Replying to Backflip at 40 - a long way to go

Hi. I have just taken up skiing after a seriously long brake (18 years) and I am loving it! Been watching all the ski films on youtube, redbull etc and the thought of doing a backflip seems really intriguing. As of now I have a really long way to go, but I was curious to hear what would be a good form of transition. What basic tricks should you master before even thinking of doing backflips? I understand that most of the users of this forum are a lot younger than me and that a backflip might not be a big deal.

All thoughts and tips are much appreciated!
