Hi, I barrel raced for years and won alot.  The best thing I can say is to try to stay as close to the horse as you can for air streaming.  Good balance is a must.  I tied a barrel with a cable through it between two trees.  Then had someone shake it slowly at first, then faster as I got better.  It's a trick I learned from watching my brothers pratice bull riding.  It really does work.  Another thing is when you are practicing, at first anyway, make sure the horse you are riding already knows the barrels.  A green horse will fight and throw you all over the place.  Believe me I know!!!!!  When you sinch your saddle on, walk your horse, then sinch again.  3 times.  That should make sure your saddle is on tight enough.  Alot of horses will blow themselves up, so the saddle won't be very tight. When you walk them, they can't bloat themselves out.  Last but not least, even if you fall, KEEP GETTING BACK ON!!!! No matter how much it hurts.  Hope you have lots of fun, I did.

ok when your doing one make sure your feet are in the right place,put your hand(fingertips) on the ground.your feet should be in the middle and on the tale.push down on the tail while jumping your fingertips will come off the ground.while in the air the firt on the tail slides back gives the board a little nudge so it flips.then quickly slide your foot back on the tale but right on the end.make sure both feet are on.then your board will drop down and you keep your balanece.that is a tip and you can think about something like if i land these ill get 1 million dollars or somethin on the lind.i hope this helps.oh yea yuo can practice in a pool,trampiline,or bed.thats what i did when i first learn how to do one now i can do them naturally.have a nice day

A barrel kit with different barrels would be the best due to the fact that paintballs are different sizes and to get a better accuracy you need the barrel that you can blow a paintball through easily..\n\nThe Silencer\nwww.texasghostwalkers.com

The first thing to do is either start racing carts and/or attend a racing school. then work your way up through all the smaller racing leagues until you are good enough to make a name for yourself.

um boneless? i dont really do them much but i can think of a few things you could do. if you wanna finger flip grab the board at the nose when you pop your bonelesss or what ever. make sure you grab it with your 4 fingers on the grip and the thumb on the underside. feels weird but pretty easy to make flip. so just flip it and jump on. no complys are pretty cool but kinda hard. you dont actually grab the board but you can take a foot off to pop your board. there are many ways to do like old school kickflips. one that i find pretty easy is with your hand. ok your ridin your board and you put your front foot on the ground and pop your board w/ your back foot. when the board pops up smack the side with your hand and it should flip. cavemans? um go caveman a rail. thats fun kinda scary but yea. um you can like caveman fingerflip manual. i can do them but my friend can. just like run up to the manual pad and do a fingerflip on to it but you gotta land in a manual and thats where i always fall. they are kinda cool. ha good luck doin anything mullen can. that dudes nuts. 720 double flips. like 2 360 flips in one. crazyness. double flip rewinds. you can prolly learn how to do some casper flips and stuff but i think  that stuffs gay. unless you do it moving. like a casper slide on a box. that would be cool. i dont kno anyone who can do those besides mullen. maybe daewon song.

First off, I highly reccomomend lessons, you start teaching yourself, youor going to pick up bad habits...\n\nIn the meanwhile, to give you a general idea...  Keep your thumb at about 10-11 oclock (for righties), I usually stand with my right foot on middle dot (the 2nd set closer to lanes), and aim at the 3rd dot(first set on lanes)...  I don't use the arrows anymore, I used to stand at the right and use 2nd arrow.... Its all about preference and finding what works for you.. The dots I found out are closer to you, therefore giving you an easier target and less room for error...  And by standing in the midddle more I learned to maximize the hook...\n\nAgain take lessons and experiment what works for you.... Have fun...

Once you get really good, pay a professional videographer to make a tape of your stunts.  Then make about 50 copies and send them out to all the major players.  I've been to Tony Hawk's Boom Boom Huck Jam.  Awesome.  Good Luck.

heres all you need to know to play. \n\nfirst get a tippmann 98 custom.  i say that because you can upgrade the gun to fit your style of play when you firgure it out. also id is very low mantinence and very accurate for just being a stock gun.  you can also take it to tourneys and other stuff like that.\n\nas far as clothing all you need is a light long sleeve shirt and some jeans to start out with .  if you wnat to buy the jerseys you can.\n\nfor starters stay in the back and watch the opposing team.  as you get better you can start to be more aggressive.\nthats how i learned to play and i got real good real quick.  thats really all you need to know. have a good time\n\np.s. it will sting but only for a few seconds

Racing head, racing cam and crank, racing connecting rod and piston, new racing valves and springs, get the engine ported and have the engine blueprinted, racing carb, and convert it to run on methanol, remove the governor and for short bursts of power, a mapp gas injector, or some nos, and of course a billet flywheel. OR just buy a fully built briggs racing engine....

To get better you need to practice by your self everyday . You need to hit balls at least 2 to 3 hours every day. Do the L shape practice on the corners. Do the circle practice in the center of the table with out the cue ball leaving the circle.To give you a standard of what your up against. I played this guy nine ball. He ran 10 racks of nine ball on me. When I finally got a shot it was a  hard bank shot and missed then he ran 20 more racks of nine ball on me. These guy are out there. And hes not the best . Hope that helps

Stance\nIf you do not practice the proper stance you will never become a really good player\n\nBridge\nLearn the proper good bridge (fingers), how to shoot when a ball is near a rail, how to jack up over object balls\n\nStoke\nSame story as stance..without a good stoke there is only so far you can go!\n\nCutting\nLearn how to cut balls in down near the corner pockets pockets..depending on the game 50% or more will be these shots\nPractice cutting into side pockets\nLearn how to run a frozen ball down a rail..ball and rail at same time (if you have good control use running English)\nPractice straight shots down the table (long straight shots are the most difficult shots)\n\nEnglish\nYou most learn draw...No good player uses top spin for long or fast shots (you loose allot of control) draw is used 10 times more than top spin. Always draw a little if your shooting hard.\n\nPractice trowing balls with right and left English, (you must lean how to throw balls or you will never be able to master position)\nlow right, center right, low left, center left (top spin is really only used on very special shots or if you want to follow with the cue.\n\nLearn how to stop the cue ball in it tracks-.straight shot center ball (requires a bit of a stab stroke)\n\nUse must learn how to draw the cue ball......I can draw the cue sometimes 3 rails...Yes I shoot great pool and still can draw a crowd if in a place where the people are into pool..I have a 6 rail shot has to be a good level fast table (I cut their eyes out, I bank like a crazy fool, I can put the cue ball on a dollar anywhere on the table)\n\nListen the real trick is to not have to think about the shot when you are shooting it....it has to become intuitive...(sure think about it before you shoot) and that cue has to become an extension of your body!\nGood luck!\n\nAnother tip the best players in the world are from The Philippines and guess what they all grew up playing (15 ball rotation) it'll teach you ever thing, position, kicking, bank, and on and on....very few people play it today. It's a tough game.  But become good at this game and you can play any game with mastery.\n\nAny questions e-mail me.....get a book and some videos...and always play with people that are better than you and watch them! (just don't play for money)

here is an oldie but a goodie, get an old tire hang from a tree. paint a small circle on it. hit the circle till you remove the paint.  repaint the circle and do it again. work on blocking the ball, have someone thow balls in the dirt to your left and right just outside the plate. not too far away from you keep your head down watch the ball hit your body or glove.  when you work on throwing down to second do not take three steps to the base. stand up and throw. one step. start slowly catch the ball. stand and throw. then keep going faster.  watch the pros on how they frame the ball. frame it where you catch it.  DO NOT MOVE YOUR GLOVE DURING THE FRAMING!!!!  I am also an umpire and we hate that
