i wanna try an invert trick, but i dont know which to throw first...
i can do a 360-540 misty front on the board,
a 360 misty back, a layed out back etc etc...almost all flips off the board even a 1 1/2...
but i dunno what to try first?
unfortunately my tamp is away and i was in a caast all summer

My first was a backflip, I landed my 3rd try, pretty easy for me now.

there's no restrictions at my hill, at my old one there was...um well I'm not really sure what a 360 misty or a 360 misty back is...but I think ure just saying a misty 7 and a back full...those i hear are pretty tough on skis, so I'd go w/ a back or front

yah...backflips are pretty easy..i landed mine on my second attempt. You can spot your landing and control the rotation a lot easier then with a front flip.

Backs arent hard if you commit. If you can nail them on the diving board and you go at it with confidence then you should be okay.

i started trying fronts last year after i did a shit load of them on a tramp. Decide what you want to do then practice it a lot and go over it in your head then just do it.

how do you do a misty 360? anyways, try either a backflip or frontflip. If its a back, try it on a jump that kicks you into the air.

i dunno, a front flip with a 360 in it, isnt that a misty 360?....thats what we call it round here, prob not what it is though....
its a rodeo with an extra 1/2 spin in it to get the 360 or a whole extra spin for the 540... that looks ill..

Well, a misty 360 and a Front Flip 360 are two seperate things. For one, there is no such thing as a misty flip 360 (at least, not one I am aware of). Anyways, I would suggest for you for your first invert to be a Front flip because all you have to do is huck yourself over a small jump. There is not a lot of a fear and usually the worst that can happen is you land on your back. It is a fairly easy trick, and if you commit, they are even easier. Butttt...if you really feel confident with backflips, they are about 4x easier to land, it just takes a little more balls to do.
