Here is an idea: Throw away your new snowlerblades, and go buy some skis. Then ask again for tricks to try.

learn to spin 360's they are the basis for all tricks to come, and learn a variety of grabs, mute, tail, japan etc. then integrate the two together. then start to add 180 degree to your spin(540) then another (720) or subract 180 (180)
etc.

if you don't want to get flamed... you better not talk about skiboards.

skiboards are not hte answer, you may think skiing is harder but in the end when all of the skiboards in this world have been burnt or broken and sent to hell, skis will still be on the mountain...

save yourself, dont get skiblades please. Get skis, tricks look so much better and you can actually have style after you have jumped for a while. Since you have skid all your life you have a good background, just dont snowlerblade, youll thank me after you realize it!

180's are easy. Then 360's. Then keep going up. Try throwing in grabs and stuff too. Then after about a year get skis because its way easier to go big on skis.
