FS air VS BS air

[Squapper]

Whats with the FS airs? It seams like everyone prefers them before BS airs. I find BS airs both easier and more stylish than frontsides...

:/

I can't air in either direction! The closest I get is early-grab hops at the top of the walls in some ditches, those are easier backside for me.

I agree, backside airs are much more stylish, but something about being face down while airing makes me freak out and bail. I can air stuff front side or I can ollie a hip backside but no backside airs for me. I just can't do them.

i prefer frontside cause i can see the coping. backside i worry about hanging up. ilke ollie to fakies better than backside airs for the same reason

i've always felt like it's easier to learn airs backside, but it's easier to launch big airs frontside.

If you can't see the coping while in the air backside, then you're not high enough.

I always found it easier to rotate frontside. Ollies or grab airs have always been easier for me frontside but backside stuff just looks so hot.
