I am goin to learn flips this year but i dont know which one i should try Front Back or lioncoln first? i can bring around fronts at woodward but i havnt landed a back (may have been because i tore my rotator cuff earlier that day but kept on shreddin) never tried lincoln off jump at woodward. So which flip is easiest to try/ land first?   Tweak = included lincoln loop

the first flip that i learned (and only so far) was a lincoln out of the bottom of the halfpipe at windells. to me i seemed the least scary because instead of landing on your neck/head/back if you over rotate you will probably just land on your side.

For me at least:

Frontflips: Least scary, hardest to land cleanly

Lincolns: Kind of awkward to throw, but not overly difficult

Backflips: By far the easiest to do, but the mental block kills

I went to woodward too

Backs: By far easiest, just sketchy
Fronts: Hardest to throw
Lincolns: Awkward motion to continue, but easier to throw than fronts.

Protip: Fuckithuckit backflip
