learning spins is much more rewarding than learning a new rail trick for me. my first 7 felt soooo good, all stomped with a dub saftey

my first 5 was on accident, i still remember it. I went to spin 3 but they lengethen the table so i had more air and i just kept spinning past 3, i got this weird feeling in my stomach.

Try corks they are so much fun.

ya dude, cork 3s are the shit, they feel so good. The first attempts i landed almost on my face, so just like keeping looking up to come out of it. Soon youll be able to do them pollard style, which is the best. But cork 5s were easier for me at first then cork 3s, because you have more time to go cork and come un corked

i learned 5's abuot mid-late season, but couldn't progress at my mountain cause it only has a small table, and a big 1 that isn't properly placed so u don't get enough speed ffrom the dropin. and i tried some 7's at the end of march rbeak, ended up being 630's but whatever

I landed my 1st 540 last weekend too, it was so awsome. Except the only one i landed, I hit a rut on the run out. But its just an awsome feeling when you get new tricks down for the 1st time.

yeah i have an easier time landing switch than i do regular, but i did a 3 before i did a 1 and a 5 because i didn't have twin tips when i did a 3. cool thing is i landed my first ever attempts at 3 and 5, i hope it's that way for 7s (which i'm trying next time i go up).
