Well, today i got a little bit bord.... i have a 94 toyota pickup, with a big beefy grill-gaurd... it has two pipes in the front on the grill-gaurd, one about a foot and a half higher than the other. i got this cool idea to try a backflip on it, so i took a running start... i ran right at the front of my little pickup, then i put my left foot on the bottom pipe, then i stepped up and put my right foot on the top pip, i was about 4ft in the air... then i tucked, and hucked back... i landed on the ground in front of my pickup... standing up... so yeah, can i do a backflip on my skis? i want to do it off a mogul, without a lip... i already can do them on a good lip-jump, what do you think?

no, i wasn't really standing on my car, i just was kinda walking up to it and got the cool idea about doing that... so i ran at it and basicly backfliped off the hood... its just that the grill-gaurd is a little more sturdy for a foothold... but my friends like it.. ...

Yeah my friends and I run around doin flips off stuff all the time, and I can't do half of them on my skiis. If you wanna try it hopefully oyou have burly quads and stiff skiis and make sure you load your tails like a mofo.

dumb idea, backflips like that are lame, except for teh one you did on feet. I can do a backflip at the pool, does that count?

I'd assume so... but i think you would have to get higher than the length of your skis otherwise you would catch you tips.

you cold do it if you have the balls to do it off your truck you can definetly do it on snow. i think backflips are one of the easiest tricks it just takes a little sacking up
