Good work, but don't put hands in the air so early, focus on the pop more than hucking.

nice job man! super fun trick

but instead of just hucking off of the lip, try and imagine a bar and try and jump up and over it while doing the flip it helps a lot

Fucking sick man. 

It may be a long shot for me only recently getting into park but a goal of mine is to stomp a front and/or back this year.  Any tips or something you found helped a lot?

well im not to sure, i would say, just make sure your comfortable with the jump your going to do it on, and make sure you commit and tuck up. then try to spot your landing, depending on how your rotation either tuck up more or lay it out more to control your rotation speed

yer man go for it, if u are worried for the first time just wear a back protector, if u are going off a bigger jump mabye try into an airbag to work out speed of rotation or just take to a small jump, thats what i did and i meant i didnt worry to much about speed or making the distance

focus on a point in front of you before you go off the jump and try and look at that point the whole flip. it will keep you from doing more of a backflip or frontflip.

Just pop (jump up off the lip) and you got it.  Its not a hard trick and you aren't scared, probably land it first try.  Keep up the skiing.

tucking makes all the difference, and speed come in a little faster than u normally would beacuse for me i didnt really pop but if u pop its all right but concentrate on the tuck especially of a smaller jump.

Wait till you learn backs

yer, its like the only place in the uk that makes half decent real snow kickers this one was tiny beacuse they made a massive 20 ft snow quater pipe so they focused on that instead of a kicker, it was a real progressive one though
