it snowed over 2 feet this week...i've been skiing for 10 years and i finally wanna try a backflip....anybody got any tips, other than the trampoline?
 
easiest trick. coming up to the jump get low and stacked. at the end of the lip pop lightly, lean your head back as far as you can, this will arch your back and control your rotation. Just keep looking back as far as you can the the rotation will keep coming around. COMMIT my first backflip I was scared and I fagged and I landed on my head. It's such an easy trick if you just commit to the rotation, remeber overrotating is better than underrotating.

Don't worry about the size of the jump I can throw a backflip off like a 2 foot high jump, youll get it around if you commit. If you know your going to fuck up, bail on your side it hurts less.

good luck
 
Haha yea dont think you need a big jump cause you dont. As long as there is room to get your head around without it scraping on the ground youll be fine. Such an easy trick and a huge crowd pleaser.
 
make sure you tuck for 2 if your not commited enough, that and bomb the jump so you will obviously overshoot
 
just commit, my first attempt i didnt and landed on my face, second i threw it too hard and landed on my back, third i stuck it
 
If I were you I would go to a pool and try some flips into that, dont be a dumbass and hit your head on the side of the pool, then when your confident enough, try it with just some shoes off a two or three foot drop into some pow, it helps a lot if you can do a flip with out your gear. Be sure to check the landing zone really good too before you try it for real.
 
I learned them at the pool tonight. They're pretty easy, but I wanna do one into a pile of snow first before I throw one on skis.
 
ive done 12 backflips this year.. no problems .. just what they said above^ ut spread your legfs as wide as [ossible and smack your ass,.
 
just like mentioned above, commit. think about bending your head so far back that you are trying to kiss your own ass. then when you spot the landing let it come around and you'll be fine. if you dont bend backwards for the whole rotation then you are fucked. just remember to keep looking around.
 
When you try it in the pool, do you face the water or have your back to the water, I can do like cork 7's of a high dive or frotn flips but im scared of hitting my head on the board, maybe I should wear a helmet
 
it depends if ur gonna be jumping off diving board jump facing forward i can double back facing forward off 15 feet high
 
backs scare me for some reason, I can do them on a tramp and diving board o prob jsut skiing scares me. Ive been doingfronts and misties for 4 years, and im kinda sick of them, maybe Ill grow some balls and go for it, Im sure i can do them no prob.
