You already landed a backflip so why would you need tips? Just lay it out more. Nice age claim right there. Newschoolers can't tell you what tricks you should try, try the ones that seem to be the easiest ones for you

just relax more in the air and practice loads till you can keep you arms by your sides for and just lead with your head for the whole rotation. that was a sick first though. can you do rodeos on tramp? they're are good next step if you've got spins already sorted and you know the rotation

ok right just practise loads on the tramp this summer
here's a to do list:

layed out backs
lincolns
rodeo 5
rodeo 7
rodeo 9
flat 3
misty 5
misty 7
misty 9
cork/d spin 7
cork 9, 10
cork 3?

and try and get everything down both ways, you can get all of these without the need for double bounces on a shitty trampoline

if you want you can try doubles as well but you need a bit more airtime

also learn standing backs, bitches love dem, just practise doing backs without bouncing until you man up, then do it on grass or onto cushions
