i got 360/ everytime with grabs and 540s most of the time with a few grabs. I think I'm ready to try a 7 but I heard Jake Muller say in his 540 video that the set was different for 7s and 9s. What should I expect and how should I go about doing it.

you're just going to spin around in two circles. It feels good but I'd recommend really pimping out your 3's and 5's and switch 3's and switch 5's instead (working on carving switch and popping switch for those).

Progression can come fast but really becoming smooth with the basics is a better skill in the longrun.

Start by focusing on carving and popping your 3's. Trying out all sorts of new grabs in three's and holding those grabs. Truckdriver, Japan, true nose, shifty to blunt.

To put it simply. Learning to dip your 3's like this (0:15)

is what will really progress your skiing in the right direction instead of just getting your mind set on penciling around your first 720.

Carving, popping, setting tricks right, and air awareness are the real skills you want. As you figure that stuff out, learning a 7 will be as easy as learning a 10 (just more spinning).

Think of it as 2 360s instead of an extra 180 on a 5 it helped me not land backseat

Throw it a little harder than a 5? Haha not too bad, i wouldn't set it any differently either, its not too blind so you should be good.

Just set a little harder and keep looking past 540. Only difficulty you may have is committing past 540.

If you can 5 you can 7. If you can 7 you can 9. If you can 9 you can 10. If you can 10 you can lip on blind truu

funny how people sometimes frame things in a way that wasn't actually intended. In no way was I trying to make a pun out of my use of the word simple. props on drawing that analogy though
