Behind the back for me. I have short arms and all I can do is a 1 inch eli hop.

Marcus Koh does horizontal behind the back…so…that is hardest, hehe.

My friend Kevin does crazy behind the back horizontal but i would say behind the back because horizontal is just different one you get used to it its not too hard

Well it’s obviously behind the back.

  • you can’t see fully what you are doing
  • your arms don’t work that well behind you
  • moves are somewhat reversed from front side.

At least w/side style you can mostly see what you are doing.

Definatly behind the back

I can never land behind the back tricks… It may be because I’m fat and that restricts me a bit lol…

I can do a little bit of horizontal play… So I’d say behind the back is harder

That is an answer only you can answer honestly. Try them both and see what happens. You’ll figure it out.

Doing off-axis [‘horizontal’] tricks behind the back.

Horizontal behind the back inverted.

I can’t even imagine…

DavidRH - by sideways do you mean side style or horizontal?

14

Oh sorry, I think I meant to say horizontal. But if I’m wrong at that too then I’m talking about whatever Paul Kerbel does.

It’s a trick.

Taking a trick and just trying to do it behind you back would be harder.

Taking a trick and just trying it sideways would be harder.

If you learn it where you display it, I don’t see why its harder at all. It’s just another trick.
