Convincing Parents

So my parents won't let me backflip and they think I need a coach. Despite the fact that on a trampoline I can land a backflip every time, and my backflips on the trampoline are the ones that you jump staight up and tuck at the peak of your jump. Also they think I'm going to break my neck or something like that. So what do I do to convince them to let me do a backflip and that I don't need a coach, what did your parents think of you backflipping, how did your fist backflip go, and did you have a coach?

BrueWhy are you all so pressed for a backflip?

Is it really worth hucking and not being able to ski, let alone walk again? no.
If you wanna learn them, learn them on an airbag, but hucking shit is why so many kids get concussions and broken bones. You can't enjoy a trick you huck, you have no clue whats even going on. I can't backflip. I wouldn't try until there is a safeway to do it. I can cork and rodeo both ways on the tramp and even stomped a cork 7 into an airbag before, but I'm not stupid enough to risk my health to the point where I might not ever walk again. Is impressing someone for 10 seconds worth never skiing again. Sorry for the deep rant, but I'm against hucking tricks.

I had never done them on a tramp, was peer pressured, ate shit, and I was still fine.

You should just find someone who can and get them to talk to your parents and say if they think you could do it. If there's access to a water ramp, airbag, or powder where you live, try it into it first.
