Could someone give me some tips on the progression for new tricks. I can do Raileys and Back rolls. Ironically, I landed the first try at an unhooked front roll, but I crashed all the other times as well as any handle pass and other tricks that I tried. I feel stuck on my progression right now.

S-bend, railey to blind, inverted back roll to toeside and a krypt are the next moves you should aim for.
The s bend is trickeyer than you think. Very different to a front roll
Big tip for plateau is go to a cable park. Doing railey is a bit harder but it will improve your pop hugely as well as your whole unhooking technique as it forces you to ride without the harnesses.
You can also practice flat spins of the kicker. Trust me it all helps

Actually, I initiate the rotation for the S-bend better than the front roll because of the rotation speed coming from the initial railey. My problem is that I cannot complete the rotation and always stop at halfway and crash facing up.

Keep looking over your back shoulder until you can spot your landing.

First learn the correct trick names......it's R-A-L-E-Y as in Chet Raley the guy who invented the trick.

Try to also twist from the shoulders and the hips to get that board round in time.

Still moving to Austin, TX or did the thread kill that idea?

for s-bends try bending you front knee alot to initiate the rotation. and dont do krypts. because they look like scheit
