so im gonna try a backflip tomorrow and i know there are a lot of threads about this but couldn't find what i was looking for. Are there any major/super necessary steps while doing a backflip that will help? Do i need to pop a lot? Lay it out first try or tuck the whole way first try?
 
I'm trying one tomorrow also, would like to know the same. Only thing I can help with is to get pumped! I always huck my meet more when I'm pumped to be there.
 
Biggest thing is commit if you do that you will most likely stomp the fuck outta it. Side hits work wonders because of how poppy theyre but a 10-15ft poppy park jump would do just fine. When coming in for it dont uave any second thoughts. When setting it make sure to pop and set it it may seem scary at first but try to really spot your landing as soon as you can. Think of it like you're holding a beach ball in your hands infront of your hips when popping pretend you're throwing it over your head behind you. I would probably tuck my first one depending on the jump size but it should happen slightly naturally. You may over rotate it on your first one if you throw to hard but I wouldn't worry about this to much i would rather over rotate than catch my tips. I'll look for the thread explaining them way better if i can find it ill link it for sure. Sorry for shitty grammar I blame it on mobile haha

thanks man ill try that beach ball thing it sounds like itll work
 
Good luck! I was terrified before my first one because i was going through all the things that could go wrong in my head but as long as you commit and throw it hard and tuck worst case is that you end up "wheelying" after it and falling on your butt
