When riding normal, your weight is against the front of your boots. When riding fakie should your weight be against the back of your boots? And when hitting jumps fakie, how do you pop?

You should be centered in your boots when you are skiing forwards, typically this is puttign a little bit of pressure into the cuff of your boot.
The only time you want to really push into the front of your boot is when you are executing a turn. Now based upon this when you are going backwards the same should apply. You should be centered over the balls of your feet, which might mean a little bit of pressure into the heel of your boot.

^ehhhhh.... not quite. skiing regular you try to focus on putting pressure on the tongue of your boot to initiate turns and keep from getting tossed backseat. riding fakie is mechanically different, so you dont focus on pressuring your boots so much. its hard to describe other than keep your weight centered. as for popping, its all about timing, just practice, you'll get it.
