Finally learned 180s...not much I know, but what should be next from a progression standpoint? i'm interested in 360s but don't know if I should learn the most I can do with 180s. Help me out! Please?

3s are incredibly easy on small jumps. You'll probably land your first one. Just go for it.

practice 3's man. once you get comfortable with those, then you move on to grabs with those spins. when you're doing the three, keep your head turned and your body will follow. keep that simple concept in your head and it will work! hope this helps.

Quads or GTFO.






But seriously go for the 3 first, then after you get those down start working on grabs and being smoother.

A lot of the replies are pretty much saying the same thing, but I think this one really sums it all up. Just go for the 360 and once you get it down you'll be able to pull it out with steez! Good luck

Idk guys, he might fall and break his helmet or something if he goes for a dub. We wouldn't want that now would we?

after my first 180 I only found the simple triple cork 18 to be the natural trick for my progression

Learn some grabs first, then spin with them.

weird that this is the only post saying to learn grabs first. I agree that kids should get the straight air grabs before spins. learn as many grabs as you can, then spin and add the grabs. this is natural progression
