n00b questions

ok, this is probly the sixth day i have been scootering, and i had some questions about tricks.
I can grind, 180, x-up, barspin, and kind of manual, and i was wondering what hardneess/level of difficulty are the tricks? like I know that bunnyhop and 180 would be a one, grinding, x-up, and barspin would be a two, etc... and what should I try to learn? 360s or tailwhips? I can almost do both, but when I whip, I always land on my feet before its even halfway whipped, and I'm a fast whipper lol.
thanks

i say do whatever you want. some kids choose to learn backflips before double whips flat...its all preference. so go out, ride, and try what you feel comfy with. and if you ever actually need help as to how to go about doing a trick, hit up the tricks sticky section. http://scooterresource.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?97040

It all comes hand in hand..

ok. i think i'll do the 306s first. thanks for your help guys, i just landed one, but it was one footed, and I salmed the front wheel onto my big toe, and I'm not gonna ride for 20 minutes

just keep trying the tailwhips and you will get it.

your scooter is probably new and you need to break in the headset thats why your whips aren't fast enough. just ride, do barspins and in a while your whips'll be faster. don't give up and have fun

 

[Eric Magray]

i would suggest taking apart the headset and cleaning out all that grease but since its your sixth day riding it would probably get messed up. if you feel comfortable taking apart parts on your scooter then check out the whip scooters headset cleaning tut

once you get tailwhips, you can really progress from there. its kinda like the first step, but you are off to a great start.
360's are good tho too.

Hey man, welcome to SR and our sport If you don't have any you should try to make a ramp, or go to a skatepark. It is alot easier to learn tricks on ramps. Ya like Eric said, try cleaning your headset. If you want to do the Whip Scooters method, go to www.whipscooters.com/headset You'll learn things soon enough

welcome dude. And a ramp or a gap is a good way to learn. Thats how I learned all the basics.

 

[William Biedrzycki]

I wouldnt reccomend going to skateparks until you think you're ready. You don't want to make a fool out of yourself.

[farmboy uk]

[Scooter Mcgee]

360 is harder so you will learn verrry soon

ok thanks guys. I think i broke in the headset, but it was a used scooter that got donated to me, and i modded it. its got abec 7 bearings, road bike grips, bolted foldy, bolted bars, fully gripped deck
i landed the 360 twice, once one footed, and I almost got whips. I made 2 ramps(7 inch and 2 ft.) and have 3 1 ft. ramps and two boxes to jump off of, and that helped me get some air to whip better.
