what do you claim as a backflip? is it a parallel backflip to the jump, like a sideways lincoln loop, or is it an actual backflip where you spin 90, then backflip, then go back to your original stance? thanks

a backflip as far as i know is when you flip perpendicular to the direction youre traveling, while flipping parallel to the direction youre traveling is a wildcat. i might have it backwards but im pretty sure thats right...

A backflip is the Lincoln Loop-esqe flip. A wildcat is a backflip in the plane of movement.

I snowboard.  It doesn't matter much but a backflip is done so many different ways.  Some do them straight back off the tail or maybe straight back off the back edge (also known as a a back roll).  Who cares.  90-flip-pretz90 is dope too.

I feel that a back flip is your head going straight behind tilting your head past your shoulders (i.e. 90 degree rotation, flip, back to normal stance) anything else is like a roll
