backflip, cause you dont really have to think about what you are about to do, just make sure that the only thing you think about, besides boobs, it that you throw it hard enough to not land on your head. and also, on your first attempt, just grow balls and throw it as hard as you can,so you can see how hard to throw it for the next time, but make sure it is into powder

Do what you feel comfortable with. If possible find a tramp or crash mat or something. I just learned them on tramps and mats and feel very comfortable with my lincoln, back, front. I almost dialed my front 180, its a pretty sick trick. Good Luck MAN!

but a front is not as scary (at least for me it isnt) where as a back you have to lean back blind, and a front you come out of it blind, but hopefully when you cant see your landing it doesnt matter cause you have allready done the trick. Did that make sense??

backs are way easier. i have tryed both. backs aren';t scary at all. it is wierd..u see oyur landing as soon as yopu take off. and don;t worry about landing on your head...it helps if u tweek it b/c u can spot your landin and bring your legs forward with out over rotating

backs are the way to go. they are easier to do, look sick, and feel awesome. just make sure you commit...

yea the only time you would be able to spot your landing is right in the beginning when your head is pretty much in your ass
