aight, i went for my first backflip up on blackcomb a couple a days ago. i can pull over around and land on my knees but i found it so hard to land on my feet. this could have something to do with the fact the jump was 4 feet tall and i am 4'11 yet my skis are 161's...but sum kids couold pull them around. i fdlip back and lift my kees up, but i really have to struggle to get around.... ne tips?

find a jump that pops you pretty strait up so that half your flip is already done for you

push your toes to the front of your boots and that should set your rotation

I was flipping really fast when I first learned. I got a bigger jump and started overrotating. I started trying to add a cross and it slowed my rotATION down aand then I started landing them
