Dial both way spins, flat 3, rodeo 5, cork 7s. Honestly it's just about what your comfortable with. Backflips are such confidence builders, after having backys, inverts and corks are a lot less scary to huck.

5 minutes after I learned backflips I took my confidence and threw my first flat spins and attempted rodeos.

underflips/super corked 5s cause theyre dope and it's basically just adding a 180 to your flip

rodeos, flats

You can either dial in the tricks you already know, work on the fundementals and make sure you can stomp a backie whenever you want. Or you can crash a ton trying some corks/rodeos. Its hard to say which way will progress faster overall

rodeos. They are way easier than you think and they are super fun.

I've back flipped and I've never 360ed. Gonna be superb sending conditions this weekend though so I may have to get both down.

flatspins/rodeos (learn decent upright spins before that though if you can't do them) then I would go to switch spins/corks/rodeos. you'll hate yourself if you never learn how to do shit switch.
