I have a friend that can do them off small kickers and large kickers. I think it's one of those tricks where once you get it, it's pretty versatile.

that was my second ever attempt. The first time I stomped it perfectly, but this time I rotated a little late. Just don't think and just do them bc they are so easy

Cat tracks with a relatively steep drop off. nice thing about this is if you under rotate a little bit your skis kinda shoot you back up to your feet.

front flip was my first flip. I did it off a roller and it came around pretty easily.

Fronts were my first flips too. Mogul kicker into the bumps too. I found fronts are easier with a lot of lip and deep powder to land in.

I feel like just off the lip of a jump is the easiest way to do it

Small kicker, not too poppy so you're not fighting the jump. Steep landing is a plus in case you don't quite bring it around.
