Hey guys, just wondering if I should send a flat 3. I can flat 3 on a trampoline easily. They don't seem too hard and I am comfortable with getting air. I don't know if they are much harder in skis than on a trampoline so I would appreciate some tips. Thanks!

It's a pretty easy transition from tramp to skis, start with a smaller jump and use a Japan grab to help you get into the axis and pull you around. Flat 3s are a good trick to attempt and mess up because you can spot the landing early and land on your side instead of catching edge. You should be totally fine, especially if you've done backflips as I think flat spins are an easier/quicker rotation depending on how you do them. Good luck!

I say got for it dude, if you're super comfortable I'm the air, can backflip and can do flat 3s easily on trampolines if say you got it. Post the vid when you try it tho.

I have literally no idea how to do them even on the trampoline, but they look pretty simple. I'm off to France next week so If I can find a nice powder landing, and with a bit of peer pressure, I'm definitely gonna be sending it.

Considering you cant even do a 360, id suggest working your way up before attempting a flat 3

or a backflip for that matter as a flat 3 is kinda somewhere in-between.

Fknsndr bud! They're really not that hard and you can get away with under or over rotating.
