How did you get the balls to go off a big kicker for the first time? You just have to go for it.

Stupid fucking question. If you have to ask this, you don't deserve to learn how to backflip.

As has already been said, a little "liquid courage" (esp, Fireball) goes a long way for progression

Practice a lot on a tramp. Then move to a jump with a deep pow landing, by then you'll be confident and will be stomping if you practice enough. I ate crap on a backie today and even that gave me confidence. I went on the next decent jump and hucked it harder and over rotated. Practice makes perfect my friend

It's all about not thinking. If you think too much, you won't do it. You just have to let your mind go blank, realize you're capable of it and just do it.
