What is your consideration of 'beginner' ?
Quote from: DutchFlatlander on January 30, 2011, 07:22:50 PMWhat is your consideration of 'beginner' ?Quick question for you. What tricks are you able to complete right now? What are you currently working on?I have been putting together trick of the month since 2004. I have tried many different things over the years. If the tricks are too easy IE(Endo's, Forkglides) there is not much participation. There were a few months that I tried link of the month. Very little participation again. When the tricks are right in the middle. (IE Timemachine, Hang 5, Whiplash) there is a lot of participation. I try to make if fun for everyone. I have seen some riders do some of these tricks in there first year of riding. From the list as far as just starting out first month ever of riding. No I would not suggest any of these tricks for that level of riding. But if you have had a few month into riding Turbine Peg Wheelie- Next month hosted by Team McDuff. Its a great starting trick. I know I CAN'T DO IT..hahah I am going to have fun trying to learn it though. Also Whiplash is pretty basic by today's standards too. I have seen that in beginners contest many times. Single whip that is. List is up now but I can take suggestions for next year if you would like to make any. I always take suggestion, ask MaykoLee!!Keep on Riding!

I just hate it that there's so many factors that that cause that I progress sooo slow (bumpy spot, i'm only 1m50, don't have much time..).
