chill with the bold there buddy, you could burst a blood vessel.

The three crucial steps to learn a backflip:

1] build a nice kicker into some fluffy powpow- big enough to allow you to get around: not so big that you're gonna panic. don't try it first time in the park.

2] commit. like any spin/flip, you have to really go for it. any doubt or hesitation and you'll eat shit- believe you can do it.

3] tuck. you'll keep in control and keep the flip straight.

I would add to arch your neck to spot the landing, but to be honest the first time will be about timing- the adrenaline will make shit go blurred and you prolly won't be able to spot it...

remember- believe in yourself: when you stomp it you'll feel like the shit, claim it, go crazy, whatever. good luck!
 
Rasta is right. The first time you land a bflip you are allowed and encouraged to claim it like there's no tomorrow.
 
Thats good advice, the kid wanted help and someone was nice enough to give solid advice instead of being a dick!! If you don't like the question skip it. Don't be a dick no one wants to read your imature answers. Remeber its skiing guys
 
ya, fair point, i guess you might not have the luxury of fluffy pow all the time in the east! maybe the next best thing is a water ramp to get the feel of it then take it to snow. i really wouldn't advise someone to go for it in the park first time though, at least get it down on a tramp first.
 
yea, the important part is to commit. Don't decide that you're scared to do it at the last second.
 
huck and commit

make sure you think you can do it cause if you dont believe in yourself you might bail in the middle. bailing on a backflip is not good
 
i tried one today on the tramp and landed on top of my head, it felt funny, reallly really scary though my body went into like crazy mode for a sec.
 
hey fuck you and your search bar. this is what newschoolers was about in the beginning. good luck with your backflip any questions feel free to post and drop a line.

you'll be so pumped when you do it for the first time. i was yelling like a school girl. and you'll also be mad at yourself for not doing backflips 8 years ago. they're so easy.
 
chances are you wont commit the first time, no offense but its just human nature. You will probably spazz out midway through the air. You'll be upside down and probably start "flipping out" and land on your side. But the next time will be easier and so forth. So make sure u find some pow.
 
do exactly this. know that if you have enough powder you can basically do anything and the worst that'll come out might be a bruise or two.

it's funny tho cuz my friend first tried a backflip off the biggest jump in the park and he was on 191 GS race skis and he completely stoped the shit out of it. was pretty sick
 
whatever you do, make sure you keep looking, not to freak you out, BUT, I have seen some kids get owned because they looked only half way and took it to the dome.
 
i can do them on the trampoline noooo problem, i am just scared of doing them with skis on, cause they slow down ur rotation allot im sure
 
at snowtrails in ohio we have a halfpipe that they never blow snow into or nething but when we get enough snow we make a kicker out of it and thats where i learned my first backflip

 
lots of people think that they are easier that 3's, all you got to do is go for it if you condradict your self on the jump or somthin you will eat shit very hard....so just commit
 
Find some water ramps. Do like 80 there. Then do it on a table during the winter.

That's what I did. I did one my first day skiing this season and stomped it. It was awesome.

So, go to water ramps.
 
ok so i learnt it first on tramps. The key is to put ur hips into it. If you look at Liam in LSS, he has the smoothest gainers and he always put his hips into it (shit that sounds so gay)...good luck and dont remember you HAVE to commi or ur fucked
