If you can hit jumps properly and consistently, then you should be fine to learn basic backflips.
As others have said, it's really as easy as a 360, just takes balls and a soft landing.
Do make sure you learn them into powder or something really soft your first time though, since everyone I know has landed on their head while trying to get used to the rotation. It's all about spotting your landing so you can speed up/slow down the flip.
Wait for a pow day and start with tame dogs or nollie front flips. Very easy to get around, you can do them off rollers and much lower on the risk scale than shit in the park.
When Kelly Kapowski says it's OK and Lisa Turtle and Jessie Spano are there to cheer you on. Just ask A.C. Slater for advice and avoid anything Screech tells you.
