First invert

[Jackdclark]

What would be a good first invert to try?

 

[BChaps1209]

backflip. or maybe flat3/5 if you're comfortable with them on a tramp

 

[Jackdclark]

i was thinking flat 3 but I didn't know if anything else was easier

It should be whatever you are most comfortable on the tramp or whatever you are most comfortable committing with. I've tried sideflips on a jump that was way too small but it wasn't scary at all.

 

[Jackdclark]

I have sideslips down i just didn't know how it would work on a jump.

[Plankton]

flat 3

 

[davd]

backflip - just commit

 

[shwesoni]

flat 3/5 or a straight backflip

 

[johnnyBuz]

maybe i'm retarded but i'm pretty sure a flatspin is a flatspin because you are NOT INVERTED

probs a backie. ive tried them into this powder landing (we piled like 2 feet) landed on my head and was fine

dont try frontflips on skis.

 

[Craigskis]

With kick or without is the question

With kick front/back or back180

without switch back

Backie for sure, sounds scarier, but it is a whole lot easier to spot your landing.

Back flip is the best to learn first. Before you try it on snow make sure your really comfortable with the particular jump your trying it on so you know how hard to throw it. After that learn flat 3's. I had major problems with flat 3's over the summer, but finally figured out that i was doing them completely wrong. Anyways those are probably the 2 easiest to learn. Good luck!

A sideflip, or Lincoln loop (aka lencon) is done by leaning hella far forward and popping hard off the lip. Also when you put your ear to your shoulder try to have it more forward than backwards, that sort of helps you land more forward. But even though I tried Lincolns first on skis I think a backflip is easier to bring around than a Lincoln, but just a little scarier to try
