Catchy title eh? Yeah I didnt know what to title it but this is my problem. On the diving board I used to be able to pull some sweet shit like rodeo 5s and 7s, corked 5s-9s and misties. The problem is all these tricks are blending together. I got down the corked 5 at the skatepark but when I went to throw the rodeo (or whatever I dont know what its called) my body instinctively threw a corked 5. Its also really tough to throw misties too now, they look a lot like corked 5s again. How can I prevent this? I am pretty comfortable with forward rotating tricks (can you tell?) so I plan to polish those up along with stylying out the basics before I move on to totally different tricks.
Super trick?

I have that tendency too, when your body gets dialed into a trick you always throw it, even when you try something else. I would recommend just styling out what you throw, so that it looks cool, even if you do it all the time. Then when you throw other stuff, try to really define it so that its a lot different from the corked 5, so that you will feel that you're doing a different trick. Like on a rodeo, think more of a backflip, and on misties, think more of fronts. Hope that helps.

I cork myself forward tho, maybe thats not a cork but I am definitely sideways if not a little more, so close to a misty. I think when I get backflips dialed Im gonna try some lincoln variations and some other easy shit, but for now thats all talk and no game, thats just what I hope to accomplish this year, if I had some snow around here maybe I could go try somehting.

I had that same problem, i was learning some tricks on the tramp, well my misty sevens started turning into lincoln sevens, it was probably the way that i throw my lincolns, but yeah it sucked cause at first i could stomp the mistys no problem then i started doing licolns and then after that i would try doing a misty and i would do a lincoln, it was crazy, but anyway i'm babbling now.
If your monkey was misbehaving, would you spank it?

What I find is that everyone that learns barani's before misty's on the tramp throws those instead of misty's. A lot of kids I know get pissed off by this, because when ur stuck on a trick its hard to learn new stuff.
Should midgets be paid under the table??
My 'fairy godmother' asked me when I was 3 whether I wanted a long penis or a long memory, I forget my answer!
