I am learning some new tricks on the tramp (Im not too good) but I can do spins up to 720, almost 9's, front flip, misty 540 (or is it a 180, it looks like a 540 when I watched the film), almost 720 (if the one before is a 540, otherwise almost 360) and thats about it...I don't want to try backflips. I have no idea why but it's wierd...what tricks should I try next and how do I them? THANKS!

backflips scare lots of people, but once you try one of them, you'll realize how fucking easy they are. they're much easier than frontflips. if you don't wanna try that, i would recommend to get your mistys up to 9, then go for d-spin. just try to rotate a lot more before you go inverted then you'll figure it out.

oh, good pointer for backflips, wait till your in the air to flip, dont pop/leanback at same time otherwise your goin off the tramp...

misty 180 would land u on ur head, but for new tricks, it wouldnt hurt to get comfortable spinning, then move on to off axis and all that shit

flatspins are probly one of teh hardest tricks to do well on tramp, so id just go with cork or misty, but really, should be able to spin 9s comfortably before u go on to everything else, or itll hurt u in the long run

flatspins aren't that hard (it depends if you do them chest down (harder) or chest up). you just gotta know how to do mistys and rodeos first. so figure out which you're more comfortable with fronts or backs then go from there if you're ok with landing blind then try things like underflips and if you need to spot you're landing try a cork, just spin fast and throw your right hand down to grab safety.

start working on unnatural stuff, try to work up to an unnatural misty 5, that'll keep you occupied for at least a month


But I ain't one ta gossip, so you ain't heard that from me.

i can do all those tricks on the tramp, but i would like to learn a flip on skis. i sometimes freak out when i do backflips into or off of something, but not with fronts. what do u recommend, and is the best age to learn them on skis, andwhat type of jump do u recommend for front-one with big or small lip?

cork 180's are killing me.

I've been trying to figure it out.. I think it may be possible to lean off axis and slighty spin say to the left, use that momentum to revert to the right and get back on axis for just a 180

start with frontflips. but really backflips arent that hard. but you could also curl up in a corner and be a pussy the rest of your life. you choose.


Is that a fucking dress youre wearing?

Ive got a snowboader friend that does SUPER corked backside 180's they are soooooooo sick. He is pretty much lying on his stomach in the air, and then brings it back round under his feet by the landing.
Dont know how it would work on skis.
