don't do what I did.

Dont do it on a shitty sketchy jump if possible. As we go into spring a well built park jump with a slushy landing might be your best bet

Thanks I tried it yesterday and didn't land it but was making it around pretty easily.

Hell yeah dude, you're past the hard part already then

One thing you should keep in mind is to POP. I think a lot of people don't pop enough when learning backies and it makes it harder to get around nicely and stomp

yeah sorry i forgot to say closing your eyes really helps

Lean back and look for your landing, like really crane your neck, once you spot your landing you'll know how much you need to tuck or lay it out in order to stomp the shit out of it.

It's not hard you just have to get over the fear.

Take it from me.. I ski only around 10 days a year and I got mine last season. It also helps to be good at backflips on trampoline

Jesus christ don't listen to these fucks. What you want to do is come up the jump and pop, if you need to push your arms up and your hips forward, you will begin to rotate back, spot your landing and come out of your tuck. If you lay one out its the same idea, use your hips not head, or arms and shit. For a lay come up the jump, pop, push out hips, spot, land it and be a fucking G because you can do better B-flips than all your friends now.
