hi, so i was just wondering if i should say "advanced" or "expert" for my skill level when i sign up for windells. I can do k-feds and a couple pretzels on an easy rail.  Im not as good at jumping, i can do switch and regular 5's with grabs, and i can switch and regular 7 with no grab or a shitty boot grab. i can also backflip, and i was going to try cork 7s (ive got them on trampolines) but i never got a chance to, so i have no idea if i can get it or not. i dont want to sound egotistical and say expert, then get in a group with future pros. so what do you guys think?

Definition of An Expert for Windells - PRO, PRO PRO........you get paid to ride, you have sponsors, ect, et ect.

Sign up as an advanced rider if you are not the above.

it doesn't really matter that much what you put, you can change when you get grouped together after the first day of riding if you feel your too good or not good enough for your group.

when i went there i think i listed myself as expert, and i was in a group that contained both a kid learning to hit jumps and slide boxes for the first time, and a kid who was throwing cork 9's and 450 on, they really just kinda mix and match the groups

to be honest what u put for that really doesn't madder very much, it really depends on what you put in the i want to learn section, becuase they will put u in groups with people who have your same goals
