lincolns are probably the easiest inverted tricks. just pop and drop your inside shoulder is really all you gotta do.

Think like a cartwheel almost. Head to shoulder, bring your knees up. Pick out a landmark directly in front of you and don't look away from that. If you don't, you'll probably end up turning it one way or another and landing 90 or sw.

Look at the video, try to mix it with a backflip and it's much easier than just a cartwheel to the side. When I do em' I set them up like im going to do a backflip but Iean my head towards my shoulder and kinda push my shoulder forward. 

Im gonna give this one try:

Keep your eyes centered on a point in front of you. (Although it's easy to learn underflips if you set your rotation like a lincoln and look at the ground...)

I learned backflips on my first try this season but I haven't landed one lincoln loop yet (around 15 attempts). It's been waaay hearder than I expected. I can't seem to land them, I'm always ending up backseat...

yah i just tried my first one ever last saturday, and i did a lincoln loop 180, and my first one i didnt have enough speed, my second one i didnt turn full 180, and my third one i landed and caught my edge because my binding became loose on the landing for some reason.  

has this ever happened to anyone else

First: if you have access to a diving board its alot easier to try it on that than snow cause the rotation is pretty awkward at first. The best thing to do is to get a good pop off the lip so you get more air and the trick will feel more natural. You want to then reach down toward your right foot with your right hand and focus on throwing your legs sideways over your head rather than your head under your feet. The most important thing here is your eyes, pick a point off in the horizon and fixate on it, the world should spin around that point like a clock which feels dope. If you feel like your going to over rotate, just let your body spin sideways with any excess momentum and land switch if you have to. Hope this helps.

pop with both feet, and take the arm on the side that your flipping and jam it into your side
just commit and let the rest of your body follow
itll work out
good luck man
