Carved v Flat spin?

Which do you find easier?
Carves feel smooth but when going for bigger spins I have a hard time judging the rotation and when I spin without any carve up the ramp I tend to land backseat more often.

Any opinions?

do what you're most comfortable with. if you want to carve, practice doing bigger spins while carving!

For real :)

Idk about other people though. Couple of my friends throw 7s with massive stance and just huck themselves. Works... SOMETIMES. Rarely, moreso.

carved looks better IMO. I don't like watching people roll up inruns completely straight.

I agree, I don't like the LOLHELICOPTERBLADES look.
