this. i learned them before front and back. they are lower risk as long as you commit, as over/underrotating goes from, at worst hip check, to landing on your feet with your weight a little off centre.

Depends on what you find easier, front or back. But lincoln for sure seems pretty easy although I can't do em for shit

you probably didnt pop when you tried it. almost every1 do that when they first try lincoln and they end up landing backseat or they just dont land. try to pop and then throw the loop, that way your lincoln will stay axed.

i'd say lincoln loop or rodeo 5's. the flips are simple and they don't seem near as scary as backs or fronts.

it doesnt really matter, when you start doing invert your gunna feel uncomfortable and sketchy. as long as you commit and spot your landing youll be fine. try rodeo's to start, and once you start stomping those everything else comes soo easy

Misty 5's are super easy. I went from backies to misty 5. Looking for rodeo or flat this weekend. I tried a lincoln once and got fucked, I can dub lincoln on tramps but idk what happened when I tried on snow.

Agreed, flats 3s are VERY easy, not to scary to try either

lincolns are so easy you just pop and put your ear to you shoulder, once you nailed this just pull it round and land switch that always looks good

Sounds like you didnt commit. Or on the other hand it could have been a case of not popping, which i a fairly

Which is a fairly common reason not to land. I spent a while not popping but still getting the rotation round and kept on knuckling.

Off-axis bacflip (usually with a japan grab too) is not a flat three.


Here's a flat three.

lincoln for sure. ear to shoulder, look at one spot ahead of you the whole time, and POP.

not in that order.
