Replying to Backflip Help

powderhound100:
Allright I know this has been posted 100 times, but it would really be great if a couple of you could help me out.


So I would like to land a backflip. Today I build a jump sort of off the side of a cat track. Its at an angle, so I go down the hill and then turn off left and hit the jump. I made the jump about 3 feet tall. So I always just went up and fell on my back. What do I need to do. How do I need the jump, and what skis should I use. (I was on 179 pontoons I believe.

I have access to my 178 scratch bc's
the pontoons that are here, 169, 79, 89,
and my ON3P wreneagades. 192 (probably not)


I could not find a good slope walking distance from the lodge, either really steep (with no flat area's) or at the bottom of the cat track run off into flat. I know its not ideal, but it would be great if I could figure out how to do a backflip off the jump I made off of the cattrack.


Thanks a lot for your help, and since it seems important for a lot of people, I guess I'll say that karma will be given. haha.


to answer some questions in advance:
I have not done a backflip off of a trampoline (cause I dont really have access), or really off of anything else for that matter.

yeah. thanks.
