Tip#9 learn the words of my song "50 ways to Stuff an Alpha" then you will know all the things NOT to do.
I need to find someone to sing the song first...
Any musicians in Perth interested?

I've got enough footage of how to not do it for several verses if you want a video for it.
I could sing it on helmet cam while trying. I had some success recently and think singing might have played a part.

Thank you again to all jibe masters and students who commented here. I've been pouring over it and applying the tips.
Hard to remember and be conscious of it out there and in the moment but it's there floating in my head.

The few things that are solid in my mind which i know are helping because i can see it reviewing footage are;
Early rig flip. I very rarely flip early enough. But when i do, it's a whole different world.
Indeed, when i was super powered up and flying over chop into warp speed entry sure that catastrophe would ensue, those turned into good easy turns. As advised above, 'let the board go, ignore chop, it will ride through'.

This is an extremely long vid for me just saying f**rk alot. But for me it is short as round up of 1000 and 1000 more jibe attempts coming to this.
