Owen Leeper: How to Backflip on Skis | Powder7

[@Nnnnnnnnh88]

Thank for help now i got it :D

[@SunnyDaysMedia]

Should the bindings be middle-mounted on pow skis? I have skied park my whole life riding middle mounted bindings, and I just bought a pair of pow-skis which are more rear-mounted, and I dont know if I like it or if it feels weird. Do you guys have any input?

[@powder7skis]

With pow skis, I'd hesitate to go with a center mount, Maren. That shortens up the amount of tip you have in front of you, which could cause them to be more prone to sink in deep snow. If you want your pow skis to feel surfy and effortless in the soft stuff, I'd stick with a mount position further back from center. Hope that helps!

[@SunnyDaysMedia]

@@powder7skis Thanks for the answer! Very helpful. I think I’ll stick with the mount that I have then :)

[@doBobro]

I've been riding in center mount pow-skis for two seasons and it was not very fun experience. Float is worse and on landing on soft snow it tends to flip you over tips.

[@jordancrofter6539]

I know this is late but taper and rocker profiles on most pow skis would make center mount a bad choice as well

Im going to do it

[@erlendkroken5361]

Do you feel the skiis when you do a backflip? Does heavy skis rotate slower and does lighter skis rotate faster?

It's on the way!

Bruh I thought u knew what u were talking about until u said throw your head back as far as u can😂

[@nickalopogas5207]

i mean he kinda has a point when ur on skis. of course u don't want to throw it back on the ground or on a trampoline, but on a huge ski jump going very fast theres kinda no point to set with ur chest.

[@bowdidinning2352]

Your body follows your head so if you not getting a lot of air you kinda need to

[@ianthornblade5944]

he said look back as far as you can and he just wants you to spot the landing as best as possible

[@donovanargatoff3764]

Dont what tell u tack off it shold be one big momentum

[@papapablo9431]

I just have to ask, is it dangerous to fail a backflip?

[@ivanhoecorriveau6246]

ye your neck goes snap

[@sawyer4417]

Its dangerous to fail anything

[@ChirpFPV]

depends how you do it,

[@rgskiing5070]

Wearing a back protector would probably be a good idea for first learning

[@RaymondTusk74]

No, it’ll make it harder to arch and spot the landing. If you can do them easily on a trampoline, it’s the easiest trick on skis. Just have to commit and you’ll land first try.

[@jbjjbros2472]

It’s bad to throw your head, so throw your hips
