BACKFLIPS!

So, while I was doing a backflip today I was thinking "hey, these are really fun.". Well after I landed (I mean, it wasn't that big) I thought about creating this thread, so here it is... isn't technology great?!

I think everyone reading this should go learn a backflip tomorrow if they haven't done them yet. They're not hard, you'll enjoy them... it's natural to be nervous before you first time, but so is sex, and you're not going to say not to sex because of a little nervousness are you? So what are you waiting for? go huck some b-flippers.



And another thing, I think we should try and start an annual backflip day, where you gotta do backflips off of anything and everything. Maybe use backflip day to try and get more people to do backflips?

Backflip trains will literally cause a gayper to fall off a lift and lose his pants.

Backflips are sooooooooooooo much fun. Super easy too. Literally every person could do them if they just sacked up and committed. The only hard part about doing a backflip is getting over your fear of going backwards and upside down, the actual trick is easy!

Omm...yes of course...Backflips are a lot of fun, but it's just so gay trick. it sure looks nice if you do it with style but if not, it looks terrible. Try frontflips from a REALLY big kicker, that's something that is even more cool.
And btw I do all my backflips double ;D

There's a night demo thing in Alpe d'Huez in a couple of weeks that I might ski in; could be fun to get a massive backflip train going on at that.

I don't get some of you kids. talking about how backflips are gay, lack style, blah blah blah... who the fuck cares? they're fun to do, and that's all that matters.

this isn't the first time I said this, and probably won't be the last... "FUCK STYLE!". everyone should be doing what's fun. as to why you'd limit yourself to what is stylie is beyond me... skiing isn't high school, you don't need to try and be part of the cool crowd to feel like you fit in.

backflips are super fun, but i like frontflips more, even though they're harder, we should definatly have backflip day, or frontflip friday.

I also have an undying love for backflips, especially when backflipping an entire jump line, like 4 or 5 in a row. Feels amazing

ok, so i was talking to people around my neck of the woods, and we all agree that if a "backflip day" were to be in existence it should be in the spring time.

but, it shouldn't be too close to gapper day.

so - I'm thinking St. Patrick's Day. you've got a beer or two in you, you throw caution to the wind and just throw backies off of everything.

You guys think we should make March 17th "backflip day"? Or should we make it a different day? Like maybe the first day of spring? that would be cool too.
