ha ha smartass, OK what could you guys do your first year RIDING ?

Sounds like you have a pretty good start since it is still early in the year. And you are on a 650. That is good.

I think it is fairly common for someone that rides a bunch to do all of those tricks the first year. You can also practice monkey jumps, and nose stabs. But make sure you hammer the throttle as you go in to blow that plum of water 40+ feet in the air... (my favorite trick) people love it when you disappear for 10 seconds. "where did he go? Can they run under water?"....LOL

youre on the right track. it also depends who you ride with. always ride with guys better than you if you can. it will help you come up quicker.

the first 6 words sum up your problem completely :stooges:

 

[Jet56]

[JonnyB]

it depends on the rider I know some people take hours before they can go from kneeing in the tray to stand and then some even never get to that point.

I am still trying to figure out how you broke your pole the first time out

 

[Flat Brapp]

i started when i was 14, (7 years ago) and i was riding a 550 back then. I sucked. Now im better. A nose stab is all i can do that really cool i still havent gotten inverted yet.
