im trying my first flip on snow soon, and i was wondering what to try. I can do almost any trick on the tramp that i would consider bringing to snow (cork 5. cork 7. rodeo 5. backflip, frontflip, lincoln) and i was wondering which one is the easiest to bring to the snow. thanks.

flat 3's are really easy to do. if you commit the flip will come about really easily.

Im thinking of trying a flip for the first time too, if we ever get any snow on the east coast i wana try in on pow first unless i can find somewhere down south with an airbag, i wouldnt go strait from the tramp to a park jump unless its a powder day

Frontflip is easier to commit to.
Backflip is easier to land.
Loops may be nice because you can spot your landing the whole way.

Imma say try a frontflip. Because I am 100% sure you will commit to it. So you wont land on your head. You may not commit to backflips on the first time.

My first was the Lincoln loop, it all comes down to what you're most comfortable committing to

Front flip is harder but less scary Backie is easier but super scary Lincons are super easy and low risk Rodeos are super hard and you should know lincons and backflips first Corks are just hard

Kickflips are pretty easy...

1) Don't say flip tricks, this isn't skateboarding.

2)Stop making these stupid fucking threads.

Whichever trick is easiest on the trampoline... is the one you should bring to the snow.

i learned lincolns, underflips/rodeo 5s, then backflips and backs are by far the easiest
comes around waaaaayyyy easier than a 3
just don't over shoot

i would say lincoln loop. you can spot the whole way around, the trick is to just pop into it, not just buck sideways.

that being said backflips are easy as well, and rodeos come around so clean.

I really like backflips. Its not hard once you commit, and you can really work on a cool laid-out style in a simple trick. I think its the most stylish simple trick out there.

cork 7 is the easiest cork. if you want to do a rodeo learn a flat 3 first because it usually ends up being an underflip if you don't learn to flat 3. a frontflip is the easiest to land but getting the right pop can be hard. Lincolns are just overall easy and you can land on your side and not catch your tips like you would a backflip.

backflip and frontflip are the easiest fliptricks to do! its easiest to do backflips if the jump got much pop.

I just learned fronts. There probably the easiest to commit to. I plan on getting a lincoln tomorrow. Supposedly there pretty easy as you can see where your going the whole time. Also from what I've heard, back-flips are the easiest to get around.

fronts. tbh they dont even hurt that bad when you dont commit (i know from experience) and its pretty tough to hurt yourself really bad. Backflips are easier but scarier, rodeos are just plain weird if youve never done a backwards rotation before.

Backflips and misty 5s are the easiest. Misty 5s come to your feet every time.
