Recently learned to 5, how much harder are 7's?

You'll have problems landing backseat initially. I know I did when I went from 5's to 7's. If you can't get over landing backseat try just going for a 9, they can be easier to land sometimes, depending on the jump.
 
Took me about 10 tries to land 5s, and 3 to land a decent 7. Backseat/washing out was a problem at first, but once you learn to lean into your boot tounge off the lip (subconcious - dont try to do this youll die) it comes right around like nothing.
 
my first 7 was actually me trying to 5 and forgetting to spot my landing and just stomping it at 7
 
Hahah! This. But really. If in your head you are going to do a 5 then whip around to a 7. It will be hard go into it telling yourself you are gonna do a 7. Otherwise you will stop your rotation at 5. I had this problem for a long time. But really they are super easy.
 
I always found tricks landing switch easy to learn, and ones forward way harder. 5 to 7 was hard, 7 to 9 was easy, switch 5 to switch 7 was easy, switch 7 to switch 9 hard... But what do I know, apparently I'm oldschool.
 
Did you by any chance do aggressive inline before you started learning them? Because from what i've heard and from my little experience it's much easier and safer to land switch in inline, so you might be used to that.
 
so much this, also to the comment above me, no i didnt inline, just raced, which seems odd

well a 5 and a 7 are totally different. one you only really spin one and the other you spin twice. like a 3 and a 5 are basically the same but a 5 and a 7 are not.
 
do like 6 5s on the same jump with a grab in a day. if you pretty much stomp all the 5's you wont have a problem taking it to 7 on the same jump as long as you commit. also with 7s, try not to open up too early and land backseat, you will have time to finish the spin if you are committed to it.
 
Are you doing your 5's with grabs? If not, try to get your 5s with a simple tail or blunt grab. Once you have those down, just keep holding the grab at 540 and you will whip right around into a 7. At least that's what helped me...
 
Once you've passed 36's, you logically understand how not to stop a rotation. I learnt with 5's and later in the same day I was doing 7's. The main thing i'd say is that spinning hard on small jump is way harder.
 
Depends on how you do you rodeo 5s. The flatter you get your fives the easier it turns to seven. The more you set it over you shoulder and look for the landing right off the start the flatter they will be

Get a few good fives, and then get a good pop and set the rodeo 5 a bit faster and keep looking.

So not much harder, but if your doing more of a flip then it might be more difficult
 
Legit advice, not what he was looking for. Landing switch is also easier for me, the 360->540 is easier than the 540->720 learning curve for me.

Set your spin a little harder than you would for a 540, keep your head and shoulders committed and your feet will come follow. Don't open up at 5 but keep your head over and start spotting for the landing and stomp the shit out of it.
 
For me personally a 5 is a 3 thrown a bit harder, where a 7 is actually two 3s put together to create a whole new trick. Now, learning a 7 is no easy task, you must have suspenders for your pants and size 26.5 boots in order to properly bangarang the orangutan. Good luck Timothy.
 
I can do 5's but I tried a 7 once and idk why but i just whipped it so hard that i came off balance and had to slow down my spin mid air, and ended up underspinning it and landed like sideways and ate shit. Now it's hard for me to do 5's because whenever i have to spin harder than a 3 i get off axis.
 
well i dont know about everyone else, but when i learned, my first thought was which jump to do it off of. I wanted to to it off the smallest jump in the park (5-10) but my friend said it would be easy to just do it off a big jump, so he convinced me to do it off the biggest jump (35-40) because it will be easy to stall out and be in control. he explained that once you can do it off big jumps, downsizing is easy, where sizing up is a lot scarier because of the possible risk. well long story short, it was the second to last run of the day and he said, ok stop being a baby and do it. landed first time first try and didnt even hand touch easier than learning a 3 swear to god. just continually look over the leading shoulder and DO NOT open up. take it to a bigger jump and it will be easier. but honestly the single most important thing for learning any new trick is to want it enough and COMMIT
 
i wouldnt say they're much harder than a five. I took a few tries to get a 5 down but got 7's first try. its all commitment.
