I'd say rodeo is your next trick to learn from backs. Learning
a front or lincoln might be helpful, but you might need to wait until you're 14

Would probably be helpful to learn a lincoln before trying an underflip.

Id argue that snowflex is a reasonable surface to learn new tricks on. Yeah sure it will give you some carpet burns if you fall with bare skin but just cover up. As a surface to land on its soft as its foam backed compared to an icy or solid winter park landing.

Rodeo is a really easy trick to learn if you are comfortable with backflips. I think you should learn those, then flatspins.

Flatspin, Rodeo and Underflip! But you might wait until you are 14 to try any of these...

I don't think you get it. Backflip is not something you learn because you wanna evlove as a skier. You learn backflip to impress the ladies!

I don't think I've ever seen a superman backflip. That's gotta be pretty damn scary as if you hold it just a tad too long you are probably seriously messing yourself up.

flat 3 is super easy to learn from backflip I would imagine....I actually started off with flat 3s and then started doing backflips

Why, does his age affect his skiing ability or something? Generally no

No, because people that age claim tend to be annoying fuckbags.

But he wasn't annoying at all in this post. He was barely bragging. I admit age claims are stupid and unneeded but this wasn't even bad.

It was the first thing he said, it was almost as though he thought that was the most important thing in the post. He though it was most important to state his age rather than the trick in question. Age shouldn't be a problem or even taken into consideration. It isn't important but he felt as though he need to be all, look at me, I'm thirteen and I can backflip, I'm the next greatest thing. My view on age claims is that it should be 45 and up. To the OP, maybe a flatspin 3 or a cork three.

What if he said he was 13 and can triple. then does the age claim matter. I would be like holy shit, partially because hes 13

By superman backflip I think you mean putting your arms out in front super man style as you spot and come in for your landing. That is no harder than a regular backflip, it is literally so you can slow yourself down in the air so you don't over rotate. Not a different trick, just a technique to keep control.

Or you could do a claimed backie and continue to claim for 200m as required.
