Hey, first of all I KNOW this has probably been asked, and answered before, but I couldnt find any damn posts or anything about it..So dont tell me "Its been explained before, go to another thread blah blah" :(

I tried suspension settings, I tried like everything..Leaning forward, backward, braking just before take off, gas ..:(

Can someone explain HOW TO DO A BACKFLIP?
Like, suspension settings, ..uhm..when to do what and how..Please? :D

You should use FMX, FMX Rd. 1, or Freeworld. Use the tarmac ramps, and right before your front tire leaves the ramp, pop the clutch.
I don't do any fancy gear changes or leaning or anything- and mine look pretty good.

Ha no problem..and yeah, everyone has their own way of doing a flip.
I think mine's decently easy though haha.

I think mulishatroop or mace-x has a messed up way of doin em...but it works for them.

Hehe :D
I put my clutch button on my W=lean forward button :D
So when im halfway up on the ramp, I lean forward, and just before front tire leaves, lean backwards, and release clutch at same time! :D I love flipwhips too.. :D :D :D :D

Those are the BIG ones, right? I mean a FLIPWHIP :(
Just a little whip, in a flip!
Not close to a 360, just backflip, and a bit sideways, nothing huge.. :D

alirhgt one its whipflip two
and underflip is where you are perpendicular with the landing
in example your head is pointed at the top of the landing and your bike is parrallell to it we already had this conversation in the fmx rd 1. thread i believe

no, the difference has to do with the actual rotation, in an underflip you pull the bike to the side and pull "under" hence underflip (a good example of this is levi sherwoods underflip)
a flipwhip is like a normal backflip rotation with a small turndown whip thrown in
