i think flats is easier, and if you skateboard- i'd go with whichever way is easier for u on that

I learnt fs first and bs took me way longer too learn. Just try both and go with what feels best. Keep at em and you will get them eventually

rwakeboarder, make sure you flatten out before.

I learned fs first, but that's how I learned on a skateboard, do shuvs on the tramp to help or just skate better Wink

I learned BS, tried one FS and hated it, one year later decided to try them and landed it like 3rd try. I still hate front shuvs because they are so awkward to pop.

TAD, ya the first few times i tried a shuv it was fs and i hated it 2. now all i try is bs.
