not really. I've done them off all kinds of ramps. the best are quater pipes, like a skate board ramp. You just need to get a lot of air and hold the gas down the whole time until you get a full rotation. hope that help good luck

The bigger the tires, the easier the backflips..... Just hold the gas down when you jump..

don't go over bored with them though, you can easily over rev an engine doing back flips, and if you land with the throttle on you can say goodbye to your spur gears, and possible diffs and tranny gears.

Yes, I should have been more specific - hold the gas til it flips, but make sure you don't land on-throttle - ever...

yeah let off the gas right b4 u land.........so for a backflip just hold it wide open and for a front flip (more air required) hit the brakes hard and then let off once it goes all the way around.....then work the gas/brake to land level
