BACKFLIPS

[paulbunyan]

this might be a pointless post but theres a video and comments said backflips are easyer than 3s! this can not be true?!? is it?

 

[max.]

why is this in nsg and ya backflips prbly are easier just take more balls

 

[[Toby]]

yes i would say thats true.

once you try it you will realize it, backflips are so easy its unbeleivable

 

[paulbunyan]

how is it easy at all?

 

[[Toby]]

all you do is lean back, its way more natural than spinning

 

[paulbunyan]

but how do you judge how fast you flip or how slow you flip

 

[Krush]

meh, i dont think there easier than 3's but they are way easier than they look

just lean back and look for the ground and your body does the rest if your calm.

im not sure im not all that great at backflips, just try in powder

my first time i thought i wasnt even going to make it around so i didnt even try to land it but i landed on my skis anyways

i would say just do it in pow and throw back as hard as you can

 

[paulbunyan]

good thing i only have to wait a long time for powder! aw i cant wait for skiing!

 

[[Toby]]

it helps but isnt required for you to be good at throwing them on tramps

i can do them without jumping on trampolines

Once you get half way, your body pretty much just follows up on it, all you have to do is lean back and keep your head back, don't twist it, or you'll spin.

eh I would say that hucking a back is about the same as hucking a 360. But It's MUCH easier to just throw a slow, big backflip, technically. You just have to get over the inversion factor. You have to worry about the tucking up of the legs and the twisting of shoulders and such while doing the big 360.

So to all: yes, backflips are easier off big jumps while 3's are easier off smaller ones.

 

[SirFryanator]

in my opinion.

 

[paulbunyan]

i can throw high floated backs does that work??

 

[paulbunyan]

that makes sense i guess

 

[[Toby]]

i guess,as long as your not scared of going inverted

just trying doing them without jumping and then try doing them as high as possible, it will just help you once your on snow

 

[paulbunyan]

sounds good thanks

backflips are easier than 360s, damnit. my friends think im dumb when i tell them that and they make fun of me.

 

[holyDINOSAURS]

way easier

 

[Tinga]

theyre easier to do just hard to get the balls enough to try one

 

[EVAN.F]

i think its way easier to misjudge and over/under rotate on a backflip though

yeah alot of people either get their tips ice picked to the ground or they take the back seat when theyre learning
