Well fuck you then
Just kidding. On a backflip, you want to be sure to commit fully. You'll always overotate when you sling the flip and stiffen your body in air. You want to be able to control the speed at which you come around. Approach the hit, pop and throw your body, especially your hips forward and up, your head should be all the way back and looking for the ground. Again, you don't want to be stiff, because if you threw the flip too hard, you want to be able to 'pike' or break at the waist, stalling it out and arching your back while spotting the landing. See Seth in Focused. If you throw too lightly, you are going to want to pull you legs in hard, speeding up the rotation and allowing you to land safely. As long as you commit and allow your self to be relaxed to correct yourself mid-flip if need be, you'll be fine. Do gainers off of diving boards or backs on a tramp. Take it to the snow and later start to add grabs or a tucked body position. Good luck.

i was throwing the ugliest backflips for a couple weeks until i really got the feeling down. then i could pretty much throw them off any jump with a nice cross up or a grab. then i hurt my back over rotating one and havent tried one since. the moral of the story is, no matter how much you think you have a trick dialed, it can always kick yo ass.

i was attempting one off of a hip like a month ago and i spaced out and landed on my head, i had a helmet on so it didn't hurt, my body just kind of pretseled then fell and i got up, rode off, and did it again (and didn't die)i wasn't even sore. don't worry about landing on your head if you are in pow because with a helmet, you shloud be ok.
my point is, COMMIT!!!!!!and don't close your eyes.good luck.
