Ok so I`ve heard of people that smacked their heads on the lip of jumps doing backflips.

This scares me.

How many people here have actually hit their head doing backflips?

What should you do to avoid it?

Thanks

it was all good. in fact he was so scared of trying a b flip that he didnt even notice he hit it until everyone told him
 
does it take alot of air to do one?! cause ive wanted to try it to and i can do them on tramps!
 
I went to one of those ski water jump places this summer and tried my first backflip with skis on and it wasn`t all that different but yeah you need good amount of air when you are trying it for the first time

fuck, i lose, pic didnt post

but basically you just sack up find a kicky jump and be a man, you got to really fuck up to hit your head
 
I got about six feet of air on my first backflip with about 5 feet of vertical. and I came nowhere near to hitting my head.
 
dude, theyre super easy. just get to the lip and give it a god pop and you should be fine. theyre easier than 360s

 
Smacking your head on the back of the jump happens when you are all butter and no pop. If you lean way back, when your tails release you have zero control over the rate of your flip. Best advice I ever got was fuck the sky. Throw your hips up to the sky. Other good motto is, "Look for the ground; you'll get around. Look at the sky; you're going to die"!

When you extreme tail butter a backflip, you will not be able to stop your rotation and you are likely to do a one and a half even if you don't smack your head. It's just not a good way to do a backflip. Remember to pop and look for your landing and life will be good.

I recommend trying it somewhere where you have a powder landing first. If you don't have powder; break up the landing 12 to 18 inches deep so that if you over rotate, you won't wreck yourself too bad. Also, your pop should be the same as if you were doing it on a tramp.
 
i was going to ask why you're drinking vodka at 1130, but then i saw that you're in germany. so i guess that makes sense regardless of what time it is
 
it was a complete shot in the dark. he looks slightly middle-eastern, and giray was the first name that came to my mind
