This is easily one of the most fly looking tricks in skateboarding so I thought I'd help you out.

A description of the trick-a backside flip is a kickflip and a 180.It differs from the varial flip because in varials only the board turns,backside flips your BODY turns also.

Now there's 3 ways to do these,I'll post them in order of preference-

Befor you try these put some T.I. in your headphones(for the whole butter effect)

1-(my favorite)You pop a 90 degree kickflip,catch it,and turn the rest of the 180.

(step1)To do this pop a kickflip but add some scoop(not too much just enough to get the 90)
(step2)you have to have a level kickflip or it's going to look ugly or you're gonna land on your face in front of that girl you been eyeing.
(step3)Go ahead and be turning your 180,just catch the board on your way around.
(step4)Bend those knees and try to have some style.

2-You pop a 180 kickflip and just body varial all the way around and land.
(step 1)learn varial flips
(step 2) pop a varial flip,but easy on the shove it part,you got make it more like a kickflip 180 and less like a varial
(step 3) stay over that board while you're body varialing,nothing sucks more than barely missing cause you landed toes
(step 4)bend your knees to slow your body's momentum down

3-you pop a HIGH(I can't stress high enough here) kickflip,and drag the 180 around after you catch it.

note: these are hard and you have to practice them like crazy to make em look good,they are fun though and give you a great sense of satisfaction...the price you pay, I guess.

(step 1)Wind up cause you're gonna need AIR.
(step 2)Snap a kickflip with mad authority,put just the slightest scoop on it..
(step 3)When you start to descend catch it with your back foot,now pull it like a man or you'll only go 90 and land on your head
(step 4) have that back leg flexible cause you're gonna land with a lot of weight on it,don't slip out.

Now go get backside flip,and go get a girl.

The momentum of your body turning is probably helping your varial motion.You might keep that in mind when learning varials.

It's nice, but you need a troubleshooting section.
My backside flips (the varial flip ones) only goes like 110 degrees. How can I get the full rotation on it? Would I need more speed? More of a wind-up? Help a nigga out.

More speed is always a good thing.

Wind up more,but I think your main problem is in your scoop.
5 out of every 4 people will just scoop and not pop.You gotta pop then scoop almost at the same time.And don't be afraid to let your front foot help you out.

Also,like I said in the above post,use your body's turning momentum to help get the board around.

A good rule of thumb to know when you've scooped enough:When you scoop fold your back leg(if someone were to take a picture it'd look like you were doing a ninja kick,and ninja's are cool)...focus on folding that back leg where your foot almost touches your butt and the board will be in scoop ectasy.

Consider yourself helped,nigga.

Haha, 5 out of 4. That makes no sence. Thanks for the help though. I'll try that next time I'm out shredding. posi'd.

Oh, one more question. Do I pop first or scoop? Or both simultaniously?

Pop then scoop.Almost simultaneously but not quite.As soon as you hear the crack start to scoop your board around.
