Ive noticed that alot of guys do nothing but lincoln loops off backcountry booters. Morrison, Brant Moles, Glen Plake, Evan Raps, and a bunch of no-names fit this description

I think they do those because they're easy to do. The cliffs usually don't point upwards like they would on kickers, so it might be harder to orient their body to do a trick like a D-spin.

I just think that tricks like backflips, fronts, and lincolns are easeir to do woithout loosing any flow, and still gettng a clean landing. And since the lincoln is new compared to backs more people are doing them.

And then there's flyaways and stuff, it's all pretty mental. I guess in the backcountry kickers you don't really wanna be too crazy coz your landings are sometimes pretty unpredictable

If you wanna do a trick like a d-spin you want a takeoff thats perfect. Most cliffs arent like that.

Who cares what they throw off cliffs? Some of those cliffs are so massive just dropping them is enough of a challenge. I think it is amazing that they throw a trick in too.
Peace.
