backrolls for most people are easier. a tantrum is a back flip and a backroll is more of a roll

To put it simply, yes that is true. As far as actually doing them, though, the difference is much more complicated.

Some will say one is harder, others will say the other is harder. IMO, which is easier depends on what you're more comfortable with. Read up on how to do both and visualize yourself doing both. The one to try first is the one you can visualize yourself doing the clearest. I did that and chose to try the tantrum first.

As for the 360, it's a completely different trick. As far as progression goes, I don't think it matters which you do first (360 vs invert). An invert would probably be easier unless you have a mental block against going upside down. So again, it's different for every person. I chose to learn a 360 first, despite the fact that it's technically harder, because I was nervous about going upside down.

HyperRash, backrolls are generally easier b/c you use a progressive edge all the way through the wake. Whereas with tantrums, you have to use a trip flip edge that is different from normal wake to wake jumps.

3's are hard b/c getting the handle pass down maybe difficult for some people. In addition, the rotation needs to be started at the right time. Practicing on a trampoline is good training for all these tricks.
