I'd recommend a TS invert. You have 2 HS, sounds like its time for a TS. My buddy's first was a TS backroll, my first was a Scarecrow followed immediately by a frontroll. Can't go wrong with any of those 3.

Typically speaking HS FS 360 is the easiest 3. Everyone is different but I'd guess 90%+ learn that 360 first, myself included. I actually tried the HS BS 360 first but had line tension issues and decided to try the FS 3 which took me a day to learn.

Good luck!

Dusty

Agreed

Don't agree; yes for most the HS 3 is the first 3, but the TS 3 is MUCH easier. It's actually easier to do a 180 than a ts w2w jump, so the first 180 happens 'automatically', you only have to do some effort for the 2nd 180.

the only thing is that my TS W2W jumps are not always consistent, i can clear it if i really try but dont do that everytime i need help getting a better TS pop and is it easier to land one handed or two?

That's always funny, that people do inverts and spins while not having the basics (ts, switch) down. Yeah get your TS solid (and start riding switch if you don't yet).

You're asking about landing one handed or two; which trick?
