Spins or inverts

Which do you think would impress a judge more (cable or boat)

A back roll or a 360 off a wake or kicker.

Don't know about cable but I think a heelside or toeside 360 (1100 pts) scores slightly higher than a heelside backroll (1050 pts) and the same as a toeside backroll.

I'm not sure if this scoring is universal but I picked that up from INT League Trick List where they have a big old listing of points per trick. I'm sure someone will jump in if this is all rubbish.

Ive been told a big clean stylish grabbed 180 can get as much as a sketchy 360

they don't award tricks points in the UK. both tricks without grabs would probably be viewed the same in a contest but it would depend how big you did them and how styley you made them look.

i'm nothing to do with anything, but in my book a 3 beats a backroll hands down. just don't do it like Jane Torvill

Yep a 360 with a bit of poke looks way better than a backroll!
