un buckle boots, tuck pants into boots, leave boots unbuckled, unzip jacket (ICE neccessary, ICE = BLING BLING for all you idiots out there), then proceed to take one pole and insert firmly into anus.

very easy to do and i think less scary than a regular backflip, if you're throwing em real hard open your shoulders and look a tad to your left and you'll land regular making it even easier.

They are actually insanely easy once you get used to them. You should already know how to do backflips, for sure. The hit the jump fakie a few times, get used to it, then ski in fakie, fast,a and get in kind of a crouch. Explode off the lip, push up and out hard, and look straight over the top for your landing. You can tuck up your knees to increase the speed of rotation if you need to; I tend to lay out my body behind me and bring it around at the last minute. One word: Commit. if you don't commit, you will feel pain.

by the way- the best thing about them is if you do commit, there's almost no way that you won't rotate it unless the jump is insanely tiny. you can see EVERYTHING, and if you get your skis underneath you on the landing you're good to go. I stuck my first on my first try. good luck.

I tryed one of these last weekend and it didn't work so well cause I rotated too late. Make sure you start your rotation as you leave the jump instead of after like i did or you will land on your head like I did. There were lots of cool little dots dancing around.

haha yeah, I missed the lip once on my rotation and just kind of fell backwards at high speed, slowly rotating until I landed on my head. which is why I repeat- get a good pop off the lip, and get that rotation started!

the key to success here is 'COMMITMENT!!!'

just think that you're gonna make it and go full throttle fakie.

one word, going fakie feels faster than the real speed. so don't be fooled with the speed u feel when riding fakie. approach the kicker hard!
