Inline · Backflip

Table of contents

A backward flip in the air, often done in a half-pipe.

Step-by-step instructions

Setup. Ride with speed toward the lip of a half-pipe or ramp. Commit mentally.
Take off. As you leave the lip, throw your head and shoulders backward and tuck your knees.
Rotate. Complete the backward rotation in the air.
Land. Spot the ramp, extend for landing, and land on your skates on the transition.

Extreme trick—requires air awareness and commitment. Often learned with a spotter or into foam. Never attempt without proper progression and safety.

Work up with 360s and air awareness. Many learn into a foam pit or with a spotter. It's a high-risk trick.
