ignore it because if you get other comments saying its great then you just know that the person doesn't like you. Also you could learn to consider what people have to say about your writing and look into it and really look over and make changes to it. I tried to get people to read my blog by putting videos of people doing tricks, putting detail and important info, and cool pictures into my blogs. I hope some people read my blog and I hope I can get some comments about how my first blog went. I also hope people comment and give me any advice they have for snowboarding. Thank you for reading my blogs and I hope you liked them this has been a fun experience for me and I might consider blogging about different topics.
