Going for my Misty 540

Weather has warmed up over here on the east coast, so I figured this is the weekend I was going to try and throw some new bigger tricks. I've never misty 5'd and I'd like to try it. Thoughts? Difficulty? Is it similar to doing it on a trampoline? I'm also thinking switch frontflip, but I've heard that can be sketchy, ideas on that? I'm gonna try a 9 but that's just spinning so I really don't need much help on that. Really looking to hear about the misty. Any tips would be great.

If you can front flip on skis and you can Misty 5 on a trampoline I venture you can Misty 5 on skis. I haven't attempted one on snow yet but it doesn't sound like much of a stretch going from a front to a misty. I'd say it's easier than the transition from 1's to 3's.

The difference is that with skis you have these big long things that stick out from your toes and the lip of the jump to get those over. I'm sure you could do it though

I agree, ive never tried the trick that you are going for but the skis have definitely affected the outcome of some of my other tricks

just make sure to pop hard, and commit, you'll bring it around and most likely stomp in a few tries.

Yah I feel like as long as you get 110+' of rotation you should be able to ride it out. Just gotta shift the hips after the front.

I have tried them before off a pretty steep up-rail. ended up doing misty 630, and never actually stomped it. but the key for me was kinda lifting up my lead foot near the end of the rail and stomping it down to get the required pop.

Good luck broseph

misty 5's are soooo easy. Just dip that back shoulder as if you were jumping and rolling onto a bed.

The most important thing you got to remember is to wait at the end to pop don't pop to early and you'll get it ! It was my first flip and I landed it firtst time good luck !

do some front flips first. a really important part of the trick is actually doing the frontflip, so make sure you're focused on the flip component as well as the spin. It may have just been an issue for me starting out because I really hadn't done that many fronts before going for misty.

i've only done them into a bag but for me they felt pretty much the same as on tramp, just obviously it takes longer to get them around on account of the extra weight of your skis. if the snow is nice and soft go for it man.

its really about the same as the tramp. I think its easier taking misty from tramp to snow than it is taking frontflip from tramp to snow

Misty 5 was the first flip I ever did and stomped it first try. Throw your shoulder pop then let yourself roll over your back then you can see your landing.

Here are some of mine !!




Good luck man and have fun !!
