How to do actual good backflips (not tucked)

Lean back and push the hips forward and pop, i dont know how to explain it but flipping skis is all in the hips (stomp it tutorials is probably pretty good)

Don't fling your neck back and don't start bending your knees until you completely leave the jump. Flip energy should mostly come from the hips and chest. Keep your eyes foreword until you see your feet meet the horizon. Patience before tucking will make it look a lot better.

Do them more, get comfy. The less sketched the easier it is to be patient and lay them out. Do them on a bigger jump if it's to small or go faster. Drive your hips forward, arch your back, stick your tongue out(optional) snap your legs around, ride away like a boss.

Idk, sometimes just doing more is the answer. Sometimes you don't know the right way to do a trick, sometimes you kinda know inside but it's comfort with doing it properly and relaxing that's the issue.

Good luck. Layed out backflips will forever be my favorite trick. You got it bro!

This is pretty much what I was about to post. Dont lean back, thrust up.

Feel you OP, we're in the same boat. I over rotate like 95% of my tries. Sent my first few backflips to snow last may, continued where I left mid october and have around 15 tries on snow so far. Fortunately enough I still land on my feet just about every time, staying alive to send another one.

In my case I feel like it's just paying the price to learn something rad. More reps in, more relaxed tricks out. For me it's very hard to be patient and not tuck because I learned to backflip the gymnastics way, always tucking and landing on the same spot I popped off the trampoline.

The struggle goes on again starting next sunday, hit me a follow on Instagram to see how it goes :) https://www.instagram.com/tominiemenmaa/

Will follow you back (and anyone else from NS or skiing in general) if you are into this social media thing.

Thanks for the tips for far guys, helps a lot

I could only ever lay them out I had to learn not massively over rotate. The angle of the jump/landing vs flat to flat on a trampoline is an adjustment
