I learned a tantrum first too. try both and see which one is more comfortable.

I learned a Pete Rose first. Then a Speedball. I actually thought the speedball was easier, so go for that.

Most people start doing backrolls but, from what all these guys say I guess tanny's are easy too, I still gotta land mine, Deal with my dad.

Most people i know learned back roll first. I am not sure why, it was real hard for me to picture in my mind. I guess the consensus is one of the following three whichever you can focus on easiest: back roll, toeside roll, tantrum. Toeside roll may be harder b/c most beginners and intermediate riders have crappy toeside jumps. IMO

funny, i landed a back roll the very first time, i tried and now i still have not landed an other one, i took one big and got beat up bad!!!
Tried a tantrum and had it i about five tries, then toeside back roll, this summer i will stick the dreaded back roll, i may have a whirlybird be for a backroll,!!
peace
i think tantrums are the easiest!

i learned the raley to osmosis first. seriously though, try both and see which rotation feels more comfortable and then stick with until youi get it.

i learned a backroll first, i was trying the tanny and couldnt do it, but the backroll is simple, just glide off the wake and keep leaning back, u can do it in ur sleep almost.

Backroll ---> Tanny ---> scarecrow ----> RAYLEY!
