Well, to answer your first question, the one that the topic of this page is... I don't know what the differance between the two are. But the tantrum looks cooler.

Second question: Back roll is easier to learn because of the way you launch from the wake.

And for my own litle thingie. Its ok, litle red-neck girls are so hot! Well thats just me mabey.

ok a tantrum is like a backflip on a trampoline, just straight back. a back roll is like a cartwheel to the left

a tantrum is a backflip which is side over side and a backroll is a roll which is tip over tip

I learned a tantrum first but the back roll is so much easier. All you have to do is hit the wake on a pretty good edge, extend off the top, look up and not down and before you know it you are back on the water. Tantrums are funner though, you can stall them out and make em look cool.

Also, think of a backroll as a "gainer" and a tantrum as a "backflip"

a backroll is not tip over tip it is a actual flip. tip over tail would be a backflip although i've never seen one i would think its the same as frontflip vs. frontroll.

I think just don't blast if im wrong
