Hey everyone. I got my backflip down and was wondering what the easiest spin would be to throw with it? How tough is it to just put a 180 in with it? Thanks for the suggestions.

Not too difficult, once you really get used to the backflip rotation and you flip it so that you've got a good view of your landing most of the time. You might want to try it one of these ways- 1)do a backflip, and then as you come out of the flip twist your legs around and get the 180 in- i.e., backflip 180 or late 180. or 2) do the backflip thinking of the rotation, so by the time you're out of the flip you've already got the spin in- i.e. rodeo five or backhalf.
It helps with both of them if you're pretty tucked up while in your flip/spin.

If you just have back flips down I would say go for a front flip and maby a lincon loop before you try to do spinny flipy tricks. I don't know at all since I can't do inverts but I would think that learning other straight flips would also help everything else.

yeah i'd go for the lincoln loop before you start spinning in your backs. or just pull some grabs with the back.
