Laurie, can this be stickied?

I thought it would be good to have a beginner trick thread, especially dedicated to hooked-in tricks (chicken loop attached to your harness).

My favourites so far are ...

* back roll and
* load n pop, obviously mainly for jumps, but I've been doing that also for simple toe side riding, which makes it easier than just sliding to toe side and being dragged by waves or chop.
* The Jesus: a high boost jump where you hang and pose like Jesus on the cross

* add yours here!

I know that move!

Is a darkslide too advanced?

Definitely one of the best looking hooked-in tricks. Very keen to give them a go this season

why is everybody so scared of unhooking?

Its cooled old school or airstyle.

Nothing wrong with that!

They are easy. Just dedicated a full sesh to learning it. Altho I haven done 1 since learning freestyle!

Ok so freestyle is not my thing. It never will be. I much prefer full pace smashing wave lips and boosting as fast and long as possible touching down as soft as possible.

That said a boned board grab is simple and looks stylish. I am prone to the occasional upside down. Is that a deadman?

Can't beat a loop ether!!
