I am planning on doing one this weekend. I have no acces to a foam pit so I'm planning on just going for it. Have any of y'all done it thatway. If so how'd it turn out. And also is there anything I can do to practice this before I try. I'm open to all tips. Thank you
 
i had never even tried a backflip on a scooter into foam or tramp, and i threw it

if you bail (like me) u land on your head

just commit it takes no skill, just balls

I think I'm gonna try as soon as I can get a good day to go to the park. I'm gonna do it in full pads and all of that crap and I don't care what shit the skaters say. I wanna see them try to backflip.

Make sure you can get the height for it.
Lean back, Pull back, Look back. Go straight over backwards, dont twist or go over your shoulder or anything.
Hold the FUCK on, if you bail and you stack its going to hurt twice as much more than if you stack and you hold on.
Lots of speed, and rotate slowly, you dont nead to throw your self backwards like a nun-chuk.
Get used to the feeling of going over backwards on like a trampoline or something like that, that helped me.
BTW i landed my first backflips to concrete today.
