if you can backflip on a tramp or off a diving board chances are you'll land it first try. try it into a big air bag first if you want to play it safe

what you want to do , is a backflip !




lol seriously.
Find a well shaped jump ,
If you can do them on diving boards or trampolines its pretty easy

1)pop of the lip of the jump
2)tuck your knees up(only the first time you do it)
3)try to look at your buttcrak,
4)get it around ,
5)lay it out,
6)afterbang,
7)get the bitches,
8)?????
9)profit

assuming you can do it on tramp or flatground, just build a small lip that will pop you up. if ur not comfortable with that, make a pow landing. i learned that stuff on the small lips on the sides of trails

DONT TRY IT OFF A PARK JUMP FIRST TIME!!!!1!!!!11!!!!!

build a jump into pow with alot of kick because chances are first time you will catch your tips.

doing them onto an airbag the first few times is also a good idea to get used to the feel of flipping with skis on, its alot different then trampoline.

if you want to avoid a season-ending injury, dont huck it off a 10 foot table first day.

good luck.

make a nice kicker with a nice pow landing, doesnt have to be a big kicker smaller the better for the first time, then just lean back and tuck, tucking your legs does everything for you, the weight of your skis flips you, if you can do a back flip on tramp you can do it on skis, i find it easier on skis, check my profile for video of my first back flip
