Ok this year i really really want to try and land a flat 5, although i havnt got my first 540 yet i know it will come super easy because i can spin them with ease when jumping off my feet and on tramps and stuff.
since the weather has been really nice lately i want to get one last tramp sesh on my neighbours tramp and i want to try some flat 5's. Its going to be 18 degree's celcious tomorrow which is probably 80 or 90 farenheit.
so yea step by step would be great.
oh and btw its not because you can 540 on a tramp and on the ground that you can do it on jump its not the same thing at all but good luck mang!
works for me and i never get hurt...
of course i knwo i need to do a reg 5 first beofre attempting a flat 5. im pretty sure i said that in my initial post. Im just building up to it, like its one of my goals for this year. Im going to start trying some 5's right away this season so i can build up and start adding variations to it. And although doing things on tramps is not the same as on jumps it does help with air sense and knowing the motions of the spin. Like im not saying " oh yea if i land a flat 5 on a tramp im set for the snow for sure" i just want to get the motion's right. so i know how to set the trick and what it feels like.
same goes for everyother trick.
the best way i can say to do a flat 5, is set your rotation, and at about 90 degrees, huck for a backflip. you wont end up going invert and you will see your landing instantly and be able to see where you need to go and know where you are. you feet will just fall down underneathyou if you set your rotation right
thats about as easy as i can describe it. they took my a real long time to get down.
make's sense to me. I just had to read step 3 over twice. Thanks alot man.
and so symms has a trick tip in freeskier's buyer guide??
its pretty straight forward. just imagine the axis in your head and jump and kick your feet out from under you and lean back like that fat joe song.
For skiing I'd say learn at least 7's first just in case you overrotate, then get some lincolns, and then get some backs, then just go for it. I learned rodeo/flat 5's without backs though so you could just cut out the backs if you want cause there gay anyways.
step 1: do a rodeo 5.
Step 2: make it flat.
