pop huck and tuck. dont look towards the sky with your head but rather tilt it 90 degrees to get the full rotation or else you will turn it into a rodeo type thing

Remember to throw it perpindicular to the ground, not the lip. Basically what the other guy said, don't let it become a weird rodeo or misty

pop off throw the loop (same as on the tramp), Look at the landing the entire time to make sure you dont go off axis and so you can see where your going, remember to tuck your knees to your chest not the other way around. extend out after the rotation and stomp the shit outa the landing, ride away like a boss....

o yea number one rule with inverts.....

commit, might help to do a safety grab, dont look down just look straight, turn upper body 90 degrees.

find something in front of you to focus on, it helps stop your body from getting all sideways. that's how I figured them out. ear to shoulder, bring the knees in, keep your focus forward, and stomp.

Calculate how much airtime the jump gives you and huck accordingly if its on a small jump just throw it as hard as u can pop, ear to shoulder. To set keep your right arm down when aproaching and throw it up in a cartweel motion as you pop
