How did you learn to backflip?

I've only gone as far as doing it on the trampoline, but transitioning to snow + skis is kind of daunting. Not to mention I'm not really into dying trying to throw a flip on a park jump any time soon. Never built a jump before but I guess that's the only way around here... If anyone has some advice, I'd appreciate it.

wait for some snow, find a booter, then just send her. Step one of learning something new is getting over the fear by trying it once.

Huck and pray. I was a little shit that was pretty good at snowboarding at a parkless mtn. Build a sketch qp out of a rock and started sending them. Jumped were similar. Yolo push yourself but only if it's right. Stomp it!!!

Oh sick dude! I think i saw you at the top of the park a while back. Stoked you got some flips going.

I actually started throwing backies off those jumps again. One year I'll stop but not this year I guess.

Stoked you stomped it man! Nice commitment!
