Toeside Invert?

What toeside invert would you suggest to try first. Heelside i can do a backroll and tantrum and some spins. Toeside just spins and grabs, i just don't know which invert to try first. Which is easiest.
Thanks

I'm no expert so I stand to be corrected. I've tried toeside frontrolls but never any heelside inverts. If you can do a tantrum and can do a front flip on a tramp or off a diving board then you're ready to try a toeside front roll. Like a tantrum it's a trip flip with a rail over rail rotation, sort of a mirror image. Some people find a scarecrow easier though.

yeah, some find scarecrow easier cuz u can hold on with both hands. But you DO have to be able to take HUGE landings switch. I can't do one. I dont have the balls to go upside down. but i got my new board today, in my profile, so we'll see how it turns out. Very Happy

Thanks. Im going to go boarding Sat or Sun or maybe both Laughing

I am going to try one or the other, or just try something, so we will see what happends. Front roll or scarecrow? Anyone other opinions?

yeah i got an opinion...try a ts backroll, it is my first and only (so far) toeside invert and if you can do a backlip on land or on the trampoline then this should be pretty simple. especially since u can do tantrums, it is very similar in rotation and you can spot your landing way ahead of time

I think i am going to try both, and which ever seems to come more natural or easily i will work on more. My only problem is being consistent. I can land a hs backroll 65-75% of the time, and i can land the tantrum only about 50% of the time. I know i should spend time to perfect them, but i am just inpatient.
