Osiris if you've hit it properly. The thing you mentioned as "clipper stall to clipper kick to butterfly stall to toe stall to around the world" is called a string because it's a number of consecutive tricks. However, even if its the only string you've ever hit, I still think Osiris is harder.

Try clipper > clipper > clipper > clipper as much as you can. Then learn mirages and pdx mirages.

Osiris is flying osis, Ben.

I would need some video clarification of that, CD. :wink:

Also, props on clipper kick > opp. butterfly. Pretty nifty concept if used in mid-string. I recommend Sergey's advice without a doubt in my mind; train on clipper both sides until you get it dialed, and then work on miraging moves.

edit: Checked your vid in the Videos section. I would need better video evidence of you hitting osiris. :?
edit2: Drill on the basics before attempting anything else.

Osiris, but don't worry about which of your tricks are hardest, difficulty is relative for everyone.

Instead, I suggest considering how many tricks you can hit, how can you link them together into strings of tricks, and how consistent they are.
