frontflip. landed backseat, backslapped (super soft pow), then got up onto my feet. then my skis sunk and i fell over.

i guess the first flip i ever tried was a rodeo that same day, but those were such terrible attempts that i don't even count them.

backflip, first time I tried was in 7th grade, over rotated and slammed on my head/back and got a minor concussion. Didn't try one until two seasons later when I stomped it first try.

Backflip, stomped. But it took me 22 years to even try it.

If you can do em on trampolines and you're moderately athletic, you can do them anywhere.

Overflip back when I was 16. Just off a little cornice drop.
I was so incredibly happy when I landed it first try.

this is gonna be the case with me

i know i can do one and they're not super difficult tricks i'm just too big of a pussy to commit to one

i much much much prefer doing frontflips though, even on trampolines and diving boards i'm not super comfortable going back

I was at keystone with my friends and we were just having a normal day starting to throw some threes and sevens and what not on big line. Key had just put in a new jump that was like a step up type thing with like a jump over a wall i dunno it was crazy but the landing was really easy so at lunch my friend was like dude we should try fronts today and me and my other friend were like yeah . . .haha totally dude . . .but we didnt think we would actually do them so we got outta lunch and got to the top of that new jump and my friend was like seriously guys lets do it so we were like ok if you go first. . . . so we all got our tunes in and got ready . . . my first friend goes . . . lands it first try . . . second friend goes . . . throws lie a misty 7 and dies . . . .then i go and land on my back but it didnt hurt at all so we all went back up and stomped them the second try and did them the rest of the day

Same. I have had some bad experiences with hitting my head on a diving board and falling of a trampoline doing backflips so i am kinda sketched out to try them again.

that would have been sick on a bigger jump though

i tried a random somersault on a roller not intentionally but for fun and then next run i actually tried a front flip and landed backseat off it

backflip. stomped it.

not too hard though if youve hucked gainers off cliffs before. thats way more scary than just leaning back on skis. you actually have to throw your head back toward the cliff and kick your knees up. not an easy thing to do for the first time..
