What tricks gave you particular trouble to learn on skis or tramp? Rodeos took so long for me. tramped for like six hours straight with no success. i have also heard that people found corks difficult to learn as well, but lets hear your stores ns.

i cant do laid out back-flips i can do flat, cork, misty, and double rodeo's but whenever i do i back-flip my legs naturally come up to my chest so they don't look cool and laid out.

Throw with your head and shoulders more and get more height whether you're on tramp or snow. You're tucking because you need to speed up your flip. Give yourself more time and set harder and you'll be able to get it around easier.

For me it was hand drags off knuckles. There's something pretty scary about being so close to the snow while your going that fast parallel to the hill.

Why are ppl saying front 4s and back 2s? We arent snowboarders, either way its either a 270 or a sw 270, 450 or sw 450. Whats the deal with calling it front or back?
