Backflip On Skis Full Progression

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 พ.ค. 2023
- A backflip was a personal skiing bucket list that I've always wanted and I finally managed to get it this season. A big thanks to all my friends and family members that patiently spotted/filmed/coached/encouraged me!
Also a big thank you to Stomp It Tutorials. At this point I've probably watched hundreds of their videos. - กีฬา
Standing backflip before trampoline backflip is crazy, lol
yeah lol looking back I definitely wish I did it the other way around
its just funny to see someone struggle with the easy part which is doing it on a trampoline. great vid, ive tried one ski backflip and never will again, glad my neck is in one piece lol @@georgetong
did you hurt your neck a lot back then?@@georgetong
i can do trampoline frontflip, when i did backflip i landed on my neck
ouch
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
ikr i burst out laughing so hard as well 😂
Imagine if he had nailed on his first try lol
Your brother is an absolute mad lad with that send
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
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!
Came to say this. He’s making it a lot harder than it should be. He should watch olympic freestyle ski athletes and he’ll understand what you’re saying
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.
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 ☺️
Dude the dedication is incredible. Hell yes.
Absolutely sick. Highest respect man.
This video was recommended to me by the TH-cam 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 🎉
Go terps
@@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
The last clip is wild HAHAH, props man, stoked you got the flip!
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.
Your brother's clip got me good, what a send!
Congrats man!!! Hard work pays off, great backies!!
The first 40 backies were not so nice lmfao
Never was I ever so invested in a progression vid. good job man you did it!
Congrats!!
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
Congrats man, you wanted to do something, put in the time and effort to learn it and nailed it.
solid. congrats on getting there with the flip
great progress! as a viewer it seemed that the recovery after the flip was the most troubling so thats great to have in mind :)
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.
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!
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!
absolute badass that you learned it on flat ground before the trampoline!
thats so sick man, nice work
I really really respect of you
It will be my future!! I'll start to train for backflip on skis
Awesome Awesome Awesome example of perseverance!!!
Amazing you persevered.
This is really sweet
Huge respect for going all in and then step down a bit to learn easier version and then go all in again and then step down to learn in safer manners 😂😂😂
Great job brother
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!
Nice job man
thank you for sharing
Hahaha, ur brother sent it xD
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.
Same here, except I busted my collarbone. Still got the nice lump after it healed to constantly remind me of that failure 😂
This man has NO FEAR
Sending at Sierra 2022-2023 best season everrrr yeeeew 🤙🏼
always love to see sierra at tahoe in the mix
Much respect. 🙏
What a determination!
And I thought that I had bad acrobatic skills 😂.
This is awesome
Great Job. Trying to get my first this season!
You got this king 👑
Sick video
your brother has my forever respect for that lol
Hoping to accomplish this next season, good work man looks clean!
Appreciate it!
And you got this next season!
Same here, lets go, finally time to start warming up now
Did you get it?
@@georgetongI want to learn backhoes next season. My idea for progression is diving board ➡️ my friends trampoline ➡️ skis on a pow day. However, I think that foam pit jump would help a lot. Where is it? Also were you on normal skis there or some special skis?
your brother absolutely sent that first one lol
nice work bro
i tried to backie on skis once last season and overe shot it and landed on my face ur impressive
Soo rad🔥💪
Clean 360
that form in the beginning is crazy
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” 😅
I can feel the stoke through the monitor
damn, you're brother's fall is some Jerry of the day fodder
Awesome!
Hello. I love the video and want to learn to backflip aswell. Do you have any specific tips to help me progress faster? Also, how can a find a trampoline place that also offers tramp skis and stuff like that? Thank you!
good stuff im gonna try a backfilp next season fs
Thanks boss you got this!
😂😂😂 that last fall
nice dude😀😀👍👍
Dude I got goosebumps at 1:55
man I imagine being good at skiing must be soo fucking fun + even being able to perform some cool shit
Respectfully, holy shit.
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.
In all fearness he came to this same conclusion just in a hard way.
It is amazing how resilient the human body is lol
Aaahhhh, this is also a dream of mine, but sadly I don't the resources or any good skiing seasons to practice/try
Nice job doing it, I'm impressed
You can learn it on dry land and then eventually once you earn more money you can learn on skis, snb
Yup, I can easily do a backflip on trampoline now (Very close to on ground), and i have ski stuff but our skiing season is horrriblleeee, so very bad jumps if any@@milliondollarart
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.
Where can I find a water ramp and inflatable air bag?
Can someone please tell me where that foam pit jump is?
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?
How do I not snap my heel tendon thingy doing that?
Wat resort u at
Landing on neck is the craziest thing that can happen when learning flip
🙌🙌🙌
You are one daredevil
Hello, chronic back pain, my old friend.
Yesssirrrrr
And that my friends, is why I never learnt to do a backflip on skis
I used to be able to stomp them, didnt ski for a year and lost it... scared to try it cuz where I live there is no pow lol, you either stomp it or eat it
Yes yes
KT powder day. Nicee
i have done one on skis before
1:42 imagine this at a ... CERTAIN ... time.
You fucking badass! My stoke for you is so high. I gotta find a proper gym where I can work on this.
Nice! What was the time period from start to end of the bits on snow?
Thanks! A couple of months, from Jan to May
Loopkicks!
iykyk
For anyone practicing strengthen your glutes a ton it makes learning so much easier
Any tips on laying it out, I can do them quick and tucked but the second i go to more air time I can't really lay it out well
@@jasonmohrthat’s the hard part man😂 if you really wanna get good at gauging layouts you need a pit unless you wanna learn the hard way which is eating shit a bunch
How can you still walk??
Palisades Tahoe right? And nice backflip
Yep! A little bit of boreal and sierra in there as well
I would have quit trying to learn a back flip if I landed on my neck 100 times! I landed the first one I ever tried on land and on skis…good lord bruh
Good job. But remember, there's nothing wrong with a tweaked-out twister and some decent hang time -- certainly better for your spine
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
gg
2:51 ouch - seems a lot more success when slowing down the backflip
CRAZY HOW IT ONLY TOOK HIM 2 MINUTES AND 56 SECONDS
Back when I was a kid we just hucked it and prayed
Praise the sun! @1:54
One question: How old are you? Looks motivating to see the progress (even after 4 years of pause to pushe again)
In my 20's, so still relatively young haha
@@georgetong 28 here, been skiing for 25 years. I think I should finally try to perfect my 360s lmao. I land them leaning back too much!
I honestly find backflip on skiis easier than on trampoline.
Try to pop more on the jumps then you have more air time and can fokus more on the landing
