What I saw you do in the skating video is an Ollie ( no hand air ) landing Regular. What I thought you said, in your description of your 2cm. air on the wave, was a Indie grab with your right hand, landing Fakie ( going backwards ) or air reverse. Sorry, I misinterpreted.

180 usually refers to spin rotation. If you meant, you went up and came back down in a form of a U-turn, then I guess you did face in two directions, but that's not considered a 180.

Ok that is allright. Then it was an indie u turn.
In skate the terms are
Frontside 180
Backside
Fakie
Nollie
Switch
Normal air is just air with or without ollie.

I just read through the entire post and the anticipation of watching the video was huge! But it's not there any more :-(

I believe what you say - there's no reason to lie, like you say. It's just a matter of perspective whether you describe it as an air, or being flung up by the wave and landing on your ass :-P It's such a shame if people dampen your enthusiasm - don't let that happen. Surfing should be about having fun. I read that the best surfer is the one having the most fun, and when I hit the waves I'm the best surfer ever! XD

Holy crap! Here I've been calling my airs "wipeouts" the whole time. Duh! From now on it's going to be, "Dude, I made the drop easy; I just missed pulling off my aerial. What did you think of my air, though? Looked pretty awesome, didn't it?"

Posting on this forum is just like learning how to surf, you'll need to give it a lot of effort, and keep at it, to get thru the rumbling whitewash...

So you're leaving this forum because you feel people are being mean to you ? You're sick of all the Haters, Trolls and NaySayers ? Listen to this ............ THIS FORUM IS the most supportive, least flaming and beginner friendly surfing forum on the internet...... PERIOD. Try post the same thing on another forum, You would have left on the first hour.

There are really good people here. And they call it as they see it. It might be "tough love", like when you discipline your child, not because you want to see them hurt or sad, but because you want them to do the right thing and grow to be better.

You made some very Big Claims and Outrageous Statements. What did you expect if someone ask you to prove it on video ? It's normal, not mean. Making excuses for lying or changing Absolutes to Hypotheticals, just made it hard to believe your words. It almost started to sound like one of our presidential candidates.

If you are hurt, I apologize we weren't able to convey our sincere effort to help you become that surfer you wanted to be. Farewell DreamSurf .............. keep dreaming.
