I learned the bs first, and it took me a few bails. Fs came alot easier.

The front side 3 is eaier because you pass the handle and you are done.. You do the first 180, pass behind your back, and when you get the handle, the rope spins you into landing position.
On the bs 3, you pass the handle behind your back for the first 180, and either have to bring that hand around across the front of your body to your lead hip, or pass the handle to your front hand again to land. You have to spin and get in the landing position yourself after passing the handle.

frontside is a lot easier for most people because you can bring the rope all the way across your body before u have to pass it while for a bs 3 you need to pull with one arm behind your back in an awkward position
