I am probably going to be learning a 540 or 720 but I am wondering which one would be easier? At first I thought it wasn't even a valid question but now im starting to think that 720s mite actually be easier. bcuz u land forward of course. Am I right? I've never tried one anyways this is all just me and my speculations

if you're on a medium/small kicker then no question. 540s. if you're on a big mama-jama. then do a 720. it'll be like the first time you saw a woman breastfeed in public. it's like a free viewing without all the pre-work.

if you've mastered your 360's, it's pretty easy to tack on the extra half a rotation as long as you've got your switch landings dialed

just do a 360 then spin your lower body an extra 180...but keep looking at your landing...the 720 is that harder because you have to get your whole body around another 360 rather than just your lower body around a 180

huh interesting question... if you feel comfortable fakie then do the five. But if you like spinning like a bitch then do the 7. Or do what I did in my younger days, just spin like mad and put your feet down hoping that you are facing either up or down the hill.

LISTEN TO TANNER HALL.. PROGRESSING TO THE HARDER TRICK LIKE A 5 IS STUPID. IF YOU CAN DO A 360 THE NEXT STEP IS AN UNNATURAL 360.

how about you do this. everyone should listen.

go get the photo annual freeskier from someone. go to phil laroses unnatural 5 saftey. read what tanner hall has to say about it. if you cant find it i'll just tell you.

everyone moves from 360''s to 5's or 7's. what about an unnatural 360. thats what you should do. be able to spin both ways until you get up to a harder spin. then you also have the weapon that you can spin both ways.

hey before you learn the 5 or 7 learn 3's natural and unatural both with grabs. I learned unatural 3s with safety grabs and they're super sick. even though half of the people that watched are like that sucked and the other half that knew it was unatural were like sick man

it really depends on how comfortable you are landing backwards. i learned 5s first. u can do 5s off a pretty small jump to start, like 20 feet. if you do a seven off a jump that small, its sorta gay and its harder. go for a 7 first and then just throw in that xtra 180 with a little more air and youre stowed.

haha, ok, the last like 3 times I went up last season, I was determined to do a 7. i had 3's dialed pretty good. so I just hucked it, and tried to spin like a slut if you will, and kept landing at 5! I could've got the 7 easy if the snow was a little better, or my wax lasted longer (no speed) they were perfect 5's too, but i don't got twins so I spent all day on my ass! anyways, my advice---go for a 7 (cause they're the funnest spin!) and if you don't have the air, just land at 5 (cause they are the coolest looking spin)

5's are much easier than 7's in my opinion. Learn a 5 first...

hahaha, no i cant do unnatural cork 5's...i was telling the kid who made this post to read the article in freeskier about the unnatural cork 5.

because pros tell kids and people learning new spins to start spinning unnatural.

just using it as an example.
