Which is a more sick trick, which is easier to throw, and which is easier to learn.  My buddy and I have this debate i say its a link and loop but what do you say?

Link will only win after playing the dawn song on the Ocarina in front of the secret entrance to the castle.

Sweet, so far i was ahead until the last couple posts.  I thought that front flips would be harder as you do have a blind spot.  I have only done Backflips, never LL or fronts, so we were trying to decide what is easiest.

true, but it depends on the feature and size. i think a front off a 30+ footer is easier than a lincoln in most situations. depends on the take off tho.  lincolns are sometimes easier on other features, your argument is pointless with your friend, because it totally depends on the person and the feature. saying "backcountry" dosent describe the feature.

I've never skiied backcountry but they probably are bout the same as they are in park. Just remember when your throwing a linkin not to make it a flat 3.

If by Link and Loop you mean Lincon Loop then I'd say they're both pretty cool even if none really does lincon loops anymore.

If you didn't mean lincon loop then I have no idea what you're talking about

Lincolns are sicker because they are harder.  I don't even fully understand how to do a lincoln, can't throw hard enough sideways I guess

i think front flips are easier, well at least for me because it takes less commitment. lincolns are harder but a lot sicker.

I linked and looped for my first invert. If you can link your loops on a trampoline it's the same ish..and frontflips are for fags so why bother?

lincoln was my first flip, only becuase I could do it on the trampoline though.
I never do them now they just end up being cork backs or flat 3's.

But I find lincolns easier I can not front flip to save my life.

i think rinkin roops are easier off cliffs because you can spot the landing earlier.
