How to hit a snowboard jump?

If I can do a backflip on a trampoline, and I can go off a jump on a snowboard, can I backflip off a jump?

• I've been kind of scared to do this because I don't want to fall and kill myself, but if I can do a normal backflip off of a trampoline, and I can hit a jump on a snowboard ...show more

• Answer:

  oh my gosh no! if i were you i would probably invest in going to a camp and then trying it there (that's how i did it). just because you can do it on a trampoline does not guarantee that it will work. there are different things to consider before you try doing back flips, am i completely comfortable doing front flips, am i comfortable with the speed that i need to clear the jump, and last am i actually gonna commit and land the trick. i've seen so many incidents where a person will go and try to back flip but stop half way into it. all i'm saying if im saying anything is don't do something that may end you up in the hospital or morgue if you're not 100% comfortable with it.
