First Invert

I just recently landed a hs 360 w2w and am looking to start trying an invert. What invert do you think is easiest? I was thinking of either a tantrum or a backroll.

Thanks Very Happy

I learned a tantrum first, but either a tantrum or backroll is a good idea.

lots of threads on this if you look, and all of them pretty much end the same...Usually a backroll or tantrum, whatever you feel more comfortable doing. Personally, it was the tantrum for me. I could do flips on the ground, so the rotation made more sense, and I was more comfortable with it.

frontroll is another good first invert.

how comfortable are you with straight backflips? like off of a diving board or trampoline. if you are good at those id go tantrum but otherwise backrolls arent too bad.

I'm not too comfortable with backflips, but am very comfortable with frontflips, should I go for the frontroll?

Frontroll might be rough for a first invert in my opnion.

If your gonna go toeside a scarecrow is easier in my opnion. Otherwise i would say a backroll because thats pretty easy once you stick it.

i learned the frontroll first, actually i havnt learned any others yet. but dont learn the scarecrow before the frontroll, focus on what is going to be better in the long run, not what you can land the quickest.

grokwik, why not a backroll out of the those three? a ts backroll is harder for me in my opion.

All right I think I'll go for a backroll, and snag some video to post up.

every try a crow?

once you land one invert you will take off, i mean you will land a bunch more

actually your better off learning the front roll before the crow because it will make your scarecrows look alot better and easier to learn.
