if you feel too small, get a smaller board.

it CAN affect how many stairs or how high you can get with an ollie and such, though.

yeah you should be fine. if youre having a lot of trouble, start lifting with your legs a bit. nothing major at all its just that a mini might be too small but a 7.5 might be too big so getting more muscle would help pop tricks better

if you are having a problem with the rotation, put your front foot lower on the board. this will help you tossing the board in front of you..

nah man u just gotta practice, 360 flips are just one of those tricks that u gotta put a bit of work into to learn but yeah if u arent already riding on a smaller board i would switch to one as soon as u get a chance, it will help u with other tricks too

As long as you jump high enough and flip your board quickly(like it should), you should be able to land them just fine.
