I'm sure someone will disagree but I think a 360 is alot more forgiving. A tantrum would be tough and you should learn a raely first.

I'd say the 360 is the first one you should learn. Try learning it as an ollie 360 off of rollers first.

scooter,

Out of those, i learned the 360 first.

The 360 is not too hard of a trick to learn, but it is VERY important to learn to spin. Inverts are a lot easier for me, but i wish i could spin better. I say stick with the 3.

Raley is really hard and painful to learn at first, you can try it if you want, but it isn't going to feel well.

Tantrum is fairly easy if you can do a backflip on a trampoline IMO, because it is the same rotation. Took me 2 trys to land it.

Raley's are actually really easy if you know the technique. If you like to go huge into the flats every jump, maybe the raley is for you. For MOST people, however, a 360 or tantrum will be easier. Usually the 360 is easier to learn (mentally at least--you don't have to go upside down, and the release from the wake isn't as tricky at first) but the tantrum is easier to perfect. It really just depends on the rider.
