so I'm fairly new to backflips I learned them at the end of last season but I can really only tuck them, if I try to layout I still partly tuck i can lay them out nicely on the trampoline and can also tuck them as well but for some reason I can't lay them out on skis, I was told that it might because I'm popping to early and throwing them to hard so my upper body it already upside down when my feet have barley even started going upside down so they have to almost compensate for it and my feet just end up whipping around and it looks weird. Is there any special way to or tips for laying them out?

A vid of you might help so understand whats happening. Have a friend get a vid next time. Video review is the best way to get better.

Push your hips up and forward kinda like your trying to fuck the sky! Use your hips and upper body for the rotation and kinda leave your feet behind. If you push your hips forward then you'll get that nice banana shape. Then when your about to land, bring your feet back underneath you.

On skis, i can't really help you but i'd say just practice a lot on the trampoline to really lay out the backy, the more hang time the better in my opinion because you are less rushed through the rotation.

dont throw it, float into it. hang your legs and arch your back. stare at the landing as soon as you see it. I prefer to set up to under rotate slightly then snap my legs back.

its really all about how you leave the lip. get a feel for the jump, the lip and the airtime and try to throw it matching that. it feels very similar to the trampoline after youre in the air

It's all about the pop and pushing your hips forward. I found it took me a few tries to get used to the jump when I first started laying them out.

I think that might help because on the trampoline I really do float it more than I huck it I'm definetly going to try that. Also I think I should start the rotation earlier than I am because ive been comparing a video of mine to one that is layed out and there is a difference, the one that is laid out is started much later in the air than mine is.
