3s and 5s

[prairie_dog]

how much harder is it to land a 5 then a 3

 

[Celone]

imo its a lot easier to land a 5, because its easier to land switch than forward

 

[MN_Nice]

I think a 5 is as easy as a 5. as you come around on the 3, you can already see where you're going for the 5

I find it easier to spin more, and land backwards. Off rails I try to 180 or fakie out all the time.

lol wut

 

[sklermang]

this, and i feel like i can see the landing longer

 

[Funnel]

Yeah, for some odd reason all the stuff I land switch is much cleaner or easier for me. 5s will take a little bit of time, just make sure you keep looking and you are pretty much set.

 

[wintersway]

afterbang is so much easier when you stomp something switch.

 

[dodgey]

yeah it is. you don't even have to try really it just comes naturally

 

[a_pla5tic_bag]

haha oops, i mean 90 i guess. I just like landing backwards.

If i was doing a ski slide i could 180 off.

lol wut

 

[=FAIL=]

first real 5s i did were off a 35 footer. just keep arms/legs in and keep looking. super easy

 

[GKO]

Why would you even make a thread about this, i mean a 5 is obviously harder cause you have to spin more and land backwards.

 

[Dustin.]

Not really....I think they are easier in ways just because I can spot my landing easily and the trick just turns into a 180 at that point.

 

[GKO]

If you were about to hit a 60 ft for the first time i would imagine you would 3 it before you 5 it?

 

[DR.SHRED]

try it your self and you tell me what you think

 

[Holte]

The first real 5s I did were over an 8 footer.

 

[DR.SHRED]

me to

 

[Dustin.]

If I was about to hit a 60 footer for the first time I would straight air

But I think both are just as easy. It isn't until you have to go blind twice (like a 7) that I think it starts getting tough.

 

[i.ski.troll.]

180's are easier than 360's but 540's are easier than both. 720's are about the same as 540's and 900's are just hard.
IMO

 

[Cudder.]

its not easier to land backwards its just 10 times more fun

 

[DaveM]

i have a much easier time with 5s, and i love landing switch.. but thats just me

 

[J-Dunn]

360s took me about a year to get down smooth. IDK why but i suck at them. MY first 5 attempt i stomped like it aint not thing. I think that its easier to keeo your balence and you have more control. 7's are easy as hell to!

Off rails I try to 180 or fakie out all the time.
yes, 90 degree angle landings are always safe
