I need Tips please!

[Young_Zay]

Alright i have seen the other threads but does any one have a good vid on how to throw a good front or back flip?

And my second question is- How do i size ski's? this my first year and im 5'5 with 153 cm skis's. im looking for a new pair. Suggestions?

 

[Young_Zay]

Well im not terrible. i can do 3's and sometimes 5's but i just want to make sure i have the right size

 

[Travapple.]

This honestly. Learn to ski before you start park, it'll help so much.

 

[Young_Zay]

Well i still would like vid so when the time comes il have it

 

[Travapple.]

In order to properly execute a backflip, you must first learn how to use the searchbar.

 

[jibbinc.]

Practice on the trampoline first

and then its the same motion.

 

[Young_Zay]

i can do it on the tramp and ground and wall. so i got it i just got to commit i guess. what size jump should i try it on? and to the other kid there is no videos on how to do it when i used the search bar

Why didn't you just ask what size jump to try it on?

 

[Out2Pasture]

Jump, flip, and land. But really if your asking about ski length and this is your first year don't try flipping. 99% chance of getting hurt pretty bad.

 

[JsThibz]

Yeah..it's pretty much like when you do it on a tramp..it just take a little more balls to do it on a 65 foot big air...

 

[Young_Zay]

so bigger the jump the better?

 

[JsThibz]

No its not you need ball s and technique so if its your first year skiing dont try a back or front..wait a little

 

[Pinguu]

If the kid wants to try flips let him... Flips are easier than 3's and the kid can 3. I say go for it. I don't think flips get easier if you're 'better' at skiing, you still have to learn the backflip the same way... As far as ski length, I'd say about 165cm for someone who is 5'5".

i really apreciate you actaully giving me a tip and not treating me like a 5 year old . i have decided to do a punch front off a landing knuckle. thanks for the help

SOO MANY THREADS ON THIS!

FOR A VID!

[EasySteezy45]

yea what he said

 

[switchington]

good luck!

 

[[J_Gasper]]

do it on the end of the halfpipe on your mountain

 

[Young_Zay]

Todays the day! I will post a vid with my succes or failure!

 

[Sam.Carson]

size around 170 if you center mount them. and i wouldnt be doin any backflips when you dont know how to size your ski.

 

[207]

ski 163+

 

[1beestebee1]

you should probly be on 165 or 171 depending on what you like more

for a back flip hit the jump just as fast as you normally would chuck your hands and head backwards ,keep you chest open ,spot the landing early and ride away

 

[Stewie4]

not even gonna bother reading all the replies cause I bet there's a lotta hate
I'm 5'10 and I ride K2 Hellbents that are 189...which is friggen huge! My skis are 6'3 and i'm 5'10...
But I also ride 177 afterbangs for park, so those are just as tall as me
park skis - tall as you are
mountain / powpow skis - taller because of rocker design

 

[switchington]

well...how did it go?
or did you heed the warning about not going inverted when you din't know what size skis you need?

 

[Young_Zay]

my mountain changed the jump. so i have decided to wait. but im thinking about a punch front

 

[TheUngroomed]

do it on a side or backcountry jump first so you land in powder. then you dont get hurt

 

[Caleb.E]

umm i would consider looking at this...

 

[Travapple.]

orly?

 

[Dirty.Harry.]

Well if you need tips you should really get one of these first:

Then we can put them in something...
