go for the back flip, if u get sketchy youll probley end up doing a back 180, just go for it. there easier than 540, or 720 once you get it.

In terms of simple simplicity, a backflip is the easiest trick- what with the angle of the jump and everything, you're already a quarter of the way around already, and the momentum is pushing you that way. But it takes balls, and in general has more risks than other flips. Loops and front flips for me are easier mentally but harder physically. When I started flipping, I did front flips to get used to being inverted, then started backflips once I had the balls. You will usually go nuts with fear before you do your first back, but once you do it it's so easy it's funny.

wouldnt a front be scarier? diving forward into the fround against the direction the jump wants u to go..and not being able to spot ur landing..

backs are scary cause u just lean back and dont know whats going to happen...and the first time u try backs dont do it in flat light, cause spotting ure landing is really important so i just over rotated all of mine.....i thik misty 5's are the least scariest things, its not really a 'flip' but its hard to get hurt if u dont go big

misty 5s were the first flip or off axis thing i tried. sooo not scary. you cant get hurt on them either. unless you come down from like 50 feet.
i still cant land inverts or anything yet....

if you know how to throw stuff (tramp experience) it's really easy....backflips are the easiest trick (to do how you see your landing for 90% of the trick) fronts are scary to try to land....easy to throw, havent tried a loop yet, and my misty's always turn into bios....and i'm the king of corked spins and d-spins....once you know the rotation for those...you can do them with your eyes closed

i just got my first backs today, the first time i wasnt too scared except halfway through the flip all i could see was sky so i got scared and tucked my head in and stoped and landed on my back then next time i sorta landed it but just on my tails and fell pretty soon after and then the third time i really overrotaded and couldnt even land it, i could never spot my landing, 90% of the time all i saw was sky you all probably dont care but oh well i ma psyched

Until you get a feel for backs its kinda hard to land. For me it just clicked one day, I always used to over-rotate cuz I didnt really know how to land.

Misty 5s are a lot harder than backs, but generally not as scary in my opinion. Its kinda crazy on a big jump, I tend to over-rotate and land kinda backseat and whiplash my body/head to the ground.

i did backs first and just did a lincoln but i think the lincoln was less scary, i just always mess up timing on the backflip for some reason on the takeoff.

A lincoln is isupposed/i to be a pure barrel roll, but a lot of people do them off axis. To do it just throw your head towards your ankles, that bit of advice helps so much. Oh, and when youre in the air, try to know where you are and resist twisting, once you do them a few times youll know what I mean.

I think a D-spin 7 is the easiest trick. I can't straight air big jumps I need to go inverted sounds crazy but I've talked to others who are deathly affraid of straight airs.

Sorry to deviate from the path here, but lifejacket's signature is a little off. I am totaly NOT saying that the riders who gave their feed back and helped in the design of the scratch don't smoke. However the THC core is not somthing tanner made up. It was taken directly from Rossignol snowboards. Their snowboards have been made with THC for the last two or so seasons. Its a blend of three materials, wood Microcell and Isocore, it is much more resiliant, has more pop and doesn't break like the old duel-tech shit.

Thought you might like to know.
