ReturnToMonkeyWhy do you think you feel fear? Is it the added weight of skis on your feet? Just pop hard then hump the air! If it's the speed aspect, find a pretty vertical jump that you don't need as much speed for. Try it into some powder or soft slush
tannersnyderI don’t think feel very much fear about it I just can’t go brain dead for 10 seconds like I do with 360s. Just can’t commit. The jump is really poppy and perfect but my brain just can’t commit.
tannersnyderI am super frustrated because the last few days I have been trying to convince myself to do a backflip. I am a very good skier and can do any rail/hit any jump with a 3. I have backflips on ground and can gainer off something high very easily. I just cannot commit to the backflip on airbag. It’s not the I am scared it’s just that my mind won’t let me lock in and do it. Any tips?
ChunderfaceIt’s almost July bud how are you skiing
ThegenericskierI backflip on snow yet I cannot backflip on flat ground. My solution is to forget how to backflip on flat ground

ajbskiidk backflips are overated.
i get it, they look cool, but a friend of mine who has only been skiing for three years can stomp them. like he cant ride moguls, or carve really for that matter, but he can backflip. so dont feel pressure like ill be good at skiing if i can backflip.
i usually just get mad at myself and let that frustration grow. anger brings the physco out from within.
+TbernatovichI was about 5-6 beers deep for my first backflip. Try that out
BallZach420Get corked instead
KevenI have backflips and cork 7s down on tramp, but don't know how well I can transfer onto snow. I don't want to spend 300bucks on tramp skis, can I just wear my skis into the tramp lol? (to get use to weight + grabs)

Jemsif you want to tear something requiring surgery then do this
KevenJust landed my first back flip today! All it took was 20 ppl pressuring me to do it.
S.J.WContrary to popular belief, you don’t have to be good at your hobbies. Go out and have fun.
