exactly this, hump the sky as you pop, look straight back for the takeoff and then landing.

First one in a while is scary, just don't panic and throw it too hard.

Do it on a real jump. Like something decent size not some piece of trash in your backyard that is 2 feet tall. Focus on the pop. Its all about the pop. When you get on the lip wait. Don't throw super hard, just pop. Come around and spot the landing and ski away. Just come into the jump and believe that you have done millions of backflips and this is easy for you and just do it.
