Im thinking about trying a backflip sometime soon and I was wondering when did you your first one and on what sized jump? Any tips for doing one would be great!

_UnDefied_Is a 3 and a half foot kicker with poEder or a snow pile good to try it on?


ya, only the first attempt is scary, then you get over the fear and youre stoked

Tried it on a 15-20ft jump at Stowe, stomped it first try (claim) then hit the next slightly larger jump and stomped one on that too. I have been able to backflip on a tramp and gainer/backflip into water so I was really comfortable with the feeling. It just took me a while to try it on skis.
