Right now i can do basic spins up to 720 but only grab with 3s and going switch I can switch 1. I can slide most rails without spins on and off. I just learned backflips in park, but I have done a few fronflips in powder. However, I'm at a loss of what to work on. I haven't progressed in a while and I need tips on what to work on?

For the love of god son, work on your Style!! Please go in this direction... keep your tricks simple and just make them look epic. Do 5's, do 1's. Try shifties. Grab your shit, play around... etc.

See B&E for reference:

start spinning switch. so turn that switch 1 into a switch 3 then 5 ,7 and so on.

what i do though and kind of what bishop said is i don't really count a trick until i land it CLEAN or with a grab. do this and you will get pussy.

Maybe try some urban stuff that might be outta your comfort zone?Idk you said most rails.. Also, and idk you may be able to do this stuff, but try 270's out, and hitting rails switch.

get good at rails, do things unatty as well. learning 3s both ways and rail slides both ways will help you a lot as well.

Just hit everything in the park uniquely compared to the usual and add your own style to it.

In regard to the style recommendations, be conscious of where your arms are. Work on keeping them at your side instead of them flailing around.

I say this because this is something I need to work on as well to improve my style, and I feel that this is a big part of it.

go for a switch 3. Learned them the same day as switch 180, so you should be able to get it easily!
