does anyone have some tips on learning backflips, tips on a good backflip jump? I can do them on the tramp and diving board pretty well.

It's a bit different to doing one on tramps/into a pool.

Pop from your thighs and hips, up and forwards. If you just throw your head back you'll either land upside down and backwards or come a little further around for the full-blown scorpion.

This, except I counted them up and I think you missed one.  Actually came out to 567898765459765459.  OP, try Trick Tip.

be able to do no bounce backflips on tramps, be wicked comfortable with them. Then its really pretty easy out of the bottom of a pipe or on a mogul style jump. Just commit. also, i learned them layed out, never tucked one in my life but thats just me.

If you can do a legit gainer on the tramp, you can backflip on skis. Its almost entirely mental once you have the initial backflip skill.
