-One footers over 1/4. I can complete them but I need to get it down smoother because its only looks good 1 in 5 tries.
-180 air. I can complete the 180 but I suck at rolling out of fakie, working it on a wedge/box.

I am having issues with doing fufanus(spelling???) on qp's. The wierd thing is that I can do them on Bank to sub box's, and on tables(when I put a kicker going up to it, of course). But for some reason I can't get em on qp's.
Also I am trying to be more consistant with my manual to 180's. I can maybe get 1 out of 5, if I only try them on flat ground. But I can't do them off ledges, or if i'm not going the exact right speed.

for the last two weeks, i've been practicing farside 50-50s. i usually get on and whip out too much and fall.
I've been grinding up a few small rails. I was trying x-up crooked grinds on this tiny flatbar at the banks.I fell about ten times yesterday trying to 180 on a rail, and 180 off it.
bmichaelx, look for a curved ledge to do the manual 180 on, the turning will help your spin.
