Pencil steeze (lawn dart) on the front flips is where it's at.

Doing flips isnt any harder than it is doing them on a trampoline. though they can be difficult for new skiers, and feel akward on skis, i would say they are relatively easy once u get used to the sensation of flipping. they are simply thrown the same way on snow as they are on a tramp, make sure u dont miss ur pop by the way. u should start off by not worrying about how they look ie forget about the cannonball/layed out for now. first learn to throw them and stick them. frontflips will tend to look cannonballed at first but once u master them tryn learn to lay them out if you like that, and backflips usually are cooler looking layed out and most tend to learn them this way anyway. but ur asking the wrong questions my friend. u should do them how u like to do them. Dont ask others how u should do them. ask ur heart. its called individual style my friend and it is an important commodity. good luck man and wear a helmet! u should be alright. if you have any more questions keep posting and i will check back!

I've been practicing frontflips on water and they're really easy. My first one I would have landed it on snow. According to my coach, you have to throw it superman up and forward off the lip of the jump. You stay supermanned until your almost to the top of air. I can't backflip so I can't help you there.

backflips are one of the easiest tricks you can do on skis. it just takes some nuts to sack up and decide your gonna do it.

the sucky part of frontflips is you usually cant see the landing until you are at the angle youre supposed to be landing at, so you have to guess a little on when to get ready to land but backflips arent too hard

I think that this season will be when I try my first flip. Waiting for a pow day, then building my own kicker and going for it.

You're saying you're going all out and yet you are asking people how to do flips? Sounds to me like someone is being a vagina with big lips.
