Ak49_rider Posts : 8 OFFLINE	Posted on Jan 04, 2007 Do you think they look cool? how long did it take you to learn? Personally i think they are easier to land, then threes....but iono that might just be me..... And it took me a day and a half to learn....considering i only snowboarded for like 3 hours each of the days

Stewart_H Posts : 1232 OFFLINE	Posted on Jan 04, 2007 Thats cool.. i don't think they look that hard or technical. Can;t do them myself, never tried and doubt i will. If you could do a wildcat i'de be impressed.

palidon11 "Best Newbie" Posts : 2650 ONLINE	Posted on Jan 04, 2007 they look fun as hell, but i will never try one on this wisconsin ice. maybe when i go west.

burfieldrider Posts : 520 ONLINE	Posted on Jan 04, 2007 iv done front flips (not on purpose mind you) they where fun

stokage Posts : 3 OFFLINE	Posted on Jan 04, 2007 Posted by meggo ditto^^ well... maybe if i didnt suck All of you mods say that you suck, have some confedence in yourself

Ak49_rider Posts : 8 OFFLINE	Posted on Jan 04, 2007 They are alot easier than they might seem...to learn build a jump with a HUGE,STEEP lip...hit it with some speed and just lean back...and to break your fear of learn them...pile up like a foot or so of power on the other side of the jump...i can almost guarantee you wont get hurt.....I live in alaska..and it snow like 22 inches a few nights ago...so i wasnt really scared to land on my head....lol

palidon11 "Best Newbie" Posts : 2650 ONLINE	Posted on Jan 04, 2007 yeah well its different landing on ice..

DR.Blunt Posts : 242 OFFLINE	Posted on Jan 05, 2007 rodeos are easyer and look better imo..

ScottBendle Posts : 23 ONLINE	Posted on Jan 06, 2007 Back a year ago me and a friend try some at a friends little hill. Stupidest non drug influenced shit i ever did. never actually made a complete flip but i never hurt myself so i would consider trying again.

wannacomeinm... Posts : 290 ONLINE	Posted on Jan 28, 2007 iv acctualy herd from alot of people a backflip is easier than a 3. to bad im to pansy to try a back flip. and hey, i like my 3s..
	i got it from my mama

Bleezie Posts : 1292 OFFLINE	Posted on Jan 28, 2007 Posted by DR.Blunt rodeos are easyer and look better imo.. I agree with you on that one... Frontflips don't phase me, rodeos are easy... but backflips scare me. I'm afraid I'm gonna clip my head on the launch and get knocked unconscious -- then I have a long way to fall upside-down and unconcious. (Don't have to worry about that with rodeos or frontflips though. Is it a mental thing?)
	The last thing i said was important. Put it on your fridge.

wannacomeinm... Posts : 290 ONLINE	Posted on Jan 28, 2007 if yoru upsidedown and unconcious i dont think youd be feeling much on the way down. but afterwards that would suck.

Davesakiller Posts : 52 ONLINE	Posted on Jan 29, 2007 yea im thinking about trying a backflip this year. when you say speed are we talking like bommin at the jump or just like a nice crusing speed?

Mr._Steez Posts : 303 ONLINE	Posted on Feb 17, 2007 Make sure your jump is big enough because i tried one the other day off of a small jump and landed right on my head

kingofdapark7 Posts : 165 OFFLINE	Posted on Feb 18, 2007 yeah dude, triple backflips are by far the easiest trick ever. i've been working on the quad.

kingofdapark7 Posts : 165 OFFLINE	Posted on Feb 18, 2007 Posted by Mr._Steez Make sure your jump is big enough because i tried one the other day off of a small jump and landed right on my head hey, i built that jump u tried to backflip off!

MRZRFF Posts : 47 ONLINE	Posted on Jan 08, 2008 you have to be baller to do a rodeo
