start the rotation later?

Step Up
with a mulch landing, pretty much the best thing after a foam pit.
apart from a resi ramp. now why does no where (that i know of) have a step up resi?

mulch/sand/ soft dirt landings are all better than resi i think, they all hurt far less to fall onto and you dont get resi burns from them Blank Stare

i know what you mean but then again i reckon you could take more slams on a resi because hitting the deck hard dosnt usualy hurt as much.

Try going faster and landing farther down the bank (giving you more time) but other then that you'll just have to spin faster its the same as 3ing on flat just easier.

pull up really slowly and tuck up.

No hander, no footer, nothing, tabletop, tuck no hander, barspin. Lotsa stuff you can learn. Oh and of course whips that's more style though but everyone appreciates a nice whip! Got my whip's fully sideways today!

tbogs, nacs, tire grabs, tuck nos, seat grabs(on the back). pretty much any simple trick that looks badass if you do it BIG. then 360s once you feel comfy enough to do that

i wouldnt consider barspins a beginner trick. some people pick them up really quick others take a lot longer.

nor are nothings a begginer trick, to be honest if your really just starting on stuff things like one handers, no footers x-ups, t-bogs and tire grabs are the things to learn first. and tables and whips/kickouts.

Yeah i probably shouldn't have recommended barspins on second thought, i never though of it as a hard trick because I used to ride street and park before DJ and so the transfer was easy for me. As for nothings, I dunno why that can't be called a begginer trick...I may not be experienced because I've only learned them like a month ago but i've always been told that getting off and on your bike is essential to learning tricks later.
