So i can do a misty on flat ground easily and wanted to try it off of a rail last year but never did. I was wondering if it would be similar or completely different to this and if it would be an easy transition. sliding on a rail versus popping off the ground.
Well i was trying to frontflip and i couldn't quite pop hard enough and I kept destroying by ankles. I got it down a little better now. But anyway, I tried to misty one day and it just came around really easily plus you don't need as much rotation to land misty as you do for a frontflip. They are a lot easier than you would think and its difficult to get hurt. If you come up short your hands will always stop your fall.
my friend does it onto mats first then soft grass and now he can do it off curbs onto like pavemnet. He tried to teach me frontflips like such but I can only get it to a thin mat. BTW we can both do the tricks on snow first, which helps.
this makes me wonder about expanding my own flip game. I've really gotten into a whole bunch of new inversions this summer, into water off of my dock. Lincoln loops, misties, backs, rodeos, and gainers. How hard is it to bring them to snow?
The idea is super intimidating, but I was at the beach the other day, sending nice front flips into the surf in about ankle deep water.
I'm wondering how much harder inversions off of jumps are??
yeah, i can basically do misty off anything also. But if you'd spin it off rail, you would have to do sideflip 90. or rodeo 4, whatever you want to call it.
The idea is super intimidating, but if you've got it down on ground you'll probably overrotate it/feel it and land it perfectly on snow. While more dangerous, doing flips, etc. on skis are much less hucked than on flat ground.
