How to Backflip Cliffs

My goal this season is to flip a decent sized cliff, as big as I need to safely get one around. I learned flips last year and feel like I have them on lock at this point, I flipped a bunch of different decent sized sketchy hits with the most notable one being the hot dogger at Alta (the small side) which is a super mellow takeoff. What do I need to be aware of when trying to flip a cliff and what are the steps to progression I should take? Anyone at Alta know any hits that would be good for a first attempt? Thanks
 
Find something with at least a flat takeoff to start and go fast. I recommend at least a 10-15 footer and speed should get you there. Make sure to pop harder than you do off a kicker
 
Ive never been good at em but mad respect. Never tried kne on skies. Wonder if themore gainer motion woukd be easier or similar to snowboarding. Everyone lives a good backflip cliff huck.
 
Own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.

There is a surprising amount of historical weapons knowledge here...
 
make sure the cliff you choose has at least a flat take off (preferably some sort of incline if possible) then huck with your hips up and out and push your hips out the whole rotation. very similar huck as doing a gainer cliff jumping, you'll just need to be going faster than you normally would and huck harder

Just huck your meat off early season diving board and see what happens

I second this.

As others have said, no pop is going to make it feel like a gainer and unless you just want to throw it around 20 feet is probably a good starting spot.

I pledge aligence to the flag.
 
Yeah when you're flipping a cliff under 20ft its hella nice to have a bit of a lip, depending how steep the landing is, you can easily side step some snow for that. Even if it doesn't make a difference the hit is gonna look a lot less scary with a at least a bit of a lip than a downhill takeoff.

Late to the game but the Supreme power line cliffs has one with a bit of a lip and the Gunsight gully cliff could also be great!

Yep I was over at he power line cliffs last Monday, if there's another deep day I'll pack in a lip and chuck one
