a big laid out backflip will get more points unless the 720 is wicked tweaked

7s are way way harder than backflips, plus backs are hard to make look stylie in a slopestyle comp unless they have a grab

720 for sure, there are so many more options with a 720. back flips are kind of a novelty.

720's are way sweeter. I've seen kids hop on skis and throw backflips in a season, but it takes serious skill to do a 720.

throw a 720, and then if the comp is more than 1 run throw a backflip.

YES. HOLY SMOKES I NEVER REALLY LIKED THAT SHOW WHEN I WATCHED IT (Kind of perturbed me, especially when they would pull eachothers brains out of thier noses) But that show was sweet. I miss it, I want to watch it again.

um, 720s are seen all over the place. through some good ones with tech grabs through all your main runs then on your last run through a giant backflip stinkbug

well considering that back flips arnt allowed in united states skiing compitetions thats why there are corked bio and other spins like the nature that arent considered a backflip i would guess a flip would get you disqualifyied and a 720 would be the way to go
