are you comfortable with hs bs 180s? if so thats probably the easiest one because of the early handle pass.

I started wiith frontside, but the best way to figure out what works for you is to try both.

I started with the frontside but I am more comfortable with the backside. If you can do a BS180 the BS will be easier.

This thread isnt really helping, some people prefer frontside, others backside. I recon you just chuck one of each and see which is more natural. I prefer frontside on a wakeboard but backside on a snowboard, its all about what feels more comfortable.

Just get out and huck it bru!!

well going by the "higher education volume 1 and 2" dvd. They kind of list things in difficulty order. Frontside 360's come before backside. Backside spins are always a little more difficult because of the way you have to land (with a wrap hold, or a handle pass) I personally think that backside 360's are harder because I can land FS 3's easy and havent even came close to a BS.
