back flip...

[DevoEXLR8]

me and a friend just built a nice jump in his backyard..more of a spinning jump..not to much pop. plus, as you all probably know, new england including upstate NY just got hammered so with the fresh 30' i figured i'd try anything. i've done back flips off of diving boards etc., but what should i know to do them on skis.

Thanks,

Devo

huck like a motha, head back, hips forward, they're real easy

my intire crew waited for his ass at the bottem of the hill and beat the shit out of him. i broke his poles agianst a tree, and we snapped one of his skis. fucker got uppercutted so much. he was bleeding from his eyes and shit, crying like a little pussy. i busted out a body slam on his ass and broke both of his arms. the ski patroler broke up the fight and clipped all of our tickets. we where gonna beat the shit out of the patroller but my mom came to pick us up.

just try it, i garenty you that the worst that will happen is you land on your gut or knees.

or head....

pop with your legs is key, dont just huck it back it wont work, sort of pop jumping up and back thrust with your hips.. good luck

What the hell were they doing with a car on the moon?... havent they gone far enough?

just pop, stick your head back, spot your landing, rotate your body, booom easy

Worst thing you can do is put too much thought into it... just go for it. If you do them off diving boards then you know how its done, just pop and throw your upper body back (might help to swing the arms), tuck in your knees and pull your legs and skis up and around, and very important: look back with your head! If you commit with your head and keep looking back, your body will follow. And if the jump has a good lip and you come in with decent speed, don't worry about under-rotating it... you'll be scared so you'll over-rotate like a mother, which doesn't hurt too bad when you land on your back. Good luck my brother... and don't worry. Once you rotate it the first time, you'll realize how easy it is, and start hucking them like crazy everywhere.

they feel identicle in my opinion to throwing gainers in the pool, well nearly, the only major diff is the speed and forward momentum. Just try one and you'll see how easy they really are.

I like to ski

Heres all u need to remember. pop off the lip. throw your hands back behind your head. bring your knees to your chest and arch your back to spot the landing.

----now i lay me down to sleep, blah blah blah my soul to keep, if i die before i wake ill go to hell for heavons sake.

 

[XxlineguyxX]

what jump should i try it off of a jib or a regular jump/

 

[SwitchMisty540]

a jib??? throw it off a descent size jump with a nice lip. the more straight up the lip the better.

 

[linejibber3]

biuld one with a decent, smooth lip. then hit it and push the back of your head against your back, and try to pull your skis into view without moving your head off your back. also, huck with your arms, and tuck, it will make you flip faster

 

[Airspeed-X]

I am going to try the same..

Is it easier doin backflips off tables or the pipe?? Plus, whats the min amount of air you need? 7 - 10' ?? Thanks
