Replying to Flips, backs vs fronts

Alright boys I'm trying to learn a flip this year. I've been practicing tramp and I can land fronties no problems, however backflips I'm just having a lot of trouble committing to, it feels like my body just refuses to do it. That could change, as I get more and more tramp time in, but as it stands backies seem out of my area right now. The only problem is, everybody seems to learn backs first and I've heard many say they're easier, so I feel like it's wrong or more difficult to learn a front first.

Should I just keep trying to throw backflips no matter what on the tramp or should I try and hit a frontflip on the snow?
