That's how we learn it in gymnastics! One reason to learn standing first is because it really teaches you to jump *up*. You gotta learn to jump straight up if you wanna do backflips consistently. That's also why his flips on skis look a bit wonky; he's staying super close to the ground where he should be jumping up *before* starting his flip.

After nodding along in appreciation and anxiety with your painstaking journey, your brother's absolute Leroy Jenkins had me rolling

Imagine if he had nailed on his first try lol

Your brother is an absolute mad lad with that send

Awesome progression! One quick note is that you are launching the flip from your shoulders (leaning back), which tends to cause over rotation. You should try to first jump "up" and then launch the rotation from your hips by pushing them forward and up and then bringing your knees to your chest. This will give you more control and eventually allow you to backflip without requiring too much speed or height. Good luck and congrats again!

It felt like the effort to make this happen was way too much. Not that I've ever tried a backflip, it'll most likely be a backflop if I did.

This is a great PSA. Now I know I never want to bother learning this.

It’s really not that hard, this person makes it look really hard tho

You & your brother are nuts! Awesome to see some raw progression. Respect 👊

Good job on the progression. But what made this video really special for me is the supportiveness of the filming person. Just such an authentic "yeeeaaah", loved it ☺️

Absolutely sick. Highest respect man.

Dude the dedication is incredible. Hell yes.

This is a testament to how damn hard it is and you can't do it for free. Everybody falls. Congrats on your backflip, may you free yourself from it now ao you don't end up in a wheel chair. Some of my buddies are rolling already and I am not going to a motocross track ever again.

This video was recommended to me by the KZread algorithm. I thoroughly enjoyed this montage, especially because it included my alma mater, University of Maryland. You and your brother are such brave and inspiring terrapins, I hope to achieve this someday. Thank you 🎉

@@georgetong i am great at doing normal backflips, but just so scared of combining it with skiing. Honestly this video made me even more scared of trying it 😅. the timinng with the pop aswell as the correct postures seems supper hard... maybe ill go for a frontflip instead;.. seems more straight forward. i do need soft snow for my fist attemt tho, that is clear after watching this video

I really admire attitude, wish I had your guts. I'm still afraid to do backflip from floor even though I know my capabilities and certain that worst case scenario would land on knees. But you've been landing almost on your head and still continued 🤯. I've started trampolining and gymnastic because of skis somewhat 3 years ago now. And I did my first backflip to airbag only last week - unfortunately had guts only for 4 tries (but aced frontflip). So, it's impressive, keep going!

Your brother's clip got me good, what a send!

You have my utmost respect. Also, thanks to this video I'll never attempt a backflip unless it's on a trampoline or something. I need to avoid injuries at all cost anyway, this definitely looks like a painful process.

Congrats!!

The last clip is wild HAHAH, props man, stoked you got the flip!

I really really respect of you It will be my future!! I'll start to train for backflip on skis

Bro what a brilliant video I’m literally on this journey now and bust my neck and fractured my nose learning but I ain’t giving up

great progress! as a viewer it seemed that the recovery after the flip was the most troubling so thats great to have in mind :)

solid. congrats on getting there with the flip

absolute badass that you learned it on flat ground before the trampoline!

I did diving board, cliff gainers and flips, then trampoline , and the snowboard barrel roll and backflips. First snowboard ones were homemade kickers into deep pow (harder to land but got confidence), then table tops which came quick by that time. Never learned to flip just flat ground. Thats nuts to start that way haha!

Never was I ever so invested in a progression vid. good job man you did it!

Amazing you persevered.

thats so sick man, nice work

Your brother must have been drinking there at the end! Hahaha that was a “fireball full send” if I’ve ever seen one! 😂 All jokes aside, awesome job putting all these practice routines down before going out and throwing it down on the mountain!

Awesome Awesome Awesome example of perseverance!!!

This is really sweet

Great job brother

always love to see sierra at tahoe in the mix

A long time ago I sent it as a teenager on a powder day and almost landed one. The next attempt dislocated my shoulder. Haven’t landed one and probably never will but I learned so much about risk management from that experience that I’ve benefited from. Very satisfying to see your progression, great job sticking with it.

Sick video

As someone who ate shit multiple times while learning how to backflip on skis, I respect your courage and determination. For those who have not done it; 1. Trampoline without skis for air awareness first 2. Trampoline with skis and boots for air awareness with weight 3. Water ramp with same skis and boots for air awareness when moving 4. On snow into an Inflatable Airbag with skis and boots 5. After perfecting #4, on snow in a powder day, check your landing zones and have a buddy spot you, for the win. There is no quick and easy, just hard work, determination and the satisfaction of a job well done and your own sense of personal accomplishment. Also, in my personal experience, when doing it on a deep snow day moving along, I found that I really had to have a big enough jump to have enough time to flip around, the right take off ramp angle and had to pull really hard to come around, until I got more experience. Have fun, learn from others, stay safe and enjoy the slopes.

You should practice "setting" your jump before tucking. There are lots of videos on it. Will significantly improve your ability to adapt in the air. Instead of just hucking. This is why you keep rotating at the end so often. It will also help your ground flips. Nice work!

what do you mean by setting?

I can feel the stoke through the monitor

Starting off smashing yourself against the ground like that is madness. I learned backflips on trampoline, then bouncy but stong surfice (only when I know I could land one every time) then on flexibly supported surface not too bouncy (also only when 100% confident) and then on regular flat - continuing to succeed every time. Otherwise its fuccin scary if there is a chance you’d fall on your head or knees.

man I imagine being good at skiing must be soo fucking fun + even being able to perform some cool shit

I was watching this thinking “I think I can handle the falls it takes to learn flips” and then I saw ur brothers slam and was like “nah I’m good” 😅

It is amazing how resilient the human body is lol

Yes yes

And that my friends, is why I never learnt to do a backflip on skis

Good job. But remember, there's nothing wrong with a tweaked-out twister and some decent hang time -- certainly better for your spine

You are one daredevil

I honestly find backflip on skiis easier than on trampoline.

I backflipped off the back of a trampoline could have landed on my neck and been paralyzed for life so I don't every try them anymore

2:51 ouch - seems a lot more success when slowing down the backflip

How do I not snap my heel tendon thingy doing that?

Back when I was a kid we just hucked it and prayed

Praise the sun! @1:54

Wat resort u at

This makes sense. You're doing backflips in a vacuum. On the slopes you're executing the same move over and over, just like you did in the gym. Except terrain and speed are now variables. These would go a lot better if you simply got a feel for what was happening with your board/skis while executing the jump vs. robotically going 🤖 jump. Approaching. 🤖 now in air. Must flip. 🤖 now back on ground. Did flip success?

One question: How old are you? Looks motivating to see the progress (even after 4 years of pause to pushe again)
