I have gotten to 7's and want to learn inverts.
People tell me that front flips are best but i hear that the jump has to be perfect.
And personally i don't wanna eat shit so bad i can't ski out the season haha.

yeah i would say start with frontflips and once your comfortable with being inverted, try backflip into some pow or out of a pipe.

normally i would say a backflip, but for a girl, as you mentioned, a misty would be the best just cause the name sounds kinda girly.

Backflip for sure. They're a little scarier to do the first time, but sooo much easier to land.

lincolns are pretty easy just practice them a lot and it's the same thing on skis.

ouch.   But yeah, do you think inverts are gender specific?  just go for a backflip off a jump with a steep lip

On a board its probably easier to front flip off like a big roller or something that just give you some nice pop, there easier to recover from too

I would prolly say the easiest and safest back flip on a back country kickers with lots of kick. The steeper the take off the less rotation is required  because you are already rotated 40-60 degrees when you take off. Also you can spot your landing way earlier. And do it in the pow, and if you can get a hold of some back protection. Good luck with the attempt.

And if you can, wait for a backcountry kicker, i had a friend under rotate about 90 degrees his first attempt, but he didnt get hurt cause he landed in pow, but im pretty sure he would have broken something in the park.  GOOD LUCK

i actually think lincoln loops are prolly the least intimidating invert. you should start with a loop. soft snow for sure tho

I learned backs 2 years ago in Whistler on a nice back country jump with my brother.   I did it a few times...but haven't taken it into the park for one reason or another. But haven't gotten 7's.  Let's switch

jk, probably a front flip. I have been working them out on a diving board and they seem to be the easiest/ most natural feeling invert.
