first time i tried a backflip was in the half-pipe durring a comp and i stuck the landing and fell in some crud in the pipe at teh bottum :) they are pretty easy

 
they are pretty easy, u need about 7 feet of air, throw your hips up and look back fir the landing.

T-lo
 
Make sure you commit so you dont land on your head, be 100% sure you are going to do it.

i have done them with basically no air. I just whip them really hard. Commit or you will land on your head.

I depends... jeff thomas doesn't need alot of air because he's short.. me on the other hand (6'1) has to have more air so that you donk bonk your head on the snow as you flip.. you do the math...

like everyone else said, committ, and make sure your gonna do it. Another thing is that you should try it into a soft landing, im from the east, so it was hard, but still possible. It took me awhile to learn this, but don't flip till your off the jump, then you can control yourself in the air. If you start flipping 3/4 the way up the jump, you will get around quicker, but have no control if you over roatate.

 
one time i did see a 6'7' person do a backflip. i think his name was dan wagner or wagar or something.

peace,

yeah i remember that kid, he all thought he was cool and stuff cuz he did a backflip but he was so tall he couldn't do anything w/ style. he was such a poser!

back, if u think about its just a 360, even less because if u land on a downslope...a corked 5 is harder

i think because your 13 it might be easier to do a corked 5

Backflip is the easiest inverted trick. Go for it first before you try anything harder.

when life gives you a lemon throw it at someone

Birdy Birdy in the sky, why'd you do that in my eye, I wont fret I wont cry, I'm just glad cows dont fly.
 
It`s only one way to do a BackFlipp and thats to get your ass moving:) , Make a big jump that will flipp you if you whant to or not:)

 
if you have enough air to do a 3 you can do a back. just pop off the lip and look back until you see the landing, place feet on the ground and ski away, point fingers like a gun and shoot every one around, cause you just landed your first backflip.

i was thinking you could do a backflip pretty easily if you starting doing a manual/tailpress just before leaving the lip, so you have that backwards momentum as you leave the lip.

yeah thats what alot of beginers do, they don't really do it on purpose but they start the flip so early that it loads up their tails. this definately makes you flip fast and is ok for a small jump but on a bigger jump you will overrotate for sure.

 
tail press i see....i've never heard of that before
