any jump your comfortable on is good, Just hit the jump and straight air it like twice to get the perfect speed and if you feel comfortable then you can learn so much in one day

I vote for big. it's so much easier off a 45 footer than it is off a small jump.

bigger jumps are better, cause u barely have to throw the spin, where as small jumps u have to huck and u dont get a good feel for teh spin, if u hit a bigger jump u can get a good air sence and know where u are at all times

start small and get up to the bigger ones, eventually they'll be easier on big ones

i vote for trying both

If you like going off big, then big since you have more time. On small jumps you have to spin faster

practice both, don't limit yourself to one thing or the other. you'll regret not spinning over big tables when you find yourself with a really good one that you can only straight air over. but then again, if you only practice on big tables, you're going to EAT IT when you hit a small table and set the rotation too slowly.

learn on a small jump, because the hard thing about the 360 i thought was commiting, but once you can 360 off small shit you know you can do it off like 25-30 and then work you way up

Definitely a jump you have 180's down on.... to be honest with you, i landed my first three off of the side of a rail jump, like the jump to get on the rail, and slowly worked my way up. keep at it

I learned it on a roller.
Like you get three rollers and u do 180, switch 180, 360 bam before u know it.
Then go big, it's much smoother.

I learned it in my backyard, you reall ydon't need a large jump but as soon as you've stuck it work your way up.
