hey guys iv been thicking about doining a back flip for quite some time now but before i do it id sure like sum pointers form some guys who can do them with ease, so i dont srew up and fuck my self up.im gonna do it off a regular black park kick

cheers

 
don't be stupid. commit. if you take in enough speed and commit, you'll be fine. So many people just throw themselves backwards and hope for the best, make it about a third of the way around and start flailing and try to pull out of it. You got to work yourself up to it, and then just ride in and do it, and know you're going to do it. If you do that, you'll probably overrotate first try, but that's way better than underrotating.

Things to think about: pop hard off the lip, set the flip with your upper body and especially with your HEAD. If you commit with your head, leaning back and looking for that landing, you'll commit with your body. Once you set that rotation you have to bring your feet and legs up and around... you'll feel it.

And trust me.... once you throw it the first time, you'll wonder what the big deal was. easier than a 360.

ive never done them on skis but i was scaered to do them on trampolines and one day i just said im going to do it so i did it and i dident land cuz im fat. But i made the full rotation and it was way easyer thab i though it was but its prolly difrent then on skis

 
Yeah, kamikaze got it right. The most important thing to remember is keep your head back, looking for the landing. I saw this one kid try a back flip, he got half way around and brought his head forward. He dove straight into the ground. Luckily it was soft.

Screw saving money, I want instant gratification now!

its all about commitment, if your not ready to commit, dont even think about hucking them. backflips are easier than 360's tho.

if people dont like what ive created, fuck em, because somebody else does-TANNER

If I can do backs easier than 360s, is it gonna be kinda easy? I mean, if I jump a little too close to the side of the trampoline I jump a backflip back to the middle.

I mean, they are as easy on tramp as are 180 to me

theyre easier to learn than 3s, most people stick them 2nd or 3rd try, but they are much higher consequence seeing as they are the inverted trick with the most death time, that is, time that you land on your head

O yes, you can ski backcountry is syracuse ny

Hmm.. I've only tried theese 3 times off a pretty small jump to flat. I've been told to arch your back and just look back. First time I almost got it, second time I nailed by back/head off the jump, and my last time I stopped upside down and came down on my head.

 
Easiest thing in the world, just mentally challenging. But theyre easier then just about anything you can think of if you just get some balls and commit

pop hard....head back..always be looking for your landing...point your toes..oh ya

COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!! COMMIT!!!

 
its all about the comitment there really easy after a few trys but unlike what Concept said do not arch ur back it may seam like that would b the right thing to do but if you do that youl not be able to bring your legs back under you unless your really lucky or you got backs down like nothenelse just pop off the lip hard leanback hard you can throw your arms if u want but it doesnt do anything for you but right after you pop off the lip bring your legs to your chest like your doing an in air situp or somethen for the fastest rotation if ya do it right you should be landing them on your second or third try or thats the way it is for most ppl

As everybody in this thread so far has said, commit. My first backflip I didn't commit to at all cause I was peer pressured into it. I landed directly on my head and was out for weeks. Just keep looking and don't be thinking of what could go wrong when you go for it.

Girls don't like sensitive guys. Since I don't treat women like objects, I have to treat objects like women.

 
i really want to do one. i have them locked on tramps and diving boards and stuff. i know as long as I commit i could probably land one first try but whenever I start thinking about it i get nervous about dying and shit. i'm just going to have to say fuck it and make myself commit and it should work out. unfortunately my mountain never had a jump that wasn't solid ice this season, so i'll have to wait until next year.

Yeah they're easier than 360's! if you don't land a 360, you fall down and get up and do it again, if you fuck up a backflip badly, you've just gotten yourself a broken neck!

so yeah, commit...definately commit

break it down...hard
 
wait for powerd and huck yourself and committ...get lots of air too
