Anything different about setting 7's compared to 3's or 5's? Thinking about trying one this weekend but I'm scared I'll over or under rotate.
 
They aren't too different, if youre used to doing 3s then coming around on the last 180 or so (from 5 to 7) will feel familiar. Do it on a big enough jump though.
 
One thing that you may find while learning 7's is that you end up in the back seat when landing! To prevent that I recommend focusing on having a very even pop off the lip of the jump making sure your body is centered. If you do end up back seat when you land pushing your hands to your tips will keep you from backslapping!

Will do. I always landed backseat when learning 3's, I don't want to go through all that shin bang again.

If you over or under rotate it's easy to just make it a 5 or a 9 lol, you'll know in the air what to do.

Until he takes half of the advice put out for him and blindly lands sideways.
 
When I was trying to get them locked, I always used 5s as a safety net. Goodluck, doubt you will need it though!
 
Make sure to commit 100% and I highly doubt you will over rotate your first 7. It doesnt need to be off a big jump, i did my first one on a jump that you only go about 8 feet in distance and 3 feet up so anything bigger than that is good too but dont go smaller. If you land 630 first try then try it again and you will probably stomp it.

If you over rotate, tweak your legs to bring it around to a 900. Under rotating is no biggie, just prepare your legs for the impact. If you know how to spot your landing you shouldnt have to worry about either.
 
you might under rotate your first attempt but i probably wont hurt that bad and then you can adjust your self different for the next attempt, trial and error.

Idk, my first attempt I had to hold it at 7 and still almost went 9. Really depends on how big of a jump you take it to. Just go up to a big comfy jump and set it like a 5 on a smaller jump, comes around easy.

yeah i broke my collar bone and wrist doing a 3 to flat so I probably shouldn't be giving advice on just throwing it
