Easiet Trick?

[Brodiekiller]

This is my second season boarding and I want to start doing some tricks. The last trip I went on last year I hungout in the board park. I just lightly popped over jumps, and rode a 50/50 on a rail. What would you say is the easiest grab to do, or any other tip of trick (besides eating snow). I have a bad lower back and tight hamstrings so I wonder if that is going to hamper being able to reach down and grab my board.

werd.. well being flexable definitly helps for doing tricks. so i suggest you start streching everyday. an as far as easyest grab i'd say indy. thats rite inbetween your two feet with your back hand grabbing the toe edge of your board...good luck.

Yeah I'll agree....an Indy is probably the easiest trick...next to 180's....my advice tho get Indy's and then throw in 180's it looks alot better than just an Indy

yea, indy is the easist. just mess around off the bottom side of a kicker, the trick to progression is to learn all of your tricks on a small scale, and then take them to bigger things. aka nose press a small rail, then take it to somewhere else later u know. learn backside 180's low, off the ground, over the side of small kickers.

take some yoga classes...

then just start learning to jump higher and higher... then incorporate spins and start to progress

Ummm... Id have say a 900 triple b-flip yo.

If you do Indy, be careful, doing too often makes you look newbie

Hm..I forget, Indy is with your backhand and a Mute is with the front, right?

Ok most people will say that an indy is the easiest trick, but if you have problems reaching down that far i suggest, that you try Shiftys to start, if you need a clue, when you get air twist the lower part of your body and not the top, the more twist the better. Doing this is a good way into getting into spins and wont make you look like a newbie!
