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.

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.
