i can do them and that is always the first thing people ask when i tell the i freeski, but yet if i would show them a video of a sweet ass steezy sw cork 7 they insist the backflip is better.

most jumps? i doubt it. backflips arnt really hard or anything but there not easier than 3s on most jumps, because most jumps are straight up

oh, i think they are way easier. maybe cause i can just see the ground for days. not like either trick is hard though. backflips just take balls cause its inverted.

u dont throw urself back, dont give advice if u dont know what ur talking about, u throw ur hips up and forward which makes ur back arc and u look for the landing which will help u to continue ur rotation

Not yet laddy. But I will be able to do them this season. It'll be funny cause there arn't many skiers where I live. All boarders. So when I flip, it'll be like, "OMMMGG GGOSSHH. HE DID A BACKFLIP WHOAOAOHAOAHOA!!!"

Learned them today off a Jersey booter into some soft snow. Ive never been able to do them except off diving boards, not even on a trampoline, but its so easy on skis if the take off is steep and you commit
