Heres a real short video of my first and only flatwater backflip attempts. I was lucky enough to get to try them on a buddy's eme1000. However, i was very intimidated with the ski because i've only ridden one gallon of gas on it total, and it runs very very well. After watching the video, i know my form is all wrong and you can also tell by the sound that i'm just not hitting the throttle fully.

However, i could do one with lots more practice and a ski like this. Just need an extra $36k laying around and i'd have a shot at it

Wow Tom, you can tell that thing can almost do it by itself! You're not even really pulling on the bars or sinking the tail or anything. Steve must be pretty stoked with that ski!
You look like your suffering from the same problem I have - not spotting your landing. It also looks like your using a barrel roll set-up wave, and driving pretty far away from it before heading back at it. Just a couple more gallons through that thing and you'll get it, right? :)
