I have been trying fronts the last few times I have gone skiing. I tried 2 one day and 2 yesterday. Today, I tried one of a sick powder drop that was flat with a steep powder landing. It was untouched so my friends and decided to go for it. I got first drop and stomped it and rode away. It felt so good.

well then backflips must be really easy.

At the resort i go to there is a 35fter 2 40fters a 50 fter and lotsa powder way upp the mountain, i wanna try a backflip cause they are easy an a tramp

Great job by the way!!

Also, once you get the flip around, remember to reach with your legs for the landing. At least, thats what I do and it helps to straighten me out
