backflip problem

[kolbycrouch]

so im thinking bout trying them but i have a few questions

do i hit them coping when i flip or not, and about how much air (in ft) should i be able to get out of a qp before i try

 

[brandon kilbury]

jesus christ.

yes, pop off coping.

and for speed, just fucking go fast, when I flip a box I go a little faster than I do to clear it, figure it out.

thanks man i heard you say something about not hitting the lip, i guess im stupid and thought you meant coping, i just was wonder how much you could air out heighth wise when you did them, after someone answers that then this thread can be locked, i guess im a puss and dont want to die or something

your body will kinda know too.
its like a natural rotation. or at east for me

coping? are you flipping out of a qp or a box?

eh, nevermind.

i'd suggest getting at least 4 feet high to start learning them. Then just hit the coping and throw yourself back.
DON'T LOOK UP!
Look right away for the landing.

If jdben can do it, you can do it.

yea i can get 4 feet thanks man so i just look straight? i would have hucked my head back if you didnt tell me that

 

[Rob.]

No.
Look for the landing
flip completely over and just look for whatever you're landing on
that's what i do.
