Learning your first 180, 360, 540 or 720?
For me I'd have to say 360.

Probably 3, but 7 was prety sweet too. They are all pretty satisfying really. cept 1s. I mean, if you cant do a one, you dont know how to ski basically

i would say 360, its the real first spin comapred to a 180, 7s are just double that

3's id say,Ilanded a seven second try and a five first try. theywould have been hella mwah if I had to work for them, but by chance i fluked both in the begining.

i dont know thats fucking hard, 3's mabye cause they are the first step and your like yay i can do this, 5's cause they take skill and your like yay im good, 7's cause they are getting into big spins, so your like yay im better than alot of people, id the most satisfying is doing all those on a 50ft + jump with steez is the most satisfying cause then your like yay im the shit!!

3's because that is the first actual trick you do, because 1's dont count when you go off a 4 foot jump

i learned threes off tiny jumps in trenches at sun valley one christmas and no one was impressed. it was kinda depressing. i learned 5s with sick grabs in the park while dash longe was there and was stoked on it. 7s just kinda happened eventually

i cant really remember my first 3 very well, i think i was all by my little self on the side of a run and i just did it. but i would have to say 7, it was a beautiful spring day, birds chirping, nice booter so i just commited. best decision iv made

I believe having hot steamy sex with a sloth was the most satisfying thing I have ever done.

it also depends on what kind of 3 5 or 7 your talking about, like there is a big difference between your first 3 thats off a 5 foot jump and your first smooth floaty 3 on a big jump.

540 cuz i told some one i could do it when i couldnt and then he said prove it and i just did it. but that was like 8 years ago, 900 was the best for me

540 because its like for a few days your stuck with the 3 and after you do your first 5 you realize that you can spin big.

It took a long time for me to stop falling back when ladning 7s, so once i got my first one it was definately the most satisfying

540, i landed it first try and i was so pumped on it, like o yeah im the shit but 3's when your younger seem like the best thing that can happen when your skiing and such

Probably 360. But that feeling definitely pales in compairson to any time I stomp the crap out of a cliff over 20 feet. That's a way bigger rush than spinning off a jump!

my first 5, first attempt i pretty much stuck it in some pow, my dins werent turned up enough so i double ejected to a face plant while riding switch.

I actually say 1's if you are doing them off medium sized jumps.I actually learned a three before a 1 off about a 2o footer...I had trouble landing switch. But once I got my 1's down and I was landing switch, I learned 5's and switch3's
Can't really talk about 7's yet, because i havent really landed one smoothly yet...only kinda hucked one.

im gonna up the bar and say 9. each spin was easy to get cuz it was just 180 more. when i was little i was into skateboarding and tony hawks 900 was a huge deal, so when i landed a 9 on skis i felt like the shit because i did just as many spins as tony hawk- i didnt really care that he did it on a skateboard... i felt badass.

like the one guy said, 7s are kinda the barrier into big tricks. everyone can three and five, so i felt like getting the seven was kinda like, "ok, maybe i'm actually a good skier now."

3s, 7s, and 9s I landed on my first second or third try. When I first tried 5s I must have done around 15 and kept hiking and throwing them and hiking and throwing them and I finally landed one and I was so happy.
