My New Trick...?

Before this ski season started, me and my friend made a deal. It was that when he tried an underflip, then i had to try somethin off axis or flipped or somethin as well. WELL, last weekend on sunday he did one but i wasn't there. SO now i gotta do somethin. I need help choosing the trick though. I can do anything on a trampoline or diving board, and have done a couple backflips on skiboards just for fun. What should i do? Skiing wise, i can do up to 7 grabs pretty good and clean. So what should i throw? I'm really leaning towards a lincoln loop because they wouldn't hurt as much to under rotate as a backflip does...maybe a cork 7? misty? I really gotta do this and i want to as well cuz i wanna progress obviously and that's the reason i made the deal. to force me to progress... but i really dont wanna get hurt too bad cuz i'm goin on a ski vacation for a week the week AFTER this weekend so i really wanna be healthy for that cuz i've been lookin forward to it for a long long time. So any help...i'd appreciate. Thanks.

i dont think anyone could rightfully chose a trick for a stranger. thats absolutely ludicris. Nor do i think someone telling you what to pull would help you any extra. If you cant do a flip, dont do one (especially just cuz shanta did a shitty underflip). Either dont be a pussy and try something, or just tell shanta to fuck off. I just dont think polling people on what the easiest trick is would help. only you know what you can do.

i definitely think asking for input from a more experienced source is perfectly acceptable. you dont give the advice 'dont be a pussy' and then leave one to their own devices. whoever said not to ask for advice on a first invert should be tutored by a retard.

if you can do a backflip on your skiboards, why dont you just show it to your friend on them?

if you can throw 7 grabs easily, why not just a corked 3?

i just meant only he knows what hes comfortable with. i didnt mean dont be a pussy in a derogatory way, just if your forced to do this (whick is bizarre) just go for it.

Anyway, misty 5.

Misty 540 is my best trick and it isn't very hard. if you're comfortable landing switch it makes it a lot easier. all you have to do is pretty much do a front flip 45 degrees to the side of you because it will bring you right around to landing switch. Even if you don't have a diving board at your local pool, stand on the edge and try them. I dialed in a misty 900 off the edge of a pool without diving board. have fun. I also suggest wearing some padding on your ass.

dont try cork 3... cork 5 would be easier to rotate. but backflip for sure dude... just find a med-sized jump with plenty of lip, lotta pow landing and huck it hard... read trick tips in 'resources', should explain easy enough.




i fall a lot, and im cool

i DID show my friend the backflips but that's skiboards and that was off a lil tiny kicker cuz the power was out that day so we wre hittin a 2 ft jump and hucking our balls off. Anyway, i'm just afraid of the backflip cuz if i stall out and like, get hurt and miss my week vacation of 8 days of straight skiing staying in a 4 floor house next to the mtn w/ a hot tub n sauna n pool n shit, i'll be sooo pissed and will die. I need to do somethin where if i under rotate or mess up on, i won't break my neck or somethin. Thanks for the suggestions. I don't get much pow here in the ice coast...so i gotta be careful. But keep it up, any input is awesome. thanks.

sounds like the trick you need to learn is to focus on landing it, not on what could go wrong. Learned that doing drops on my bike. Once i got my mind going on going over the bars, id never do the drop.

well first i gotta think of all the possibilities of what happens on certain tricks if they don't come out right. THEN when i'm at the mountain i don't think about those. But that's AFTER i've chosen the trick. Right now i gotta focus on choosin it, then i'll focus on landing it. For some reason tho i'm leaning towards lincoln loop still...?? Under rotating it doesnt seem bad at all really. I really don't feel like spinning a lot either. i dunno tho. maybe i'll just have to see how i feel.

ok this might sound stupid, but bear with me if you did a 360 japan, and tried it over and over again, tweaking it out more and more each time, would it start to be VERY similar to a flatspin 3? i was thinking cause if you tweaked a japn WAY out to the sid it could look like a flatspin

i would start with a d-spin. i mean its the easiest trick in the book. just keep your head to your shoulder and you will be just fine. no, but seriously try what ever feels natural, throw your body in some direction, ask your friends what that looked like most, and then try to elaborate on it. sure you fall a couple times, but you get the trick.

right now i'm leanin towards cork 7 or lincoln loop still. Mainly cuz a cork 7 can take you many places...such as d-spins n rodeos. Also, for lincolns, the side motion can lead to rodeos maybe and lincoln 180s which look ill if they are done correctly. Plus it is almost like a flat spin too. You don't spin, you lean. Anyway, what do you guys htink about where i'm at now?

I'd go for the lincoln. At worst if I didn't land it when I first started out I would land on the back of my skiis and slide the landing on my back.

I never got hurt doing it.
