just dip your head back like you would off any other jump. depending on how big the jump is make sure you slow your spin way down. i am used to doing these off backcountry jumps too and when i first started doing them off park jumps i made the mistake of spinning way too fast. just start off smaller jumps first just to get the feel of the tranny but then eventually work your way up. good luck man!

Stomp it like a front flip, only the other way around.

throw it like you would any other jump and spot your landing if you see you're landing and think you will over rotate spread out and arch your back like a banana (you can also do this for style points) but MOST importantly don't fuck up! good luck!

just learned them in the park a few days ago myself..

 I would just say to make sure your 100% confident that you can do them some where.. and then just know that you can do it.. I was doing them on the biggest jump I felt comfortable on and it was a nice floaty step up and I just threw them the same as any other flip and just threw it and hope to hell I made it all the way around.. then stomp it and repeat..

Pop real hard, you need the help getting your rotation started because the jump wont be as lippy.
