It should be whatever you are most comfortable on the tramp or whatever you are most comfortable committing with. I've tried sideflips on a jump that was way too small but it wasn't scary at all.

maybe i'm retarded but i'm pretty sure a flatspin is a flatspin because you are NOT INVERTED

Backie for sure, sounds scarier, but it is a whole lot easier to spot your landing.

Back flip is the best to learn first. Before you try it on snow make sure your really comfortable with the particular jump your trying it on so you know how hard to throw it. After that learn flat 3's. I had major problems with flat 3's over the summer, but finally figured out that i was doing them completely wrong. Anyways those are probably the 2 easiest to learn. Good luck!

JackdclarkI have sideslips down i just didn't know how it would work on a jump.


A sideflip, or Lincoln loop (aka lencon) is done by leaning hella far forward and popping hard off the lip. Also when you put your ear to your shoulder try to have it more forward than backwards, that sort of helps you land more forward. But even though I tried Lincolns first on skis I think a backflip is easier to bring around than a Lincoln, but just a little scarier to try
