Alright so i just have a ? but to fill you all in heres the situation. Im a dece skier ok and i can land fronts front 1's and spnis up to 7 and any grab you want basically. The thing is when i try a back its like i pop off the jump and go for the rotation and my upper body goes but my feet dont rotate at all. Basically i cant do it over snow or on a water ramp.........wtf am i doing wrong?

pretty much sounds like you are doing the right things, but hesitant. Can you do a back on a tramp or a diving board into a pool?

I know it probably doesn't help much but, honestly it sounds like its all mental. Find a nice powder day (good soft landing) when you can relax and just throw it.

yeah, for me when i was learnin um thats what was most important, i looked for the landing 100% of the time, and when i felt upright id bring my feet around. but yeah wait for a soft powder day. huck hard, and have confidence. good luck.

make sure you hit a jump that kicks you up,backs over flat jumps(cliffs) are very difficult.

spotting your landing is the best way to bringg your body b/c yur head ge as far back as possible. your lower body has to come around.

look for your landing put your head back and your lower body will fallow your head. just like on a tramp.
