Good video Shaun. Keep working on those variations. There's always a variation to learn that's within reach of every rider and for every trick. As long as you don't pigeonhole yourself you'll always progress and have fun riding.
How are the lardyards coming along? I'm sure that one day they will just click and seem easy.

Just watched the stuff I can't do video. Maybe I can help you more if you keep making videos like this.
That backwheel trick - Don't hold the fork leg. Hold one grip and one peg. It's much easier to stabilise when you distribute your weight like that.
The pick up from backwards to switch-handed steam is good. Keep going with that. If you learn that way then turbines will come more naturally. I think it looks better than halflashing in too. I'd like to see the pickup into switch-handed steam rolled nice and slow for a bit then scuffed into a mccircle with a variation thrown in at the end.
The foot switch and hand swtich on the backwards forkglide is the way to go too. Try and learn as many of those type of variations as possible. When you are switch-footed and switch-handed what about going cross-handed (both hands on the grips but arms crossed over) and pivoting out (pivoting round on the peg - thus uncrossing your arms - and slamming the other foot on the back peg). First with the backwheel on the ground and then with it off of the ground... Learn the cross-armed pivot thingy with both wheels on the ground first. It's trickier than you think it will be at first. If you can already do it one way learn in one way and out the other way.
Let's use that thread I created for more of this. Can you make another video at the weekend maybe?

Kit- I moved everything so I have 2 meters or so. I scuffed a backyard and lardyard a lil' bit.
Thanks Paul, I really need help on those tricks. I put it up but didn't get feedback till now. I was hoping to have some ready for dug....
I'll learn that pivot ride out I hope

Hand closest to the bike (inside hand) on the grip - Outside hand on the peg.
Learn it just stepping around first. I think it's quite easy. Way easier than it looks because it looks really impressive...
When you're confident with balance: Pull up in a switch inside peg wheelie - change hands on the grip and grab the front peg.
At the moment Sean - Karl is dead right. We're not getting any younger and no younguns are showing up to take our place!!!
