so i have yet to learn anything besides a 180 and even those are on little kickers on the side of the trail or just on flat because i am to scared to try them on the 15 foot table. I am wondering however, when learning 3s, should i learn on a small kicker or on a small 10 ft table or what.

do whatever you feel comfortable doing. personally if find larger jumps easier to learn on but if you let the size of the jump psych you out it would be best to learn on kickers on the sides of trails. again its whatever you feel best doing.

If you can make yourself take it big, do it, its so much less frustrating.

It really depends how comfortable you are on spinning... I can do them on small jumps like 5 ft. tables but I can also do them off little bumps on the side of trails - you just gotta spin faster on smaller jumps. But for me personally, I learned it off a 3ft table and stomped it my first time. Just gotta go for it.
