ok... first of all go resources then go tricks and have a look in there what would be better for you...
ive never done em, but apparently if you try and lick your ass behind your back off a jump you'll land it coz of the kick, but eh, i duno.. when i try a flip ima try forward first..

go back first
with a front the tips of your skiis kinda get in the way so backflips are easier

backs are scarier but easier. and make sure you pop rather than just using the momentum of the jump to throw you back. and commit. if you pussy out you will get hurt

def back, front's are harder to learn but if you got balls like me go for the front! but after you get them down don't do them all the time go for mistys and rodeos fronts and backs are ugly if you do them straight up i think
