I would like to learn a new trick, but im not sure what a good trick to learn would be for my current skill level.

I can do 540's and im working on grabs, i can do a bunch of grabs with a 360, i am working on switch 360 and i can 180 and switch 180.


So, does anyone have any suggestions??

Please help

i would disagree. When i was learning frontflips, flipping off one foot put me off axis and made me do a misty type rotation. Off rollers its kind of nessecary to put one foot forward, but if you're learning them off jumps then just put both feet forward, tuck and roll.. super rewarding trick

You guys honestly think this guy should start trying flips???



It's up to you man, but I'd really work on your switch stuff. You should definately be competent enough to switch 3 over any size jump before you attempt inverts. I'm not trying to piss on your progression parade, but you have to make sure you have the confidence and ability to execute.

And you might, who knows, based on the other tricks you can do I'd say work on spinning switch and with grabs and improving those skills before you get over your head with something totally new on of much higher risk.


Do what you want, but use good judgement!

I don't understand what that means.  Sounds like your friend progressed in a weird way.  I think freeskiers should value the ability to spin well over the ability to flip well, but thats just me maybe

if you can switch 3 and 3 with grabs then straight up switch 10's to 14's. you can just hck them and get you rotation hopefully somewhere in there

Back flips and front flips are both pretty easy.
Don't start too early on the back flip though because you could hit your head on the lip. Just be patient and committed.

the kid can flip really easily on tramps and shit and when he spins he just hucks but he never goes for switch spins. hes on the freestlye team at my mountain and his coaches told him to do a front flip so he did it. now he does superman fronts off 40-50 footers.

go for bigger spins, corks, and simple inverts. For the inverts, i wud suggest learning them on a trampoline first tho.

I can back flip and front flip on a trampoline, on the ground and off all sorts of things.
I've never tried corks on a trampoline and my lincoln loops are sketchy
