Skiing Tricks - Back Flip

A Back Flip is definitely one of the most difficult tricks to perform. Skiers who want to do this trick should practice first either on a trampoline or a diving board before trying it out on a snow slope.

	STEP 1: To start off, ski at moderate speed and approach the lip of the jump.
	STEP 2: Incline your head back when you take off as if you are looking skyward.
	STEP 3: Do the back flip. Direct your Skis upward to go over your head.
	STEP 4: Spot your landing as you complete the turn.
	STEP 5: Slightly bend your knees to absorb the impact as you reach the ground.
	STEP 6: Stomp it and ride away.

Flipping yourself back while on midair is undeniably a difficult challenge to undertake. Moreover, there are risks involved. Therefore, constant practice before doing a back flip on a ramp-type jump is necessary.
