Good work TJ, glad somebody’s got the ball rolling on this one.  Your action looks pretty good.  More air time and you’re in with a shot i’d say.  Good advice K2!  Definately seperate the taking off from the trick.  If you give yourself some air time you’ll have enough to do the trick at your leisure with loads of time before and after for taking off and landing.

Looking forward to more vids!

While riding around I try to get a feel for the Flying Squrrel. Today off the edge of a cat track i’ve got a feel for the balance.
This vid isn’t really an entry as it’s not very clear and I only just touched my board with both hands - I thought you guys would like to see it anyway.

Just biding my time until I can capture it off a decent sized jump.

It was Tj that has inspired me to work on this trick so I’m giving him all the encouragement to “keep up” with me. Hehehe wink
