Strapless Backroll, Frontroll, Backspin or Frontspin?

[turfAndsurf]

Which strapless trick is easier to start with? Backroll, Frontroll, Backspin or Frontspin? I already can do a strapless jump.

I would say easiest is probably grabbed backroll followed by no-grab backroll.
What do you mean with backspin/fontspin?

You can also try what I call "wrong hand forward". Not sure if it's a common trick, but I came up with a way to do a sent kite jump without a transition, downloop, or crazy horse - starting and finishing the jump riding in the same direction. It helps to have a sliding stopper on your chicken loop line, but not mandatory.

Trick described while riding goofy foot (right foot forward, starboard etc.)

- with some speed, send your kite to 12,and at the same time with your right hand, grab the heel side rail as you lift off.
- as you near the peak of your jump, move your left hand on the left side of the bar, to the right side of the bar and redirect your kite forward.
- put your board under your feet, spot your landing and ride away.

Pic - not a textbook landing by any means, but the point is im landing with my left hand on the right side of the bar. Cheers and have fun !!

This is what I mean by frontspin https://youtu.be/mMg39JpP2CI vs. the frontroll https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88ERO7qorqA

Thats the same trick. You dont have to go all Toby on the tricknames. Just call it a front rotation And its really difficult without straps
I would suggest you start out with a grabbed backroll over a kicker, grabbing the board heelside with your front hand

Sounds good, I appreciate the advice. I will give a try.

front/back rolls are inverted tricks, if youre not inverted it's just a fs/bs 360
