I am 15, I have learned to backflip on the trampoline and can do it on an airbag, I want to take it to the snow, should I do it into powder? Is there anything esle I can do? Are there any other precautions I can take?

Everyone will tell you to do it in powder, but it's much easier on a nice park jump and you will likely land it first try anyway if you can do them on tramps.  Just go for it, they are incredibly easy.

Im also 15 and stomped my first backflip this year. I learned it into powder but I like flipping more in the park because the jumps have a nice kick and the landing is so much nicer. i'd say pretty much just go for it, with a flip its all or nothing.

I suppose I'm just going to have to grow some balls!

Thanks for the help, I'm gonna try one as soon as I go next.
