Well I was wondering what does everyone find/think is harder?

Spins such as 180, 360...So on..

OR

Flips such as Frontflip, Backflip

I personaly think Flips are harder but thats probably cause I can't do them Lol

I say flips for sure because they take alot more power to make them work. And with spins if you have twintips you can always land backwards.

Yeah I heard that front flips were hard, One of my mates broke his nose trying...Lol (I laughed hard)
But I gotta give it to him for trying...

Big spins are harder than flips?

backrflips are really easy to just do...

to actually get right and perfect are hard

you can sling a backflip and in comp the judges will judge it horribly even if you land semi good

but i find them easier then a 360

its really just to commit

just looking back having no control and letting the momentum from your body bring you around

for a perfect backflip you have to be able to control it by slightly leaning back

and not leaning back with your neck at all really

and then tuck
