steep is always better to an extent though.

i dunno, if you're throwing inverst like a backflip and you have a steep landing it's alot easier to over rotate i found when i first tried, but then i had a mellower one and it was a bit easier

a steep landing is always better. you can go bigger, and the landing just feels soooo much better.

always go steeper unless you have an insanus amount of pow. But with 13inches id find a steep spot.

I like a happy medium because if it's too flat it sucks to land even if there is pow and if it's too steep you have drawn out crazy tumbling bails that lead to destroyed ankles, knees etc. (trust me I know).

and make sure ur jump is built to bring u down just right on the landing, because if its steep and the landing starts falling away, thatll really suck for u

good call, there's nothing worse than coming around on 3's and shit like that and seeing that you're still getting further from the ground rather than closer.
