 |

I've been boarding for a while now. I can jump way beyond the wake with plenty of air. Lookin' to do some type of flip. What should I try first? Toe/heel side, front/back flip?

um, heres my experience. when i was younger, i thought i was fine attrempting a front flip....i landed it, but unfortunately snapped my ankle in the process. work on rolls, like a hs backroll, much safer.

| andygreen12, Assuming you are as good as you say/think you are. Try a Heelside Backroll, or a Heelside Tantrum. If you go to the homepage (www.wakeboarder.com) there are links to find good descriptions and videos of how to do these two inverts. Good Luck |

Yep. Working on rolls before flips is smart. When I tried my first flip, it was messy lol  but then I went to rolls and was okay. So i say stick with rolls first.

backrolls and tantrums are pretty easy to start with cause u can spot you landing a lot easier. as for HS or TS....i guess preference. i started with TS cause i always liked the pop i got.
Good Luck Have Fun and God Bless |

| Heelside backroll for sure. Easiest invert in my opinion. |
