Newton's Law requires you have enough air to do inverted tricks. As Frosty said, start out with some off-axis tricks to get yourself oriented to not being inline with the pipe.Nosegrabs help with this. If you can throw 360°s then pull your nose in, lean back, kick out after have revolution and try to land backside.To totally go inverted you will really need to be able to throw 540°s with relative ease. From there you can work on McTwists and such moves.REMEMBER, you will go where your head goes. Always lead with your head and your body will follow. Being inverted doesn't allow you to “kick” your board around if you are short so make sure you have enough air to complete the trick.The reason to start off-axis… it hurts a LOT less to land on your side than on your noggin.Zelohttp://www.zelo.com<
