Havent done one and I was wondering the same thing. I would think the end of a halfpipe would be a good spot, right?

not something poppy, I built a jump at a hill, and made it too poppy and started going corc and spinning, which you dont want to do, but either way, make sure you pick a point in the distance and keep your eyes on it while you spin around it.

I also want to know a good spot because I was thinking about trying my first one just off a table top because I can do them easily off a diving board or on a trampoline.

hips are always a good spot.

Ding ding ding. A medium-smallish jump with a lot of pop is what you want. I learned them this way and it wasn't to bad, landed it my first try.

I have lincolns super dialed on trmaps and stuff, so i thought i had a decent shot at getting close to landing my first try, the lip was super sketch and much to steep in my opinion to try them but i tried anywyas and ended up gettin really bucked by the lip and not being able to spin anymore and falling from the sky and landing on my back, didnt hurt to bad but i dont think a small lippy jump is the ideal spot to learn them, hope that helps.

a jump into powder is the best way to go, cause if you land on your head (like i did today) it doesn't hurt. if not, i'd say a hip?

It would be best to try your first link and loop off something with not too much kick and preferably into powder.

i did my first one on a glorified roller into some powder. You can spin them really fast so you dont need much air at all, but ob, the bigger you go, the less you have to worry about under-rotating...

Also, they are pretty easy off most park jumps.  Get comfortable with the rotation off a diving board or on tramps then go for it and you will probably get really close if not land it
