try them into powder if you can.  just build like a 10-15 foot jump in your yard  (or anywhere for that matter) with a decent lip.  thats how i learned them

Trampolines worked for me. Diving boards too I guess. Helps to have something soft to learn the rotation on.

yeah this too for sure.  i did them on tramps for like a year before snow because i learned over the spring/summer.  it can be done earlier.  just sack up, they're really fun, easy, and non-scary.

well i'm sure you get a few days.  i live in CT so i know how it feels.  it doesn't have to be that deep, just enough to soften the landing.

Doin a backflips is pretty easy, just make sure you try first on a jump with a fair amount of kick to help send u into the flip. When doing the flip you want to set it from you hips not your head and shoulders. So you drive your hips up and the pull your knees up and it will come around. Spot your landing stomp it and ride away.
